We don’t have the promise of tomorrow. I learned that when I was awakened at 3 in the morning by three police officers telling me my daughter had been killed in a car accident. After the shock the pain sets in. For a year I couldn’t sleep with the lights out and every morning I would wake up, realize it wasn’t a dream and would relive that horror all over again. So no we don’t know what we will be facing. My daughter and I were very close. We talked almost every day and I miss her every moment.

I was driving home from the mountains on a winding road last week and a guy on a Harley motorcycle blew by me in a reckless way. I thought, “this guy is going to kill himself driving like this”, three minutes later as I came around a bend in the road, this guy had planted his motorcycle into the side of a giant oak tree, his body thrown all the way across the road. I got out of the truck and walked over to see if he was still alive. He was DOA, not a twitch. In that moment I truly realized how fleeting life can be. It’s changed the way I drive and pay attention to everything in my surroundings. I use to be a bit reckless, this was my wake up call!!!

I work for a call centre- its probably the best job Ive ever had because its remote, it isnt pure physical graft like my previous work & it involves helping people.

His father had a high powered job - his bro is an investment banker. Most of us start life with our cart wheels in the mud.

[@JosephineLuu]

anyone pick a call center job over Steven's if you have the ability is either insane or lazy. Underline here is having the ability. He didnt't look down on you guys, he just share his experience. If he keeps working at the call center, we wont' have this incredible podcast. You are living a shed, the shed that said others succeed because they have advantage. You will never strike for anything better because it's rigged. It maybe rigged but with this mindset, you won't even have a chance to succeed

[@silverfawn7370]

@JosephineLuu Your points are valid, people should not let a rigged system stop them from following their passion and achieving success. However success looks different for all of us. It sounds to me like the poster is succeeding. They have come a long way, have the best job they ever had, remote job that works for a balanced life, and they are continuing to progress. If having a business that makes money means putting 90% of the business effort into marketing and using spy skills to get an advantage, and only 10% into the passion of making a good product, a lot of people would not find it fulfilling or successful. And that is totally fine. We might not end up rolling in swimming pools full of dollar bills, and if everyone was, then inflation would occur, and everything would be more expensive. If we are not predisposed to the kind of business success described in this video, perhaps we are predisposed to other kinds of success.

[@JosephineLuu]

@@silverfawn7370 I agree that a stay at home wife/mom can also succeed at life, its whatever makes you happy and fulfilled. For Steven, he's not happy and feel fulfilled with the call center job, he didn't look down on the people work at call center. Poster feels offended for some reason and start attacking Steven's personal achievements. So I do disagree with you about poster is succeed. Happy and fulfilled people don't feel offended like this and definitely not be droven attacking others by their EGO

[@silverfawn7370]

@JosephineLuu I think it's also fair to say that it can feel threatening if high profile businesspeople assert their way of success and make it sound easier than it is, to market their product. I am not interested in owning a business but I can see aspects of what Andrew has called coersion in the video, that would play on people's insecurity or money fears to encourage them to learn with Andrew even if the viewer is not really the target audience. Some insecurity is natural human nature and as an initial response to the video I think it's fine and valid. As long as we then reflect on that and find a better or more relevant way for our continued improvement.

[@DamienShyne]

​@@darthdeprave2179 I can answer this for you; the majority of society operate within their bubbles and have difficulty accepting the cognitive dissonance required to process what he's saying. Using the 80/20 rule, most people dont want the truth they want the truth thats optimal to their conditioning. The toxic comments as you put it are those whose cognitive bias is so profound that they are compelled to leave disparaging comments to reconfirm their worldview. He's spoken extensively in other podcasts about the internal and external locus of control. Those who cannot recognize their biases commonly point to an external mechanism that drives their worldview. People with an external locus of control believe that events outside of their control influence their actions and outcomes. Someone with an external locus of control, a student for example, might believe they failed a test because they were sick, the test was too hard, or their teacher doesn't like them. Its much easier for the people in the comments to create an external locus in their minds, usually a conspiracy or invalidating or discounting him rather than accepting that their worldview is flawed. The WHOLE POINT of Andrew's "Mission Mindset" and the summary of all of his podcasts is to create your own opportunity by: 1. Acknowledging that you have biases and they cannot be overcome. 2. Apply the Pareto Principle 3. Focusing on Perspective over Perception and finally 4. Overcoming external locus of control. People are confused about the 'manipulate' and 'deceit' when in reality these people who claim to be held by ethics absolutely, albeit unconsciously act in that manner (because their external controls/ worldview dictates as such) but in reality he means you can use those methods to MOTIVATE people because psychologically they're similar.

I feel pity for you. That was great advice. You learn from listening and observing.

Just because someone gave you a hammer/tool doesn’t mean you can fix everything with that one tool. Should you trust a spy. No. But if you listen to what people say you should be able to take the information that’s useful to you and discard the rest. If your reaction is to discard everything he says because you know he’s a spy, it’s not that you don’t trust him. You don’t trust yourself or your own discernment.

I have a few thoughts: 1. In March he said people should take their kids and leave the USA before 2030 - now he wants the best USA for his kids 2. Last time he said he wanted to help people - now he's saying he only cares about his family. So, why would we want to sign up for his programmes. This makes it difficult to feel compassion for his recent loss of his grandma as he moved off from that very quickly. 3. If he was in the CIA and he's allowed to share IP and build them into frameworks that is for sale outside the CIA I can't imagine the CIA agreeing to that. (Does that mean he is still really is CIA) 4. If we are in a the shed how is teaching people how to get a pay rise getting them out of the cabin aren't you just enabling them to get a bigger cabin 5. Steven - only recruiting people who are like you is one of the biggest reasons (i.e. unconscious bias ) why companies are not being successful in attaining true diversity within their organisation. As a middle aged black female professional in the UK it is the key factor that I have faced over and over and again throughout my career. I would be interested to understand how you ensure you get that balance when you are interviewing. You won't really get true growth without diversity. 6.

No growth without diversity? Is diversity your power? Successful people can be successful doing the same exact thing people like or want. Diversity for diversity’s sake … isn’t the way. Ability / hard work are what bring success. You DEI ppl need to wake up. Look at the president of Harvard, or the secret service … them being diverse brought about insane incompetence and 0 accountability. But we should let them because they are women? Or bc the one is black? This is so against the American way and culture that we got from you… the UK brought about so much progress . Not bc of diversity, but bc of excellence

We are given "circles" (programming) from the moment we are born and all that programming before the age of seven is the hardest to "see" and reprogram. This is why it is so very important to put 90% of our efforts and resources should be focused on our children. This is where society changes, by what we program our children with. Right now, the programing is lack, struggle, competition, and limitation of imagination.

[@RayF6126]

There is usually 3 generations of adults for every one generation of school age children. 90% of our resources going to them would leave no security, or advancement for the adults required to teach, protect, and grow for the benefit of those children. Children are the future, but you need survive to the present to create change.

I disagree. While I do think Steven is a bit unnerved by how direct and pragmatic Andrew is in the first half, as anyone would be with a trained CIA agent, honestly, I think Steven is entirely fascinated by him and wants to know as much as he can and does have respect for him and what he says. There's no way Steven would talk to someone for almost 3 hours if he thought it was nonsense. Andrew says openly, don't just believe me, take the information and knowledge and test it for yourself. It's refreshing to see someone speak so direct about topics most skirt around. Andrew in my opinion is very coherent and gives a lot of good examples of how to take action in your own life.

[@masterrpgs]

I do not have to agree with everything a person says but for me he makes some very relevant and useful points especially regarding perception and perspective. Everyone has something to contribute and learn from. As he said, it’s up to each individual to “test” the information ourselves.

So, those people would not benefit from the program but he doesn’t mention that it’s not useful for everyone. He also gave an example of a client who had trauma and turned out to be successful despite the trauma. Relatively happy path. What about people who are devastated and paralyzed by trauma and can’t move forward till they heal instead of going around it. Very confusing unlike other guests who had clarity of thought and plan.

And they're making the world worse for everyone else-because they want to, and because they can. He said it himself. I'm honestly disgusted, but not surprised.

I agree. Why would he want to let people out of the 'shed'? So we can compete with him and his kids? This interview sounds like part of his long term plan for his family to continually benefit from the problems of other people without significantly helping anyone.

probably because he's a textbook sociopath

[@randomcommenteronyoutube1234]

This guy sounds like he was an entry-level operative and then left, voluntarily or involuntarily (?). On each podcast, Andrew just sounds like a guy who has never had to formally construct and defend a rigorous argument.

I'm not even half way through, but this is one of my favorite interviews with Andrew. Thank you both! Great talk.

The Bully analogy Andy used is why I listen to everything he says. Flawless manipulator & educator!

[@silverfawn7370]

Why would he educate you on how to become an entrepreneur or 'bully'? You would only compete with his kids in business, like how China will compete with America. He's manipulating you for his own gain.

[@fs5775]

If he's so "flawless" then why does the whole comment section see him as a fraud and full of BS?

[@masonicprince1]

@fs5775 His operation is most likely to recruit. He's recruiting. That's a flawless execution. I don't think he's an influencer in a like me, please method. He's more of a Howard Stern, The Rock when he wrestled, or Donald Trump style influencer.
