Embark on a voyage through the complexities of entrepreneurial partnerships and the agility of decision-making in the world of business. We kick things off with a candid discussion on the synergy of finding a kindred spirit to share in your business ventures and the electrifying result that can come from such alliances. As we dissect the art of swift choices and how they can catapult you ahead, we also acknowledge the delicate dance of aligning personal morals with professional actions — a dance we know all too well from an encounter with a contractor that tested our commitment to excellence.
Dive deeper with us as we navigate the murky waters of buyer's remorse and the resolve it takes to stand by life-changing commitments. Relatable tales from my own whirlwind marriage and career revelations highlight just how crucial it is to stay true to oneself, even when the waves of doubt and the comfort of the status quo threaten to pull us under. It's not just about making decisions, but making them with conviction and learning to steer the ship through storms of second-guessing with your values as your compass.
In this episode, we not only chart a course through the personal domains of friendship and communication but also cast a wide net over the broader seas of happiness and success. Discover how small, consistent actions can build into a tidal wave of change in your life, whether it's through parenting, personal growth, or the delight of sinking your teeth into a delicious donut.

It's the small steps that you're going to make. The first thing is you need to decide do I want to change, yes or no?
Robby:You know, changing is not as easy as Changing. What you do is not as easy as you make it out to be.
George:That's the beauty of it. Like you, don't clock this game. You never clock this game, you never clock life as you said you don't get to that point and you go. Cool, there's always fucking problems. Next level of problems.
Robby:You're gonna have adversity in your life and you need to understand that. Welcome back to another episode. I'm gonna stop welcoming people back. What do you reckon? I'm just gonna start with rolling with whatever we're talking about, because if every episode starts the same, this is the episode, right? If every episode starts the same, I don't know. What do you reckon, george? Absolutely let's mix this shit up let's change it up what's going on, fuckers you ready to get your ear drums blown away?
George:because that's what's about to happen in this next episode of Million Dollar Days. We're going to be talking sick shit. We're going to be talking things that are going to change your life and absolutely motivate you to get out of bed and get shit happening. We're here to tantalize and we are here to tantalize. That's it, full stop. End of conversation. Thanks for joining us. See you next time. Yeah, how you doing, man? Good buddy.
Robby:What's news Since the last time we spoke?
George:Yeah, heaps of sick things happening every single time.
Robby:It's like every time.
George:There's too much. There's way too many things, and often we'll message each other, be like, oh, this, this, this, and you're like, yep, too much, we need to stop. We need to slow down.
George:We need to slow down, but for us it's easy, because we're very ambitious. We've got big goals that we're trying to achieve in both our respective businesses, but also together too. We are business partners in other ventures too, and we also find that or I find anyway that we feed off each other 100% and I find it fortunate. Man, I appreciate you, I appreciate you, I appreciate everything you do, the feeling's mutual.
George:Thanks, bro. I appreciate it because I haven't always had that. I haven't always had someone that I could speak so openly and honestly to with regards to things I want to achieve and business stuff and ideas, and I'll often think of something and I'll even run it past you just to get that second opinion, because I value your opinion, but also it's great to have that person to lean on. Uh, from a perspective of I'll tell you something like no dude, what are you doing? That's way too small. You could be doing this like or I'll say this what do you reckon?
Robby:yeah, that's sick, cut me in yeah, stop fucking around, I want in, I want in. Um, yeah, I agree, I agree. I think there is a huge power in that as well. Yeah, I mean even and that's that's the the positive even sometimes, like when you're down yeah, do you know what I mean? And then you're like and then you get picked up and you're like, oh cool, let's fucking go. What the fuck was I doing? Let's go.
Robby:You know yourself yeah, and it's um for yourself yeah, and it's, it's sick, it's sick and I think a lot of people don't have it yeah a lot of people don't have. And you know, depending on what you want, you need to find someone that sort of sees eye to eye with that. I think a lot of people don't yeah. They either don't have someone or they used to, and they're still hanging around people who don't yeah, which I did for a long time.
George:Yeah, for sure. And here's the thing about even for most of you that are business owners that listen to this podcast, and some that are not, because they just love the sound of our voice. But for those of you that are business owners, it's often difficult to do everything you do day in, day out and then go home and relay that to your partner because they're not on the same wavelength. They relay that to your partner because they're not on the same wavelength. They can't necessarily give you the right advice Absolutely. They can give you support, but it may be that they can't give you that advice in that business decision that you need to make. They can't give you advice in the next step in your personal, professional lives. So you often need to look outside that circle.
George:Now, if you're fortunate enough that you have some friends that are that way inclined and have some really big, ambitious goals like I love all of my friends, like really great guys and we get along like we've been friends for over 20 years However, it's not necessarily the conversation.
George:I would call them up and have a business conversation with them, because not all of them are in business. They've got very well professional, paid jobs, but some of them can't think along those wavelengths. I've got one other guy paid jobs, but some of them can't think along those wavelengths. I've got one other guy that's just even well above where I'm at and I wouldn't necessarily go to him for advice because he's got. It's a completely different realm of where he's operating and it wouldn't necessarily be beneficial for me. But look outside that circle of your own family and friends and who you need to affiliate yourself with, and that sometimes can mean, a you've got to get out of your comfort zone and B just mingle with some people because ultimately, the more hands you shake, the more money you'll make. But it's also connections too.
Robby:Do you like networking? That's a good question. Of course, we only ask the best questions on this podcast.
George:Do I like it as in yes, get to network tonight, let's fucking go. Not necessarily, although how sick. Oh that episode. You've already listened to it, no doubt about the F1. Oh sick, it just reminded me of it again.
Robby:A couple of weeks ago. Yeah, oh, sick episode.
George:Like what a great concept that is. Yeah, what a great concept. And for those you tuning in for the okay.
Robby:Hold on hold on, hold on, okay, so let's break this down, because I just asked you if you like networking and you went real quiet, real quick, yes. And then you all of a sudden thought about a particular type of networking and you got real excited yeah, but only because of the challenges associated with that.
George:So because I've gone in there with a specific goal, like we're saying, no, we're going to outlay sixty thousand dollars, put our nuts on the line and go, we're going to make that sixty thousand dollars back in three days, let's go and speak to every single fucker in that place, get business cards, make deals and show people that you can make. It can be an investment in your business, in your life. So that's's what I was excited about with that. But going back another step, do I like it, man? I don't know. I can't say I do. I can't say I do. I see the benefit. I hate the type of people, though, sometimes, that are there just to network and create deals Kind of annoys me sometimes, personally, if you're just there to talk to me because you want something from me.
Robby:Why does it lie?
George:Because I don't know if it's necessarily genuine.
Robby:It's like a fake facade yeah.
George:I kind of feel that that's what it would feel like.
Robby:Hey man, what do you do? Exchange cards.
George:That's right, like if you're genuinely there trying to help me, then absolutely. But if you're there just to get another sale, and that's what I feel that that can be sometimes snake oil salesman, you know snake. Or snake oil salesman, you know man, you're coming across too sleazy, or the or the sleazy car dealer, that sort of person. I think. If you've genuinely got great intentions to help me in whatever I'm doing, then yeah, absolutely. I want to connect with you.
George:If it's just to make to do my marketing, or you want to fucking come and be my main supplier, like I just mate, you got to qualify, you know what I mean so but, even for myself say'm on the because if we do this thing next year, we'll get when Sorry, when we do this thing next year, the shoe's going to be on the other foot. So I'm going to go in there going well, fuck, we've got a target now that we've got to hit. We've got to make deals. But I personally, because of my I'm a really good consultant, I'm a really good marketer whatever I'm going to be, I genuinely believe in my product and everything I sell.
George:And I did this really powerful exercise in my last training actually, where I was talking about you believing in your product so much that you would sell it to yourself or to your grandmother, or it's the pill that you would swallow because it's going to give you everything you need. I genuinely believe in everything I do, so I've got no issue selling it to someone. But I find a lot of those people that are in that space where they're trying to network with everyone in the room. They're doing it for the wrong reasons. They're just trying to get as many deals as they can. They're trying to be a hot shot, they're trying to be a legend in their own right, and it doesn't necessarily mean you're trying to give me the best value. You're looking out for number one, so that's my issue with it. The other thing is it could be a level of arrogance, I think.
Robby:As in.
George:What am I? I'm so busy, why the fuck am I going to talk to you, okay. So, like, leave me alone, yeah, like if someone was talking to me, but also vice versa, I don't need you, yeah. So perhaps that's why I don't network as much as I could. In saying that, like we've been involved in business circles and I've done business with people in those circles as well, there was probably a lot more opportunity for me to step into some of those deals with people where I could go hey, do this, I can build your home, I can do this, I can do that. But I never actually did why? I always felt that everyone knew what I did and what I was about, and if they wanted to connect with me, they could, because I didn't want it to seem forced either.
Robby:I didn't want it to be like hey, you building a house.
George:Let me build for you.
Robby:I do that too though.
George:Yeah.
Robby:Like I don't go around begging everyone to work with me.
George:Not begging I don't think that's the right word. Or pitching yeah, pitching is probably better. Yeah.
Robby:Yeah, like hey, you want to work, I don't go around pitching everyone. Yeah, yeah, funny that I don't know why I don't.
George:But yeah, I don't it. It comes back to that question you asked the other day do you love sales? It's kind of that, it's very related.
Robby:yeah, very, very related. But where I want to go with this is when was the last time you changed your mind about something?
George:Well, I don't know. I can't give you the exact moment. Think about it. However, I thought do you want to have a moment of silence?
Robby:Yeah, okay, I'll just entertain everyone.
George:You can just keep talking. Before you do that, though, here's the thing, and I was listening to this podcast this morning, not this one, guys, outside of this, I do, on occasion, listen to something else other than Million.
Robby:Dollar Days On occasion, just in case you're wondering.
George:Now here's the thing Decisions are not as final as people think. They are all right. There's no, there's very few decisions that it's the ultimate decision and you can't change your mind. You can't go back. There's very few in your life that you'll take. Will there be consequences if you change your mind absolutely? But these are definite generally, not generally not.
George:You can make a lot like I'm talking some, a lot of decisions that we make day to day and too often people are waiting for the perfect scenario, the perfect conversation, the perfect thing, and don't take the appropriate action, but don't. Speed, I think, is more important than the perfect decision. I reckon you can execute quicker on speed and make a more impactful result than just waiting for the perfect moment, waiting for the conversation moment, waiting for the conversation, waiting for things to be all in a line. I think speed's critical when it comes to decision making, and knowing that you have the ability to change your decision if you need to, I think is really powerful, and the people that don't dwell are the people that will get the actions that get the result for sure, and I've tried to incorporate that a lot in my life. Where I'll go, I've never had buyer's remorse Like ever, ever, never.
Robby:So you've never bought something and thought no.
George:Never Bought it. It's no good, fuck it, give it another one. I've never thought and this is before, this is even before I had a bit of money behind me. Even then I was just like, oh, whatever, waste of money, never do that again.
Robby:Do you? That's funny. I tend to know my shit Whenever.
George:I buy something or make a decision, I'll commit to it. The best decision you can make is the one that you make at that time, the one you can make now. That's it, that's all. There is anything above and beyond that? It doesn't like. That's the decision. That is it. Don't dwell on it. You've made it. Move on from that point, because if you said, if I wait two months and make a decision, then yeah, but if you wait two months you could be dead and then you'll never make that fucking decision so one thing with that.
Robby:There's a book called the 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, and the first law is it's better to be first than to be better.
George:Yeah, that's it Speed matters, speed matters, speed matters. It was in Patrick Bette David's book as well, on your next five moves. He did a whole chapter on speed. He goes like speed is so critically important to be able to do something faster than everyone else, like get it, get the process done. How do we make this quicker Like imagine if I could build a house in six months as opposed to 12. I'd double my profit.
Robby:It's one of the you know the value equation. Yeah. It's one of the factors. Yeah, how quick can I have it, if you can have it now? Now, what do you think? Drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, are readily available. Not just that, they're readily available most of them. You take them and you get the result Like you take a Nurofen and your headache's gone in 10 minutes.
Robby:There is definitely many other ways to get rid of a headache Way better, healthier ways that you can get rid of a headache in maybe 20 minutes. But no one wants to wait. They're like give me the new thing. Is it Zavance, because that one works quicker. Is it Panadol Rapid? Because that one worked quicker? Give me that one. Speed sells man it's true, absolutely Just to touch on what you said as well what is a decision that you cannot go back? On Life or death one.
George:Having a kid.
Robby:Yeah, okay.
George:Yeah, like I say life or death. Yeah, I'll tell you something along those lines.
Robby:Anything other than that.
George:Something that has a severe consequence in a negative or positive way, I guess yeah.
Robby:Like chopping your leg off.
George:Yeah, it's not going to grow back.
Robby:How cool would it be for green legs.
George:We, we'd fucking be billionaires right now. I'll tell you that If we could figure that out, who does China? China, let's go. Prosthetics, oh, no shit.
Robby:Yeah, there was a guy there with no arms, wearing two arms and a head thing, and he can control the prosthetics through the. How good, insane.
George:How good is that.
Robby:Yeah, back to the topic.
George:So a decision I've made, that I changed my mind. A decision that you've made, apart from life and death is there any other decisions that you make or anyone makes? I'm initially thinking from a business perspective right now?
Robby:Yeah, okay, is there any other decision? A business makes?
George:Recently I've set a standard in my business where I don't want to work with fuckwits anymore Not that I ever did before, but I'm less inclined to work with people that are not inclined, that are not in line with our business values. And we had a contractor on site. He was doing some uh, an element of some work, so some structural walls he was building for us. We got everything ready for him. So my site team did everything above and beyond the spot. The site was absolutely spotless. It was so good for him. So my site team did everything above and beyond the spot. The site was absolutely spotless. It was so good for him Like we practically spoon fed him the job. It was that good. And he rocked up on site.
George:This is the owner of the company rocked up on site and he complained because some of where we placed the panels and it wasn't just like oh, I wish you'd move them a forward. He like lost his, lost his shit. The panels were located probably two meters further than when he where he would have wanted them and he's like this is bullshit. I asked you guys to do this. You haven't done it. Now I have to pay my guys to move it from there to there and, mind you, like his guys that he employed were, let's just say, of maori descent, because that's what they were, and they're big boys. They're big boys, yeah, and they're both looking at each other going, mate, I can lift one of these panels on my own, like it's not a big deal, but the boss was carrying on like a pork chop, so it's bullshit.
George:I asked you to clean this place up and my site manager was there. He's like mate, this, because what are you talking about? This place is spotless. I would, I would eat my food off the floor right now. This place is so good for you and I've literally fed you this whole thing. Right, you are ready to go? Stop complaining over this stupid shit.
George:He kept carrying on, carrying on and then my site manager, like he's to the point where my site manager turned around and said listen, mate, just fuck off, get off site, right, I don't want to have this conversation with you anymore, leave. And he's very rarely like you have to push someone to tell them to leave site a contractor that we've engaged, like that's a decent deal. And I spoke to he called me up and he told me the story. I said great, okay, I called up the office. I said tear up his contract, send him an email now Say you're not welcome back on site, do not claim any money. We're not paying you a thing, right. Because now you're delaying us by a else to do this job, piss off.
George:So I suppose that was reverting back on a decision that we made to engage that contractor, and we've got rid of him Because for me, as I said, one of my core business values is excellence. I've got it written on all my signage. It's on my cars everything building excellence. So in order for me to deliver excellence, I've got to then live by that standard. I've got to pay the right people.
George:I have to. It's one of my core business values that I've got to uphold that standard. So that might mean I have to pay for that. That might mean I've got to do extra to deliver that, which also means I probably charge more, because in order for me to deliver on one of my own core business values, I have to charge more than the average Joe. Now the average Joe probably would have gone back and said okay, we'll move it, we'll do this, we'll do this, come in, we'll bend over backwards, you get the job. No, fuck you. We're deleting your details, don't call us again. You're never working with us, and if we ever come across the same circles, we'll tell people not to work with you too, because this was so unprofessional the way you've carried on done so.
Robby:That's probably the most recent decision that I've gone back on so that was the last time you changed probably the last time. Yeah, okay, that's cool. There up I'd imagine there are people who would have went through that exact same thing and not changed their mind yeah, without a doubt.
George:What's out of fear? Why, yeah, difficulty. It was harder for me to then go to someone else.
Robby:Yeah, and time, effort, money. It was not easy for you to do it, but you did it.
George:No, that's right, but you asked me why people wouldn't yeah yeah, so.
Robby:I'm saying time, effort, money in that instance, cost you the same thing it cost me. Yeah, well, I said, my values I value, because if I didn't, have that core value of we want to work with a better quality trade and person and deliver a better quality product, then perhaps I wouldn't. That wouldn't have mattered to me. So do you think that other people don't want to work with better quality trades and?
George:again, I always say this path of least resistance. You know it's yeah, so why could you?
Robby:yeah, so why could you do it? And they're probably. There would be some builders who would do it, but I'd imagine a majority wouldn't.
George:Yeah, potentially yeah. I don't know. It depends on people, like some people.
Robby:General. I think generally.
George:Okay, I'm going to say the majority would continue with that relationship.
Robby:At the end. That's what I'm saying. They wouldn't have changed.
George:Oh yeah, that's.
Robby:Whereas you change, yeah, yeah. So what is it? Because most people, I'd say, would want to work with better people. Yeah, but there is something, and the reason why I'm asking is because I'm trying to work out. I think I've got another answer. Yeah, what is?
George:it Experience. I've gone down the path of using someone like that before and it didn't work and I'd go back and go fuck. I wish I got rid of him sooner. Back, I go fuck. I wish I got rid of him sooner, but I continued even though my gut told me not to. I've used trades like that in the past. I've used people that were not in line with my business values, that didn't deliver from day one the service that they promised and, as a result, I end up paying for it even more down the track. So this guy potentially came in, didn't give a shit about his job, all the walls are crooked and I find out after and then I have to spend even more money to get someone else in to come and fix it. So I've found that over the years that I've now learned to trust my gut more so. And again, by holding that better caliber and standard over myself and the team, we're attracting the right people to our business.
Robby:You know, I think most people know what they should be doing yeah, I agree with that but I also think most people don't. I also agree with that.
George:Why, again, I I think that it's too hard. I believe that it's too difficult for them. Or it's a difficult conversation, like in anything. In anything, it could be personal as well difficult conversations. They don't have them because it's easier just to. Let's just do this like whatever. All right, let's go learn this. Where was it? I'll add a training I went to recently. You, you've already completed that one, and it's like why?
George:Compromise, compromise is lose, lose, youlose. You give something up, I give something up, and then we do the job in the middle. Why can't it be win-win? All right, working with a perceived Working with an ally is better than negotiating with a perceived enemy, all right. So work with someone that is willing to work in with you. It's always going to be better than having to butt heads with someone that's going to always challenge you on every turn. So I want to surround myself with those types of people. And look, not everyone is going to be suited to work with me. Maybe I'm the asshole, who knows, maybe I'm the difficult one, but that's fine. There's people that enjoy working with me and my company and everything we do and work about. And then there's people that's not, again, totally fine, but I reckon it's people don't do it because of those difficulties initially and they probably don't have the foresight to see where this relationship or this decision is headed as well. Maybe they haven't experienced it before.
Robby:That's actually a little bit different about changing your mind, though I just thought of it there, because new information came to light and you made a different decision.
George:In that instance, yeah, yeah, as in just oh, let's go this way. Oh no, let's go left. Oh no, no, let's go right.
Robby:Do you get?
George:what I'm saying. Yeah, I was just trying to think of an example off the top of my head, so I'm just trying to.
Robby:I don't really remember, Because there'd be particular things. We all have things in life that we?
George:Okay. I recently bought a new car for a new work vehicle. All right, never driven it, never test drove it, just saw it. So, yeah, cool, just get me two. You didn't drive it, didn't even get into it. What? Just saw it online, called up a bloke and said do you have two? Yes, okay, I'll take them. Do you have this color? Yes, you bought two, bought two, and I won't say the brand. Actually, it doesn't really matter, say the brand. Who gives a fuck? It's an LDV ute. Yeah, it Anyway LDB.
Robby:Hey, you were talking about the experience.
George:No, I don't think I have.
Robby:What were we talking I?
George:haven't spoken about this car before, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, it's brand new. Like last week we bought the cars. They're company cars, they're for my employees.
Robby:You have? Yeah, do not carry on. Are you talking about incompetency, when people can't do basic shit? Oh fuck.
George:I don. Delivery experience wasn't great, although when I took it back to the service department they were fantastic, really, really, yeah, really good, good on it, like really nice people fixed, fix their wrongs, apologize, like just they didn't need to. None of that I wasn't expecting anything, but they were really professional and really nice. So credit to them there. But I bought this ldv and I've been driving it for the last two days because I went and got some company signage on on the car and had to do a few bits and pieces. So I was driving for the last couple of days and it wasn't as refined as, say, my Ranger. Yeah, very different cars, like you can't compare the cars and it's like, no, it's a ute. Like how different can it be? But it is very different and this is the top of the range of that vehicle that that vehicle has to offer Rough at ride, louder engine noise, like in the cabin, just not as refined. But for the money I thought great value for money, great value for money. Anyway, after driving it for a couple of days I then just jumped into the Ranger again and go holy shit, this is like a Rolls Royce. I think this feels so much better. It is the next level difference, anyway.
George:But after I bought that car I was like, okay, well, maybe I should have looked and done a bit more research on the other equivalent brands in that in that space, like I was never going to go buy another. Right, these are company cars. Yeah, they're for my employees to drive around, to load up, to use as a work vehicle. I'm not buying them brand new ranges, I'm buying them a purpose-built car for what I need. And perhaps I could have looked at some of the other cars in that space. And then Mike, one of my supervisors he goes, oh, you should have checked this car out and I actually drove his car. I go, oh, wow, this drives a lot better and it was a lot more comfortable. It didn't look as nice inside, but it actually was a much nicer drive. So maybe a decision there could have been oh, maybe I should have checked out other cars perhaps.
George:But in that same token, I don't care enough because I'm not driving the car every day. It's for them and I think I look at value as well. I'm a very big opportunity cost type person, so I look at it as far as well the money I'm paying, the features I'm getting and so on and so forth. So I make my decisions and I still don't have buyer's remorse. Still don't have it. That's great. This is what we're getting. There's got seven year warranty. Run them to the ground. We'll use them as we need to.
Robby:We'll sell them when we're done what do you think buyer's remorse is?
George:you regret your decision after you've made the purchase so you might get caught up in the moment. Actually, you know what I see. People do this all the time, for example, buying a training course. They come to one of our trainings and they get hyped up. They're so excited because we put on a show, an amazing show. We educate, we motivate for the time being and people go.
George:Yes, I want to be a part of this, I want to achieve excellence in my business. I want to get the results. And then they get stuck into the work and they go. Oh no, I don't want to do this anymore. I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have signed up. My wife's going to hate me. My wife's like we don't have the money anymore, I can't find the money in the business, and people back out all over again. They fall back into the same old habits and nothing changes in their life. So, yeah, I reckon the fear might come into it a little bit. For sure, yeah, there's just like oh, I don't know if I can do this. This is too much of an investment. People are going to think about me weirdly. In whatever the purchase is, or commitment, it doesn't have to necessarily be a monetary exchange. It could be a commitment to something.
Robby:Yeah, but that would be different. Isn't that different to buyer's remorse?
George:Buy if it's not purchase.
Robby:I don't know.
George:Is it? I was saying, let's use the example of a boyfriend-girlfriend. You go cool. I want to go out with this person Actually, recently my cousin's friend, I don't know him that got, otherwise I would name him and shame him right now. Frank.
George:Frank Got married and been with a girl for seven years before they got married, married for six months. She wants a divorce. Yeah, but maybe she got buyer's remorse. You know what I mean. It's like fuck, this isn't what I thought it would be, and now she goes and wants to call quits. Potentially, that's it nah, surely so.
Robby:In a case like that, surely something's happened uh, I don't think so.
George:You reckon nothing's happened?
George:yeah, he's explained the situation to me, fair enough, that's and I think she just just didn't think it was going to be what she thought in her head. That's all she thought it was going to be here. Maybe she's watching too many disney movies, I don't know. She's cuckoo thought, yeah, a little, a little bit. It could be that From what I've seen well, right, I've heard. I know nothing about these people. I've never even met them. I'm just saying where that scenario goes. But perhaps that's a level of buyer's remorse. She's gone. Holy shit, this is not what I want anymore. I'm out. She's bought into that relationship, physically, mentally, and now she's in it and goes. Well, fuck, is this what the next 40 years is going to be like?
Robby:Is that buyer's remorse, or is that a fear of commitment? Or is that a awakening like awareness? Is this it? Because I do that sometimes, dude, I've gotten into positions where I'm like, okay, I used to work at Mercedes-Benz, I became an advisor at 22 or whatever, and at the start it was unbelievable. I was making great money for my age. I was driving around in brand new Benz. It was cool. I'd just moved out of home. I was living on my own, driving a brand new Mercedes, wearing a suit and tie every day. Yeah, it was like pinnacle made it.
Robby:Yeah, I was like this is it? You know what I mean.
George:I'm never leaving this place, living large.
Robby:Making bank, like you know, and then maybe 12 months, 18 months, and I'm like is this it Like? Is this it Like? This is that's it next 30 years. You know what I mean? Like this is it? She can stay here. And yeah, I freaked and I was like I don't know, Like this can't be.
George:So that's a good thing then Do you know? What I mean From that remorse.
Robby:You could also say that I don't know this guy or girl, but you could also say Frank's wife. It's the same sort of thing.
George:Yeah, absolutely. I said to him. I said this is the best thing that's ever happened.
Robby:Better now than three kids and a decade down the track.
George:I know a few people that that's happened to, where they got married and then they divorced not long after, and I'm like that's the best thing you could have ever done. And I know other people who are two kids, three kids how much are you lacking? Awareness in the relationship. It could be a whole bunch of pressures. In that instance it could be good on paper.
Robby:Maybe they're both greek, both come from nice families or both lebanese nice families.
George:Oh, this, I'm talking about a different example. Now I'm just saying let's think, yeah, but even that scenario, like everyone, all the families got along, everything was great, whatever it means, but it's. I don't blame that girl in any instance. This is the best decision. If she feels like that now, yeah, it doesn't see a way forward 100%, you've got to break it up.
Robby:Do it now. Yeah, do it now.
George:Because once you have the kids, Shooty now, you'll be fine later. That's right. Once you have all these other things in place, it's a different ballgame.
Robby:It'll make it so much harder.
George:It's a different ballgame.
George:Then you like cool, this didn't work. See you later. All the best with your life. I'm doing this now and, yeah, that can be a right move for them. Yeah, but I've seen other people that I know where they might be two, three kids deep and you're like, you know, they're telling me about their lives and it's like, oh, this is going and this is going. I'm like dude, that's not normal behavior. Yeah, you can't be acting like that, you can't be doing this and I don't give advice because it's not my place to step in in anything like that. And if they come in and say you told me, I say no, I didn't fucking say shit like that. But I've ship, like right. But I've seen other scenarios and other people that aren't in great relationships now and it's seven years down the track would you like for someone to tell you perhaps some people need it.
George:It depends how good of a friend you are, I suppose, and how close you are, and, yeah, you almost need to not give a fuck of the consequence. Do you know what I mean? You have a missus, all right, she comes in here and she just walks in now stops us from casting, alright, first of all, I'm throwing the fucking chair at her. I need you to understand that. Don't ever walk in here whilst we're casting not before me or not?
George:but let's just say, okay, we're all out, we're friends. And she's talking to my missus. All she's doing all night is bagging you. Yeah, I fucking can't stand Robbie, his parents, his mum's this, his sister's that, his brother's that. He's a joke, all this sort of shit.
Robby:This is what should happen.
George:Bro and they're in a relationship.
Robby:Sorry, and they're in a relationship what do you mean you know of? I just don't know anyone that does that oh, you know what that's.
George:I know of people. I know of people that have done it. It's the past, to my wife, all right, and and we've said, we've had words. I'm like, dude, you can't, not to my wife, she's like fine, but even like friends of friends, like in circles, we've had people like that.
George:This is many years ago, mind you not recently, so someone's raving on about yeah, yeah like dude, if you hate the bloke, like like, don't fucking talk, break up, leave, break up Now again. If I'm good friends with you, now I'd say, oi, this is happening. I need to tell you because it's becoming an issue, because it's involving me and other people and our mates, and she's talking shit about you and I love you. You need I would want to be told yeah, exactly, especially because you don't know what you don't know.
George:Yeah, I would want to listen I'm telling you this is a friend. You can take it however you like. You can hate me for it if you want to choose. I'm I'm good like that, though that's the sense that if you want to hate me because of shit that's going on in your life, I can't. I've done the right thing. My conscience is clear 100.
Robby:Let me flip the script, though, because that's like knowing something. And you're like do I tell them, do I not? Yeah, whereas the other thing is like. I come to you and I'm like, yeah, man, you know, did this or saw this other chick the other night, and then you're like, dude, you shouldn't be doing that, yeah. But then you're like do you tell them?
George:Do I tell who?
Robby:If I had the bad behavior.
George:Yeah, right, and you're hooking up with other birds while you're with one bird here.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Yeah, do you.
Robby:I would want, if I was doing that, I would want people to tell me or I would probably tell my mates and be like dude what the fuck are you doing? Either leave the girl alone, or guy. Whatever it is. It could be a business situation, you could be ripping someone off, you could be cheating on someone. Whatever, I feel like I would say something. I also would like to be told if I was doing something that wasn't.
George:Yeah, I agree.
Robby:I agree.
George:And I do agree with that and I think that comes more with experience in life.
Robby:Yeah, because you know how to take it and give it.
George:No, that's right. But also, again, I have a higher level of standard of people that I want to be around my life. Yeah.
George:Okay. So, for example, you're going out, you're cheating on your missus, you're doing this, you're doing that, you're doing drugs on the weekend, whatever it is. I can't ever have a proper conversation with you. Loose lips, sink ships. I can't tell you something in confidence without and saying, listen, robbie, I'm going to tell you something now. Man, you can't tell anyone. I've got zero confidence that you'll keep that. Yeah, because of the actions that you're doing outside of that. So my conversations with him you're like either, cool, I'm reducing my time with Robbie. He's great to hang around with, he's fun.
George:We do a podcast together every Tuesday, every Wednesday, whatever it is, but other than that, I'm putting a limit. That's it, my limit, that's the line and beyond that again, if I really valued everything we're about and what we do, I say listen, dude, I'm going to tell you this as a friend I don't think the way you're living your life at the moment is great. I don't think that's who you are. If it is who you are, that's like no judgment.
George:You do you, but what you're doing to this poor girl, it's not the right thing. She loves you, adores you, everything. And you're out brooding 15 other women at the same time. And maybe when I was 21, I'd be giving you high fives. Do you know what I mean? This is where I say your age and your maturity and your values change, because I had back in high school I had mates, or a couple of mates that had girlfriends, and then we'd go out with the boys on the weekend and then they'd be cheating on them every single time. They'd walk around giving high fives to everyone. I picked up. I'm like, okay, but Do you know what I mean? And maybe you don't have the confidence to say anything back then either.
Robby:Because you'd be friends also with the. Yeah, because then you're like, if I'm the guy who tells me everyone turns on me, yeah, but that's when you're young, that's right, that's what I mean.
George:So it's a different conversation from that perspective. Being younger, but now absolutely, that would go very much against my core values.
Robby:So I would say something to you and say, Oi, can't do this, bro, you just reminded me, man, I had a mate, got a mate, got a mate. He told me something about his. He was actually like a silly. It wasn't a bad thing, it was like a silly complaint, yeah yeah. It was like something about what milk his daughter's drinking or something, and he was just like he was like bro, I've had the worst day ever. And I come home and she's trying to explain something about milk to me and I'm just looking at her thinking like do you think I care about the milk? Oh dude, this happens all the time yeah Like like what milk?
Robby:yeah, like what milk? She's not drinking that milk, like I don't care. Like is she okay, that's it. Like you know what I mean, got a million fires I'm trying to put out yeah, I don't give a fuck about the milk.
George:This is a big problem with relationships is it?
Robby:stay at home mums potentially no. No, because you gotta remember, yeah, that milk thing, that's what she got. It's a big fucking deal for her. Yeah, it's messy.
George:You're like this is the highlight of my day, that's right. You're in the four walls with a child for fucking three, four years, whatever it is. Oh, she did this today. You know that was a big deal to her, yeah, but this is where a lot of relationships can break down in that perspective, because they don't understand what's going on in your world. You don't understand what's going on in their world.
George:Right, and this happened to one of my clients I think I mentioned it on the part on the on the podcast a few weeks back. But came home, wife said something in passing and he blew up. All right, it's like fuck, you're serious if everything going on that's what you're upset about right now. Like, and lost his plot and then they got into a big argument. They didn't speak for two, three days, but that didn't serve them in any way whatsoever that relationship, that whole conversation but it was because they weren't communicating and having those open conversations. And it's so important, so important, so critically important that you have those conversations every single day. If you're in a relationship right now, every Thursday, lock it in and have a conversation with your partner. Yeah, fucking oath, have a weekly meeting.
George:Schedule it, have it, oi, what's bothering you? This is where I'm at, this is what I'm doing, this is what we're doing, and so on and so forth. A great example I know the numbers inside out of my business, right? My wife has no fucking idea, no idea.
Robby:Nothing. Why would she need to? Why do you clone? She's like probably from Archer Downs.
George:What are you doing That'd be sick.
Robby:That'd be sick, she'd be accountable. Get pulled up.
George:No, but my conversation where I'm going with that. It's not necessarily that she needs to, but it's like well, what's the plan moving forward to do X, y, z, right, new cars, house, holidays, so on and so forth? Where's the life going over the next three to five years? What are we doing? How are we lifing? Now I need to sit down with her and say cool, this is what I've got work-wise, this is the money that I'm expecting to come in With this money, we're going to do this, we're going to do these investments, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. You on board, I'm going to need you not to buy a new car next month. Do you know what I mean? We've got to hold back on getting that boat or buying that holiday house. That's just good communication, isn't it? But so many people don't have it. This is what I'm saying. It's expected. Oh, you do that, I'll do this. You look after the money, I'll look after the kids, doesn't?
Robby:she know I'm doing this.
George:Yeah, it becomes that disconnect and it's also that resentment too. I'm home all day fucking looking after the kids, while you're out there having coffees and doing podcasts.
Robby:Yeah, You're like do you know how hard I work? Do you know how much stress I take on?
George:Really Well, okay, the fact that you can fucking open up the fridge right now and there's food in there, you're welcome, right. And then it's fucking on for young and old. Do you know what I mean? Massive, so critically important to every relationship sorry, everyone in a relationship right now gotta get your partner on board in the sense that weekly meeting hey, this is what I'm doing in my life right now. This is what I'm doing. This is I'm really stressed at the moment. I've got this on. I'm really stressed at the moment. I've got this on. You know, my friend wants me to play tennis all week this week because she's making me feel bad because of this, this, this and this that's big in her world. Right, I've got to play tennis all week. Are you fucking serious? At kuyong, yeah, do you know what I mean? That's your problem. Live in large. The membership is ten thousand dollars, you know, can? It's a bit annoying, but can. Amex is good what?
Robby:but they take amex, get the point, but what?
George:the fuck right, but that is big in her world, yeah, right is.
George:Whereas in your world it might be this, this, this and this, but if you don't communicate that to her or to him, how are they ever going to know? And then they might be like, okay, cool, yeah, I get it. We're trying to get the holiday house. We're trying to go on holidays next month. We're trying to buy a home. Maybe the tennis club membership isn't the right thing to bring up right now. You know, I can actually avoid going there, and then the relationship strengthens.
Robby:You know two things. I heard this thing the other day. You're talking all about communication, yeah, and I heard this thing the other day. I can't remember who shared it, but it was about, you know, tim Grover. Yes, tim Grover. He coached Michael Jordan, one of the highest performing athletes, kobe Bryant and he says early on in his career he was.
Robby:He used to travel a lot for work and he was going away and he's like this is the most difficult thing I've ever been told. And he's like his daughter came up most difficult thing I've ever been told. And he's like his daughter came up to him and she might have been like four or five and she said why do you have to go away? And he said I've got to go do work so that I can put food on the table and da-da-da and so forth. And then she goes away and then she comes back and she says if I eat less, would you stay home more? And it's just like fuck and that's just. I don't know why. What you said reminded me of that, but I wanted to share it and I think that is there's more to that story.
George:Hey, there's more to that story.
Robby:Is there. I don't even know what's up there yeah, do you know what he did?
George:no, he went to work I think I knew that yeah, he went to a lot of people.
George:I can't. It was on, it was on instagram somewhere. Yeah, yeah, and he goes. You know what I did? Because I kissed her, I said I love you, yes, but I'm going to work, all right, and he goes. It wasn't because I wanted to spend, of course. I wanted to spend every moment of every day with her because, as a as my role as the man and the provider for the family, if I'd stayed with her, I couldn't give them the life that I wanted to give them and that we discussed, and that she needs to grow up understanding that, yeah, daddy was working hard, he loved me, but he did that for me as well. Right, and then I'm expect, and then there, that's, that's the standard that I'm going to grow up one day and expect for myself, for my husband, partner, to look after me and do the same there and as heartbreaking as that moment would have been, because any father that hears something like that dies, especially if it's a little bit older.
Robby:I'm not even a dad, and I was like fuck. My daughter said that too.
George:She'll say stuff like can you not go to work tomorrow? No, sweetheart, I have to go to work every day. I'm never going to stop going to work. I'm always going to be at work, but I'm doing it for us, for family, for everything that's. My job is to look after you. And the way I combat that, especially lately, I've put my phone. Now that it's on, it automatically goes do not disturb. At 6 o'clock no one can reach me. Like I don't get notifications, nothing. It just sits on the charger and I won't pick it up until they go to bed. And now I play, like you know, with them every night, Like I'll do stuff. Yeah.
George:I do stuff Like I spend quality time with them. Yeah, present, yeah, I coach my son's football team like I spend quality time with them doing those sorts of things. That's that coaching like week, during the week we have to do a training session. That's during business hours, like I have to leave work early to go do the coaching thing. But I'll do it, I'll make it happen every single time because and and this made this is what made me like emotional my wife was talking she goes. Yeah, my son was like he loves how he's told her how much he loves me coaching the team. Because I love, because it's like the best thing ever that's sick.
George:That would be worth everything what fucking job am I going to win? That's going to make me happier than hearing that. What, what amount of money am I going to get? That's going to make me happier than hearing that nothing. Get some fucking perspective, guys. You know what I mean. Get some fucking perspective, if that's like fucking perspective. Find what truly makes you happy and that's what it is All right For me, anyway I think for everyone man. Yeah.
Robby:Yeah, you know what's. I asked you the question about what changes. When was the last time you changed your mind? Yeah, you know what's a big wake-up call in life when you get what you want and you're not happy. Yeah, yeah, have you experienced that?
Robby:Yeah, man Like you think, oh fuck it, if I only had this much money. And then eventually you make some money and it's sick at the start and then it becomes oh. But my perception of life was always I needed this one thing, and once I got, it, everything else would be okay, yeah, and now I've this one thing, and once I got it, everything else would be okay.
Robby:And now I've got that thing and I feel the same way and it's like fuck, what now? And that is a hard position, dude, because now you need something new, to look forward to, something. What's next? Like, what's that next thing? Do you know what I mean? And even when it first happened to me, I didn't know that I needed the next thing. I thought something was wrong because I didn't understand that something. Again another thing comes and you level up, you know what I mean, and that's the beauty of it.
Robby:Like you, don't clock this game you never clock this game, you never clock life, as you said you don't get to that point and go cool we're done. You Either you're making a certain amount of money or you have the right relationship and there's no more problems. That's it. There's always fucking problems.
George:It's the next level of problems and you're always going to experience difficulties and heartache, like if you think you're going to get through this life without your mum dying or your dad dying or your dog or heaven forbid a child like you're going to or a partner. You're have adversity in your life and you need to understand that, and a lot of us are not mentally and emotionally prepared for when that time happens, because so the vast majority of our lives is, generally speaking, for those of the, for those of us that are blessed to issue free until that moment when it does turn to shit, and then how do you act thereafter and how you react to it and that issue and all that sort of stuff how do you react?
Robby:leading to it as well, like you know, that at some point things are going to happen like it's inevitable, absolutely.
George:I mean, we're at the age, both of us, that our parents could, you know, touch wood, even though they're still relatively young could get a phone call you know what I mean and it could happen. It's like, oh fuck, maybe I should have gone to their house this weekend for dinner, you know, or for lunch or whatever it might be. So again, probably comes down to everyone's so busy in their life, everyone's got so much going on. But when you do have the time, just make sure it's quality time.
Robby:So what if you don't though, if you don't have what, not? If you don't have the time? What if you don't do those things? What if you…?
George:Can you live with the consequence?
Robby:What if you consistently…. Changing is not as easy as… Changing what you do is not as easy as changing what you do is not as easy as you make it out to be. And you'll always make excuses Ah, next week, ah, like you know, I'm just, I'm busy, there's a lot happening. I'll just I'll go see him whenever, or I'll go do this whenever, or I'll start eating clean in a year. You know what I mean. Like I just now need this. It's not a focus of mine. I'm trying to focus on making money, you know the Maccas and the Five Guys every night, just to get me through for now, because it's there, yeah, and how do you change that?
George:Go for a walk. And what I mean by that is do the smallest possible thing you could do to make the change today, because there is something you could do. You want to stop eating shit? Okay, tonight, order sushi. Don't order maccas. Order sushi. Make a home-cooked meal. Don't make it Uber. A nice healthy meal, uber something less healthy, less fattening. It might not be maccas, it might be Nando's, I don't know. Just do that one thing. So the 1%, yeah, the 1%, it's going to count. It's going to count.
George:And there was this person I can't remember. I heard it a little while ago, but effectively the person was bedridden, couldn't get out of bed. Physically fine, but just mentally couldn't get out of bed. And the psychologist was speaking to him and said might have even been Peterson, actually Jordan Peterson, yeah, he said can you sit up? He's like, yes, okay, can you walk to the door? He's like no, no chance, he goes, okay. Can you put your feet over the edge? He goes. Can you put one foot over the edge of the bed? He's like, yes. He's like, okay, do that. He goes. Then lie back down. That's still one foot more than what he did yesterday, all right. And then keep doing that for the rest of the week. I just want you to sit up and put one foot over.
George:And then he goes okay wake up Now, put the next foot over and put two feet over and do that for the next week. So now I want you to stand up. You stood up, all right. Next week, next week he goes now, do you feel comfortable walking to the cupboard? He's like, yeah, I can take two steps. I can do that. Walk two steps. Okay, go back to bed. And before he knew it, over the course of that year, he was at the door. So incremental. He was at the hallway, he was at the fridge, he was at the front door, he was at the car, he was driving or he was taking the dog for a walk.
George:Okay, it's the small steps that you're going to make. The first thing is you need to decide do I want the change, yes or no? Do you want the change yes or no? Great, yeah. Lot of overweight people who say, yeah, they want to lose weight. Yeah, yeah, they don't make a change, they don't decide. Yeah, I want to, but they don't make any commitments to it. Okay, stop eating that much. All right, skip a meal. It's hard. Yes, everything's hard. Everything is hard, especially at the beginning. Everything's hard.
George:I used to do this myself. I would always and to a degree sometimes, do still always prioritize work over my own health, and what I mean by that is not exercising. I was like, no, I am going to get more out of coming to the office. In that one hour I could be at the gym. I'm going to get more out of that than what I am working out. So I'm going to come to the office and then, before I know it, it's the whole week I haven't worked out. It's the whole month, it's half a year, it's a full year that I haven't done any exercise whatsoever. Now I block out in my calendar as one of my most important meetings me going to the gym, whether it's first thing in the morning, whether it's during the work day, whatever it is. And I go and I feel significantly better now, having done it for consistently for almost a year, working at at least three times a week, lifting heavy weights, pushing myself. I feel better, I look better, I'm mentally better as well, and it's now just a way of life for me and I'm getting the results. I'm pushing towards those results that I want.
George:Now. Will I have it in three months? Not necessarily. I spoke to my trainer the other day and I actually asked him this question. I said we've been training now for nine months, consistently. I said would you expect me to have been further advanced?
George:He goes. What do you mean? Six-pack? He goes. If you want a six-pack in three months, I'll get you a six-pack in three months, he goes. I'll get you a six-pack in three months, he goes. I can do that, no worries. Get it for you in two, he goes. But you can't do anything else, he goes. You've just got to live and breathe. Training, training and eating. That's it. That's all you've got to do. And he goes. I'll get it for you, he goes.
George:The problem with that is you have kids around looking like that can commit themselves to that level of training for that level of time. Because you don't have that, you go. So it really comes down to how much are you willing to commit to get to those results in a certain amount of time? Uh, and yeah, that that was great to have that conversation with him, because I go. Yeah, you're totally right.
George:Okay, even though I am still training a lot and and working a lot, it hasn't been my number one priority. Like I said, I've busy at work. That's been my priority. Even though I've been fitting in the training, I've been eating pretty good. Best times are I'll have ice cream, yeah, absolutely. But I needed to make that commitment.
George:And then again, when I first started training, I wasn't training three days a week, I was training once. I was doing PT once a week and then I was supposed to go in on my own. Like he's scheduled two other sessions with me during the week and he goes cool, we're going to train Wednesday together and then Monday, friday, you're training on yourself. Yes, sweet, didn't go, didn't go. But I kept going to my one sessions. I'm like you know what? I would go every now and then, but I was always prioritizing work. I, I would go every now and then, but I was always prioritizing work. I said you know what? Fuck it, I'm going to pay you. I need to go three times a week, it's done. I said, cool, maybe I'll do five times a week, it's going to cost me two grand a month, whatever.
George:I commit. What is it going to be? What is it that you want to achieve? Now? I've done that to go with him because, training consistently, I personally needed that person to go to keep me accountable. So, no, I'm here at six, I'm here at seven, you're here at seven. Go lift this much like today. I was doing some not squats, some whatever leg work, and I did a personal best 110 kilos, like cool. Because we want to get that up to 120 in the next two, three months. Okay, cool, let's do it. It was hard, it wasn't easy. My hands, I got calluses, I was physically exhausted. It was very difficult for me.
George:Whenever you're going to achieve growth or have any level of success or anything in your life, there is going to be a level of discomfort or pain Just the nature of life. Like, as we said last episode, did you expect this? I wanted to have a Ferrari, I want to have a Lambo, I want to have the multimillion-dollar home with the chopper pad, with the super yacht. Did you think that was going to be easy? Think about what you want in your life. Do you expect it to be easy? Of course not. It's going to be hard. Do the reps Make the decision? Do the reps Make the decision?
Robby:I think that's what it comes down to. What about the people who you know? There's a bunch of people like do you ever get? Do you have any mates who say like, oh, I don't want, I don't need a million dollars? Do you know what I mean? And they're like, it's like they've convinced themselves that it is not going to either. Not going, they don't want it, but it's almost like they've convinced themselves that it is not going to either. Not going, they don't want it, but it's almost like they've convinced themselves that it's not going to be worth going through what they need to go through together, not specifically.
George:No one specifically said those words in that way.
Robby:I'm sure you've heard someone say it.
George:Oh, without a doubt. Yeah, yeah, without a doubt. Like, money doesn't make you happy money's the root of all evil.
Robby:Yeah, yeah yeah, those are limiting beliefs. Yeah, and it's like no, why do you need that much money?
George:Yeah, you don't need that. There's no reason for you to have that much money. I've definitely been around people and families.
Robby:And I see you as like oh, that's greedy, yeah, what's? Yeah, how much money circulates through this business feeds families. Yeah, how many dreams do we make come true?
George:wow how many other people that help. That's a good way to look at it, isn't?
Robby:it. Yeah, it's a whole different perspective, yeah how many? People you support you've got a cleaner? Yeah, that cleaner needs to eat, yeah. I don't have any food. I don't have any food.
George:I don't clean the toilets here.
Robby:But there's nothing wrong with that Absolutely. It's a bad use of my time. But how does that person change their mind around that? You know what I mean.
George:Do you think some people are stuck in their ways? Yes, fucking O, I think there would be. I think there's a lot of people that have checked out early in the game.
Robby:But those people don't. Most of them don't know they've checked out. Some do, but most don't.
George:I don't think they'll ever admit it, because it's a difficult conversation to have with themselves.
Robby:It's a difficult admission, man. Most conversations with yourself are difficult, yeah, but it's also a difficult mission. You don't know how to say how are you Good yourself? Most conversations you're having with yourself are generally difficult conversations.
George:Yeah, do you know what I mean? Do you think you've checked out? Ask yourself that question right now. Do you think you've checked out? Are you going through the same nine to five? Are you not thinking about things differently, how you can explore opportunities, like even now? I ran an idea past you the other day about that website we were talking about. I won't give anything away because it's protected IP, patented, yeah, patented. But that came through a few things. It came through how I've experienced things in my own construction business, but also now with the consulting. Well, what other things can I add as an added bonus, as an offer, as things that will help builders and like this? This is lacking in our space. We should do something like that. And you're like yeah, I can do that for you, no worries, I don't know where I was going with that conversation now, but it's that you haven't checked out.
Robby:Oh yeah, so you could have been running that-day.
George:I could have just been doing my construction business.
Robby:Yeah, you'd be like this is all. This is all, this is all.
George:And you know what I will do and still could do very well, just from my construction business. But I've now gone out there and said, no, that's not enough. I need to make sure that no other builder experiences what I experienced during COVID, and I'm going to help every single one of them establish themselves as a an amazing builder that makes a lot of money. That's what my next level for me was, and, as a result of that, this idea that I came up with, uh, and I mentioned to you and you're like yep, let's do it, I can do that for you, no worries. And then on top of that, well, what's the next thing? What's the next thing? What's the next thing that people might look next thing?
George:Now people might look at me and I've often been asked this like how do you do so much in your day? This podcast, yeah, how do you do it? How do you do so much in your day? Just don't fuck around. And I commit, I make the decision. You think I got podcast remorse after I walk out of here? Fuck, shouldn't have done that episode Too busy Damn.
George:You know what I mean. Over the next two weeks, I'm working four days. The next two weeks, I'm working four days Three and a half, if you exclude this podcast as work. Do you know what I mean? In the next two weeks? Fucking getting shit done, still making the decision. I'm playing a bigger game. That's all it comes down to, and people just don't play that bigger game. They're comfortable, they're too comfortable man.
George:We talked about what does comfortable mean on a podcast as well. They're just sitting there and what does it mean? They've made the decision. I'm comfortable. I've got my nine to five. I've got a house that's half paid off. I've got this, I've got the nicest, car I've got a holiday once a year.
Robby:Here's another thing. See, I don't have an issue with if you go nine to five and you love what you do and you're generally a happy person and you have a level of awareness and you understand and you know what I mean and that's what you want to do good on, you Do it, I know you don't have to not everyone has to do.
George:Not everyone has to make a billion dollars a year and have a chopper and have all that.
Robby:Yeah, not everyone has to do what I want to do. That's right. You don't have to do that.
George:But if you're unhappy with where you are, then that's a different conversation.
Robby:Yeah, don't sit there doing that. What did someone said to me the other day? And it was like you know what I hate? I fucking hate this Happy Friday.
George:Oh, yeah, DJ IF Dude.
Robby:I fucking hate that so much. Happy Friday, what? What was wrong with the last four days? Yeah, like, yeah. What's wrong with Tuesday, thursday, shit, yeah, like. Why is Happy Friday? So do you hate Hump Day? Yeah, monday-itis, monday-itis is fucked. Hump day, hump day is just a reference. It's not good or bad. Yeah, you know what I mean, but it's the middle of the week.
George:We're just over the hump, we're coming into this. It's too stupid, yeah. Without a doubt, people checking out, think for yourself.
George:Yeah, they're waiting, they're hanging, and Gary Vee says this a lot. If you look at your life, you're hanging for the weekend. You cannot wake to Saturday to have a day off. Then have a look at what you're doing in your life. Do you need to make a change? Because you should be pumped. Like Dana White says, sunday night is like the best night of the week because I can't wait to get to work the next day, because let me out, I'm a greyhound. I've got to go.
Robby:Yeah, I think he's a unique character.
George:Yeah, without a doubt. But a lot of those high-level achievers are. They are 100%. They're doing shit completely different to everyone else, to everyone else. You know like. This is what I genuinely believe. This too when, not if, but when. When I make it to the level that I know I will do, you know how many people I'm going to help? Do you know how many people are going to be positively affected by me? My massive success is inevitable. It's huge. It's huge, as you said, the families you're going to help, the people you're going to help the things that are going to come to life. That's fucking amazing. It's like, uh, adrian portelli all right, look at what he does. He's made, he's made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars for himself. Look at how many people he's helped. Fucking good on him. I celebrate that shit, but look at how many people he's helped. He gives away a house a week or whatever it is. Yeah, but he he gives it away. He also makes but think about the life. Imagine that You're making millions and changing people's lives.
Robby:Imagine you want a house from him. Cool concept, Very people's lives. Imagine you want a house from him. Cool concept, Very cool concept. Yeah, great concept. Dude, he just that is to me. What he's done is very smart. I don't know if he saw it. Do you reckon he made it up?
George:Which the concept? Yeah, I think he had the problem and then came across a solution. So you reckon it was made in Australia.
Robby:His concept it is the lottery, that's what it is.
George:Yeah, his concept it is the lottery, that's what it is yeah, but the way he's gone around it is it's private, it's a private lottery, that's right, but it's also you gotta buy a membership, so you can't. He can't just give the thing away. People buy a membership. Sorry, he can't. People can't win it. People buy a membership and then he selects a lucky winner or a lucky person to receive the prize.
Robby:It's not even a membership is one concept. You can just buy tickets. You can yeah.
George:Yeah, you can as well, but it's.
Robby:Because there's lots of people doing it now. Yeah, he's doing it at the highest level, like no one. Very few people are giving away houses, some people are giving away cars, et cetera, but what it is, it's the concept of taking the lottery model and privatizing it yeah, without a doubt yeah, all I'm saying is do you think he it was his own idea, or do you think because? It's gotta be someone have you ever gone overseas and seen something and then said we don't fucking have that yeah my brother-in-law did that a long time ago Boost Juice.
George:he saw a juice company overseas, he goes this would be fucking massive in Australia and then, like two years later, janine Ellis started Boost Juice and killed it. Yeah, and he always says it. He's like oh, I fucking came up with that idea. First I said oi.
Robby:Don't sell your idea. You're a dud. What are you going to do with that money you earned by thinking about it?
George:Exactly right, I said you didn't do it. Don't sit here and say, oh, I claimed it, no, you didn't do anything. You've you've got to fucking put the action in. I don't want to hear the story of I came up with that idea, yeah cool, I came up with the idea of Google. You know what I mean? Like it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything at all. You've got to put that idea into action.
Robby:Helping people.
George:Yeah, I genuinely believe I will help a lot and a lot of people you will have to.
Robby:It's not even a choice. Yeah, I genuinely believe I will help a lot and a lot of people. You will have to yeah, it's not even a choice. Yeah, no, no, not in the sense of you have to be a good person. You will, by default by default, yeah end up helping people, even if you're a dick about it, you will end up helping people. Do you know what I mean? You're going to give more jobs, you. You know what I mean.
George:Yeah, and the people that stuck it out with me and did everything with me. Look after them too. Everyone will benefit as a result of being connected with me, especially if you've helped me get to where I wanted to go.
Robby:You ride the bus, you fly in the jet? Yeah, that's it absolutely. So that question when was the last time you changed your mind about something? And if you can't think of it at all at all, you're probably running on autopilot, because it probably means you haven't changed your mind have you answered that question yet? Yeah, I feel like I have changed. Like when people see me now, like, for example, if I see someone who I haven't seen since like my mid-20s or something, they're generally like what happened to you, man? You've changed, yeah.
George:I hope so.
Robby:Yeah, fucking hope so. So I think the other end they're like when your friends say to you you've changed, they just don't know how to say you've grown. And I was like that's it. That's cool, chris Williamson. But yeah, I can't think of the most recent thing, but if you can't think of anything at all, or you can't think of anything within recent time because I'm pretty sure if I think of that I'll get something- yeah, we're limited with our time now, so I don't want to spend five minutes in silence.
George:Everything, yeah.
Robby:But there's like even you know those people who have never changed what they eat. You know you can figure out what you eat Fire from sauteed chicken, Mrs Wong's. But you know, yeah, Can't go wrong Shout out to you know, those people who don't change anything in their life.
George:Yeah, creatures of habit. Yeah.
Robby:You've got to think about this next time you go down to Glenders. But it's like that's a level of awareness, yeah.
George:I've got a family member that's like that. I have a family that literally went overseas for a holiday, came back two days later because it was too much of a change.
Robby:Oh what.
George:That anxiety, just like no, I can't do this, I'm out, better come back home. Came back home. But also you look at everything day-to-day life as well. It's like very regiment, yeah, same thing. This, this, this, this, this this, do something different. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't fucking mess with the regiment.
Robby:Look, there is power. There is power behind habit. But also, if you just do the same thing you've been doing the whole time, you need the same result.
George:You've got yeah, yeah and that's what, and it's a perfect example of someone who's really smart, has great ideas, really driven, couldn't defeat their mind. Yeah, yeah, couldn't get out of their own way. Yeah, couldn't get out of their own way. That's a shame. You know you'll always, guys, one of the most powerful things you can do these days. You don't have to be the best. This is where I'm going to win and where you're going to win. You don't need to be the smartest, you don't need to be the most creative. You don't need to be that person that takes shit to the next level. You don't need to be the next Steve Jobs, but you do just need to be consistent and you do need to work hard. Just work 10% harder than everyone else and you've won. Because people are not willing to do that extra little bit of work. They suck, they do. It's the fucking biggest advantage you have over everyone.
Robby:Yeah, it's your competition, it's the biggest.
George:Just be a little bit savage. Be a little bit savage and you've won. You'll clock the game. You know what I mean. You will win. Just be a little bit persistent, a little bit harder working than that next person. Do the 1 a 1am sessions where you got to work until the more early morning. Submit that project, do that task and you will win.
Robby:There is, um you probably thought of something throughout this whole podcast like something where you're like fuck, you know what I do have consistently done the same thing in this particular area and it might not be serving you anymore. It might even be the way you train. It might be a positive thing that you need to make better. Do you know what I mean? You're like yeah, I've been going to the gym but still got a gut.
George:Oh, you know what I mean. It's so funny. You mentioned that there's this guy at the gym that I see every single morning. Hasn't changed in the last two years. Is he ripped? No, he's fat, he's there though 6 am every morning.
Robby:Yeah, credit to all the. You know what I laughed then. But in all honesty, like I take my hat off to people fat people in the gym I think you know what Great great.
George:When I say fat, I don't mean he's obese, he's like skinny fat. Yeah, absolutely Like he hasn't changed at all, which to me says okay, you may be strong, like physically strong, because you do build strength when you do go to the gym. Is he strong? I don't really watch him train, I just see him.
Robby:Yeah, you walk by the guy you notice in the gym, like this guy's heels.
George:But yeah, what I noticed was okay to me, that's diet, like he's just eating shit, he's not eating properly and that's why he's not getting the results outside of the gym because he's doing something outside of it. But yeah, changed that one thing Ever since I started training with my personal trainer now? I used to go to the gym when I was in my early 20s, consistently like five days a week. I was me and my mates and we're one of my good mates we're just obsessed. That's all we did. We'd work, gym, work, gym, and we were at night, yeah, uh yeah, mainly at night, like straight after work, yeah, so we used to do that all the time and mid-20s I was probably in the best shape I've ever been. And he, what's going on with that? Oh, I was training a certain way, lifting a certain way, and this last year that I've been training with my new pt, he's like dude, don't, don't do that, don't do this. He goes like this, lift it like this changed everything oh uh, technique, technique.
Robby:Yeah.
George:Yeah, I thought I was lifting, like I'm rounding my shoulders trying to get the weight up. Because, no, no, no, you're actually doing worse. Because, yeah, you're lifting it up, but you're using the wrong muscle muscles all right, you're making your shoulders bigger, not your chest.
George:He goes, put your arms down, shoulders back, like this, and he goes. And he showed me like this, like fuck, now my chest is burning, like I can really feel it. Well, my legs or he goes, your knees buckle, don't you gotta stick your knees out? Like he's showing me these little techniques. And as a result of that, I'm physically stronger than I've ever been, because now the muscles I'm training are actually getting trained.
Robby:So you're doing the same thing, you're just doing it in a slightly different way.
George:In a slightly different way and I'm getting a better result.
Robby:Why did you not have a PT in your 20s?
George:Well, I never thought, I needed it, never thought you needed it?
Robby:Yeah, I never thought.
George:And I didn't know what I didn't know. Did you change your mind about it? I did, and there was a guy back then at the gym who was completely ripped Like he was a bodybuilder, a natural bodybuilder. So he was actually quite large and had I had the foresight I do today, I would have shook his hand and said, oi, let's go, yeah, but also show me, oh, yeah, not to necessarily be that big. But I did the same thing now when I joined the gym here, because, again, I'm trained. I've gone down that path. I looked at all the PTs on the board. I looked at them. I go no, no, you're fat. No, no. No, no, you're a girl. No, no. Well, why would I want a woman trainer to train me? Think about it. It's fucking stupidity. Yeah, okay, you might know shit, you're not a man, I'm a man. A man's going to know the male anatomy of the body, everything, better than what she would in my opinion, tuck your legs in like that.
George:Do you know what I mean?
Robby:I'm sure they might be fantastic. I 100% agree with you that would upset a lot of people.
George:I don't give a shit yeah, again, whatever, you can think what you want. But you know what else I did. I said there was there's pts in that gym that are not fucking in great shape. There's pts in the gym they're not great shape. Like why would I call you, not saying when I say you're fat, you're not the body type that I want? Yeah, and then I found someone, and not to say the bodybuilder guy from when I was in the early 20s. Not that I wanted that body shape, no. But do you know what it shows he?
George:knows shit that I don't know and that he can achieve in me. If I say, oi, I don't want this, but I want that he goes cool, I know what to do.
Robby:Absolutely. I've got results, I've got a track record.
George:So I went on my PT, I spoke to him. He was a guy from New. Zealand. I went on his Instagram page. I saw it.
Robby:I go mate this guy's massive yeah, but there's nothing wrong with that dude.
Robby:I've got the best person in that space to help me because I didn't know my shit. If you're going to hire a business coach and you're going to make 500 grand a year, your aim is to make 500 grand a year. Do you want the guy who's made a million or do you want the guy who's made 100 million? Do you want the guy who's made 100 million every time? Because you're like, this guy knows more. Clearly, this is the game I'm playing. This is the exact same concept. This is the game I'm playing. I don't necessarily want to be a bodybuilder, but I'm going to go.
George:You haven't gone through the level of experience that we have as far as training, as far as growth, as far as business development. You haven't done that. So I'm telling you as a cheat code. As a cheat code, go and seek the people who have the knowledge that you need to make the changes in your life, because they will expedite it, You're learning Effectively. That's what a mentor is. A mentor is someone that has experienced things that you haven't. That will help you get to where you need to be.
Robby:You know what else is really big.
George:A coach will show you how to do it. The mentor is the one that gives you advice on how to get there.
Robby:That's done it. Huh, the mentor is the one that's done it. Yeah. I think changing who you spend time with.
George:I've seen change in that too.
Robby:It's inevitable. Osmosis is real. It's inevitable. If you spend time with people or you may spend time at a gym, you can go to the gym by default. You're like I want to spend time with them by default, and that, I think, is a catalyst for change.
George:Yeah, imagine that. Imagine every single one of your friends went to the gym All together, yeah, trained together. All five of them, yeah, and you're the sixth person.
Robby:What did you guys do today? We were just at the gym.
George:Why aren't you coming?
Robby:you fat fuck. Yeah, I'm at Macca's. Yeah, I'm at Macca finish. It's a very powerful concept, man, Very, very powerful concept. But that question you know, when was the last time you changed your mind about something Like look back at anything, not just the things that matter anything. When did you better your training? You might be doing well, Make it better. Do you eat a food you don't eat now?
George:Do you know what another problem people find? I reckon that they it's like oh, I'm not motivated to all right. Motivation, I think, is a killer for them to actually get up and do shit. Fuck your motivation, all right, you shouldn't always be motivated. You think people are motivated every single day to have an ice bath. You think I'm motivated at 6 am or 5 am to go to at the gym. You think I'm motivated to come and have difficult conversations at the office with clients, with subcontractors? No, do you know what gets you to achieve these things? Discipline. Discipline will get you there. The motivation will be a byproduct of it when you start seeing results and go oh okay.
Robby:Yeah, but I also think people need to be connected to an end result.
George:Yeah, without a doubt. What's your goal? What are you trying to achieve? You've got to reverse engineer it to a degree, absolutely.
Robby:And if you're not motivated, what are you trying to achieve If you've got no motivation, because you're not going to be motivated every day?
George:No, that's what I mean it's a resource you can only tap into every now and then. It's not constant. It's like a shower, yeah.
Robby:You can't live in the shower, that's right. You can have a shower every morning, but you can't live in it. Yeah, but I think you need to be connected to the end result and I think if you've got zero motivation, like none at all, you don't know, you're lacking awareness, you don't know what you like. There's nothing. Something pumps everyone up, dude. There's something that everyone can talk about like they're fucking a little kid yeah, everyone. There's something where they're like that's fucking sick man and all of a sudden, where'd this energy come from? You know what I mean, even if you're a very reserved person. I'm not a very loud person. I don't go into public and shout out loud. I'm not a loud person. But when I'm around those small circles and I'm talking about what I like, it changes, and I think for most people that's the case too.
Robby:And if that's not you, then you don't know what you like. Work it out, work it out Very cool, work it out Easy and you're not pumped after that shit. You are not pumped right now.
George:If you're not doing push-ups listening to this podcast, then you. What is going on in your life?
Robby:there is. There's actually a book called Motivation Manifesto by Brendan Machado. Do you know Brendan Machado? I reckon if you see him you'd know him what's he known for? One of the co-founders of Kajabi. Oh is it? He actually writes a lot of books too. No, I haven't.
George:He's a trainer. He's a trainer. Actually, that's his thing. He's a coach trainer high performance.
Robby:Who can you know him? I mean, you see, if you saw his face. Yeah, yeah, he wrote called Motivation Manifesto and it's a book that talks about different aspects of it and then asks you a bunch of questions at the end of every chapter and it's a good self-exploration, like you know, you learn some shit about yourself and what you like and what you don't, and I think that's step one. It's funny how we did that backwards. Actually, it talks about change and it talks about motivation.
George:Yeah, here's the thing with books. I find that 90% of people don't read. Do you reckon that's a fair assumption?
Robby:I reckon it's more.
George:You reckon more, don't read yeah.
Robby:Go to a fucking average room, you reckon one in 10. If you get 30 people in a room, you reckon three of them read regularly. I wouldn't think they do. You've got to remember as well. We ask these questions in rooms full of people trying to get better. That's right. So that's why we get a higher percentage. Yeah, we see a higher percentage. Most people are not.
George:It's too easy to get onto Netflix. Most people don't read Dude.
Robby:people don't even listen to podcasts. What the fuck's wrong with you?
George:Get better. Not the people listening to this podcast, though? Yeah, obviously, but maybe pass this podcast on to someone that's not listening to a podcast, and so oi, this is where you need to begin, right here.
Robby:You should listen to this Million Dollar.
George:Days. Why do you think we called it Million Dollar Days, guys? Like, think about it Million Dollar, like, think about it million-dollar days. We did that because it's A our journey on the way to doing it and we will do it. And with the day we do, I can't wait to come in here and go oi done it's fireworks on Bay Street. We just did it. We clocked it, no, but for us to play a bigger game too, we wanted to have that level of achievement and goal in place and we reverse engineering it, making decisions to get to that space.
George:But where I was getting at with books is not many people read and many of you, arguably, that are listening to this podcast don't read, or don't read enough and think about a book. This way, you've got a person who's achieved a remarkable level of success, put 30, 40 years worth of knowledge and experience in 300 pages, and you're so ignorant and arrogant that you're not going to pick up that book and say this is going to help me, especially if it's in a field that you want assistance in or you want to be better at. Just pick up a book, it's the best $30 you're going to fucking invest in your life and a book can change your life.
Robby:A book will change your life.
George:A book will change your life, as big or as small as it might be.
Robby:The only way a book doesn't change your life is you don't learn anything from it. Yeah, and learning, the definition of learning is the same. What is it? Same situation, different behavior. That's learning. Yeah. Because if you don't do it, it's the same situation. You do the same behavior. You haven't learned. Yeah.
Robby:Yeah, so all you need to do is take a concept that allows you to change your behavior in a particular circumstance. Yeah, hey, you can read a book and be like I'm never gonna fucking do any of that. Like I, that taught me that I don't like that, and that could be the lesson that could be the lesson yeah, I don't want to do business.
Robby:Do you know what I mean? That is the worst book I've ever read. I do not want to get involved in business at all. That's my lesson. Guess what? You just got some level of awareness that you've never had before. You know, I mean, you read a book. It teaches something you do want to do.
George:Oh my god, this is how I sell, it's how I market, this is how I understand myself or others, this is how I influence, this is how I do this and how I do that I did this cool thing the other day and it was a concept of doing an instagram story and saying to everyone I, I've got this, and some of you may have seen this on my page. You may not have. That's fine as well. I said I've got an offer. He goes this is what I got. It's available for the next five days to the first 10 people that call me. I put your message in below get in touch.
George:I saw the concept and this person was saying how, through this one small concept, they kept offering this over days and days and days got this, this one small concept. I kept offering this over days and days and days, got this product this many days, this many people. So you're creating scarcity, you're creating value, you're creating urgency. You need to contact me. You're watching this. You're going to get the reward. I did that and I actually made a sale of a $2,000 product.
George:How good, all it cost me was like. I posted that video five times different one each time.
Robby:Bit of courage, yeah.
George:But that one simple change that I had read somewhere maybe $2,000 in that one instance. Now, imagine I do that right now. Hey, I've got this, this, this call me. You got five days. Don't fuck around. After five days, this offer's gone. You won't get it back again. I've got this, this, this call me. You've got five days go. It's only available for 10 people. It's only available for 10 people. It's only available for five people. It's only available for three people. Right, and imagine I kept doing that and I kept getting offers every single day and giving it to people and say, yep, it's this much cash or card bang, but from that one thing, it was literally a 30 second video for five days straight. 30 second video. Okay, let's figure that out. Figure that out quickly for you what 30?
Robby:seconds?
George:no, no into 2000.
Robby:So so say, it's 2 minutes it's about 100 bucks a second, 80 bucks a second what I do point.
George:Sorry, how do I do that?
Robby:so 120 seconds. 2000 divided by 120. Yeah, 120 seconds. What's the outcome?
George:Divide 20 by how much?
Robby:So 2,000 divided by 120.
George:166. That's 66 cents A second. That wasn't very close.
Robby:No, do it the other way around 120 divided by 2,000. It's got to be 8. Dude, 83. I'm good at maths 0.06 really not good at maths.
George:Anyway, it's fucking a lot of money for the time spent. Do you know what I mean? Now imagine you compound that and you do it more and do more. I learned that from a book, from reading something a book, simple concept it more. I learned that from a book, from reading something A book, simple concept. It was actually online. It wasn't a book, but I read something, but I read it.
Robby:That's what I'm saying. Hey, should we share a book? Should we?
George:Oh, we mentioned this last episode, didn't we? Should we? Okay, you've never. Okay, good, never read a book where you start me, yeah well, where you're advising people. You've never read a book. How to win friends and influence fuck off. Yeah, was he yours too? Yeah, sick, sick, fuck. What are the odds? Yeah, there you go. Okay, fuck, you start there. All right, what are the odds? There you go. There, you go full circle, you go Full circle. How to Win Friends and Influence People Really good book, really good book. You know what I don't like it Didn't you? It's okay, look for me, as a first starting point, to get to read books. I think it's good because, ultimately, if you could yeah, it's an easy read, but imagine how you can connect better with people. That's a good start, especially if you want to make some change in your life, especially if you want to get some results in your life. It's got to be through connections with people. So if you can start influencing your behaviors to do that, great place to start.
Robby:Yeah, I think the you know I'm not going to talk about the book. Read it. Yeah, just start there.
George:Start with that one and if you have read it, that's cool, start somewhere else. Go to another book. Think and Grow Rich is another good book. Yeah, great book. I actually really liked it for money. I liked the Richest man of Babylon. Have you read the Richest man of Babylon?
Robby:A few people told me to read that I should have read it. Look it's good.
George:It's basic shit, but it tells it through a story, which is great.
Robby:I actually like books like that.
George:Yeah, it was actually really cool in that instance. It said it as a story.
Robby:They're easy to read. Yeah, that's what it was. There's characters and blah blah blah, but there's lessons in it.
George:And there was lessons in it, yeah.
Robby:It's like the 5 am Club.
George:Have you read the?
Robby:5 am.
George:There was another place like that.
Robby:I don't think it talks about waking up at 5 am in the book, oh, doesn't it? I can't remember. But it's a good read. There's some good lessons, yeah, and it's an easy read episode.
George:Get onto a book, start reading, get involved, educate yourself, become better, achieve more and you will reap the rewards. Simple as that, Perfect ending.

Robby:When was the last time you had a Mars bar?
George:Fucking off for a very long time. I probably prefer Snickers over Mars bar. You know what I see, but I don't need it. Now, like I look at it and go, no, it's not worth. I think calories. I just don't think I can eat that shit.
Robby:I think calories do, do you? Yeah, I think calories massively. If I'm trying to eat clean, I'm like calories.
George:It's all calories I love donuts, and I never eat donuts. I look at it and I'm like, ah, I couldn't eat it. Why. I just feel like I'm instantly going to get fat.
Robby:All the work I've done for six months.
George:All the work I've done for six months. The game is calories. It's probably worse to have a Snickers than what it would be that, but I just look at it. For some reason I just can't eat it Serious the game is calories man.
Robby:I know, you know, if you look at it and you're like, okay, cool, I will have less, you know what? I'll skip lunch today. I'm going to have nine donuts.
