00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,200
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep kid sheared podcast, home of people, politics

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,200
and popular culture.

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,920
I'm your host, Austin Creed.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,200
I want to welcome you to the show this morning.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:26,840
My friends, you know, the more the more hard work I do, the more I get into the social

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:34,720
media game, the more I deal with the sometimes unfortunate realities of life.

7
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:42,280
I have come into a realization that those before me have and they talk about it all

8
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,720
the time on the Internet.

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:51,760
But you don't fully grasp or appreciate it till you realize that you have to grind.

10
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,480
You got to grind if you're not out here trying to work, you're not out here trying to better

11
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,880
yourself and become the best version of yourself that you can.

12
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,920
There's someone else who will and they'll take your spot.

13
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,680
If you are not a competitive person, I do not understand how you function in today's

14
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,680
world.

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,680
I got to tell you the truth.

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,760
I don't know how you do it because at the end of the day, all you're doing is kind of

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:20,540
just floating around, taking what other people give you, which is scraps.

18
00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:24,080
Would you eat scraps off somebody's table if they handed it to you?

19
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,400
Well, I don't know.

20
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,420
I surely hope not.

21
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:32,000
But some of you guys out here who are not willing to grind, I mean, I was talking to

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
my cousin.

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
He's a great guy.

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,160
About a year ago, he was telling me how he didn't there was nothing he wanted to do.

25
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,680
He was just kind of long for the ride.

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,320
He's just drifting a little bit.

27
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,280
But now, now he's hungry.

28
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Now he's out here grinding with me.

29
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Now he's out here saying, hey, I'm hungry.

30
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,120
There's a lot to be got out here and I want my share.

31
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Now, I respect that.

32
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
I'll tell you that I respect it.

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,000
But it made me realize that everybody comes to this realization.

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Everybody comes to this.

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,440
Hey, I have to get out here and I have to be hungry because if I'm not hungry, someone

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,480
else is going to eat me for lunch.

37
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,300
Someone else is going to take what I want.

38
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:18,880
You don't even know what you want.

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,000
I don't even know what you're doing.

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,400
You have to decide what it is you want in life.

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Do you want to go to college?

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,920
Do you want to go to college?

43
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:28,920
You want to go in trade school?

44
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:30,720
Do you not want to go to trade school?

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,720
So let me tell you something.

46
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,600
If you want to go to trade school, there's a lot of competition going down the pipe for

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,600
you.

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,200
All the immigrants coming in the country.

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Oh, yeah.

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Oh, yeah.

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,760
They're going to go and sweep up those blue collar jobs real quick.

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:51,920
If you think I'm lying, just wait, you'll realize all often was right.

53
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,960
But you know what, my friends, I got to tell you the truth.

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,800
And truth is very disappointing most of the time.

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,560
And if you want to be out here and you want to become the best, you have to be willing

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,560
to make sacrifices.

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Because there are people out here who will make the sacrifice like me.

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,640
And if you're not willing to make that sacrifice, you're going to get left behind.

59
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:20,280
In the world of today, especially for the young guys, there's so many distractions.

60
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,280
For us young guys out here, there are so many different distractions.

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,960
It's oh, it's really disgusting.

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,680
You got the got O.F. got Instagram.

63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,200
You got all the popular social media outlets, even Twitch for God's sakes is coming out

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,200
here and saying, oh, yeah, we're going to allow quote, artistical nudity.

65
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,520
Oh, really?

66
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,120
So that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the demographics of Twitch is like

67
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,920
60 percent guys in the ages of 13 to 25.

68
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,560
But as all that has nothing to do with it at all.

69
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,320
You see, Twitch is a prime example of if you love video games, you like playing video games.

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Why are you not streaming?

71
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Well, because you think people won't like it.

72
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,120
You think, oh, well, Austin, you know, I'm not that good, bro.

73
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,800
So like, why would it even matter if I started streaming, bro?

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Like, what?

75
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,800
It doesn't matter.

76
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Oh, you're wrong.

77
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,800
What do you mean?

78
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,800
It doesn't matter.

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,360
Of course it matters.

80
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,600
Because guess what?

81
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,160
It's the marketplace is becoming only more saturated every day.

82
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,000
It's becoming less about being good at the game and being good as an entertainer.

83
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Of course, being good at the game helps me.

84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Don't get me wrong.

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,640
But just look at what happened to Twitch.

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,360
Twitch went from being a bastion of.

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,600
Gaming and having a good time with the bros to the hoes coming in there, ruining it, the

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:01,320
hoes coming in there and playing, you know, games, the hot tubbing and live streaming

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,000
a hot tub with their push up, bra and plastic surgery.

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,560
And they want to come out here and ruin it for us, gentlemen.

91
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,340
But then the day you can't complain.

92
00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:18,140
Because just as there's a producer, there's a consumer.

93
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:20,160
And that's when it comes down to having discipline.

94
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,160
You got a grind.

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,800
You know what I've been doing recently?

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360
I don't say this to brag to you.

97
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,520
I say this because I want people to truly decide whether they want to level up or they

98
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,980
want to stay the same.

99
00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:35,600
If you want to stay the same.

100
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,560
Keep doing what you're doing, because it clearly you're not going anymore, most likely.

101
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,960
But if you want to level up, you got to sacrifice the things holding you back.

102
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,880
One of the things that holds me back is my sexual drive for things that helped me back

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,880
for a long time.

104
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,840
I spent a lot of time trolling for booty and be out here trying to find a girlfriend.

105
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:05,720
I'm out here trying to do this and do that and only distracted me.

106
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,920
And I decided recently that not only was I not going to watch prawn, I wasn't going to

107
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,920
go out there and consume explicit content.

108
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:23,120
What I was going to do is every time I felt the desire to do that, I was going to do 15

109
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,240
push ups every time.

110
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,480
I'm getting almost I'm getting close to 100 push ups in almost a day.

111
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,800
And of course, it makes me feel sore.

112
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Of course, it's hard to wake up in the morning when I work out and do 100 push ups and I

113
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,360
get tired.

114
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,360
Of course I do.

115
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:47,400
But the end of the day, it's better because it helps me retrain myself.

116
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:53,840
It helps me turn that energy that would have caused me to slide backwards instead to be

117
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,280
better.

118
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:58,400
Now I get to help make my physique better.

119
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,680
I get to transmute that energy, not just try to snuff it out because you can't.

120
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760
In plain English, you can't snuff out your primal energy.

121
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:14,560
You can't snuff out your desire to be a human male.

122
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,560
You can't do it.

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,960
You know, I wish I could tell you that I have the secret pill that you can take or the secret

124
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,560
and it's all your problems, but it's just not true.

125
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,200
The end of the day, you have to decide what it is you want from your life.

126
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,520
I mean, even right now, as I'm recording this show, I'm walking.

127
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Why?

128
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,520
Because I love walking.

129
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Something I love to do.

130
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,240
I'm just walking around the neighborhood figuring that, you know what, I'd kill two birds with

131
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,240
one stone.

132
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,240
I'd share something that's been on my mind that I'm passionate about while getting in

133
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,720
some extra exercise because I love walking.

134
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,000
You know, if you love to run, God bless you, but I don't think that running is as beneficial

135
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720
in the long term as walking.

136
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:05,520
I mean, if you look at all the people, famous people, famous politicians, famous philosophers,

137
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:12,200
famous successful people who walk all the time, the list is rather extensive, quite

138
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,200
frankly.

139
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,320
So at the end of the day, you got to do what's best for you, though, but you have to be willing

140
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,560
to sacrifice to get there because if you're not willing to sacrifice, let me tell you,

141
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,120
there's someone out there who will.

142
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,120
And I'm one of them.

143
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,360
And if you're not willing to put in the hard work, well, then you're going to get mediocre

144
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,840
results and you can't get mad.

145
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000
You're getting mad about getting mediocre results.

146
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200
Then do something about it.

147
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Don't complain.

148
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,720
Don't cry and don't be like, boo hoo hoo, my life sucks.

149
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520
It's not fair.

150
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Guess what?

151
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,800
When you sow the seeds, you reap the appropriate harvest.

152
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,640
And if your harvest sucks, well, then your seeds were sucking too.

153
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,960
Just in case you weren't sure that I was actually walking, you probably hear the car just went

154
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,960
by me.

155
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,960
I don't lie.

156
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960
I'm not out here lying.

157
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,800
But my hands are freezing right now.

158
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,800
But guess what?

159
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,800
I'm still doing this show.

160
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Why?

161
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Because I'm doing it.

162
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Well, my friends, you know, I'm not just someone that hangs out at the house and does nothing

163
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,160
all day or just sits behind a computer.

164
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,600
I go and I talk to people.

165
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,720
I talk to people I know.

166
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,720
I talk to people that I haven't yet to meet that I meet in the middle of nowhere doing

167
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,320
my normal day thing.

168
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,520
But let me tell you, if you really want to grind, you might be saying, well, where do

169
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,520
I start, Austin?

170
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Well, let me tell you, here's what you should start with.

171
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,960
Number one, you need to decide who you want to become, because it's not enough just to

172
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,840
decide what you don't want.

173
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,240
You need to decide what it is you do want.

174
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,760
That's step one.

175
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,440
Step two, you need to develop a new philosophy to go along with this new decision that you've

176
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,240
made for your life.

177
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:08,600
Because if you decide to use the blueprints you've been using on this new building you're

178
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,360
trying to build, ain't gonna work.

179
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,360
That's dumb.

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,360
You can't do that.

181
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,520
That's not gonna make you look ridiculous.

182
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Next thing you got to do, step three, is you have to start reading books or listening to

183
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,360
books.

184
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,720
If you don't read, if you don't listen to audio books, you're leaving a lot of potential

185
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,400
knowledge on the table.

186
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,280
Now whether it's you read my book, Biblical Bachelor, and you want to adopt that lifestyle,

187
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,860
go right ahead if you want.

188
00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:38,680
But there are other ones as well.

189
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,280
You have the free agent lifestyle by coach Greg Adams.

190
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920
He's a great content creator in this space.

191
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:50,880
You can also look at stuff from Gary Vanderchuck, Crushing It, Crush It, fantastic book.

192
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,320
I'm going through it right now.

193
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,480
He talks about how you can make money doing anything online.

194
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Very smart.

195
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,240
If you want to get in the content creation game, that's where you should go.

196
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,880
But what it comes down to is you have to decide what you want to do.

197
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Because then once you've made that choice, you can then decide to do something about

198
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,840
it.

199
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,560
If you're just going to stand around complaining, guess what's going to happen?

200
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:15,560
Nothing.

201
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:16,560
You're going to get mad.

202
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:21,760
You're going to get depressed and you're going to be vengeful.

203
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,200
Do not do not be someone who complains about everything and does nothing.

204
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,200
That's called drifting.

205
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,840
That's what Napoleon Hill calls being a drifter.

206
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,840
Another book you should pick up.

207
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,160
Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill.

208
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,240
I listen to that almost every day.

209
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Why?

210
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Because it's a great reminder of how you are your own worst enemy, how it's not the little

211
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,880
guy with red horns and a pitchfork who comes at you.

212
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,680
But the most beautiful things that you might think are good for you are going to come out

213
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:55,080
here and ruin your whole life.

214
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,320
My friends, I want you to become better.

215
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,880
I see people driving to work right now.

216
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Standing on the street corner.

217
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,440
I see people driving to work right now.

218
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280
And what's shocking to me is a lot of them don't realize that they could be doing their

219
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,240
work and filming it for an audience and their audience could love it and they could double

220
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,440
dip the system, but they won't do it because they don't want to.

221
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,240
They don't know how.

222
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,000
I encourage you to get out there and grind.

223
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,080
Do something.

224
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,240
Don't just complain.

225
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Don't just be sad.

226
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Don't just sit around there complaining about how everybody else is getting everything that

227
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,440
you want, because guess what?

228
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,440
You can do that your whole life and go nowhere.

229
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,920
Or you can decide to pull up your bootstraps and say, I'm going to get out there.

230
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,600
I want to make a difference.

231
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000
The choice is yours.

232
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,440
There's plenty of room out here for more of you to come out here and grind, work hard

233
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,560
and do something very beneficial.

234
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:54,680
Do something that will change your life forever.

235
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:59,160
But my friends, if you're not willing to put in the work, you're not willing to sacrifice,

236
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,480
you're not willing to grind, you're not going to go anywhere.

237
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,560
And I want to see that I want to see you succeed.

238
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:10,700
I want to see you become the best version of yourself.

239
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,800
But I can't do it for you as much as I wish I could.

240
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,760
I can't.

241
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,160
You got to step out here.

242
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,520
You got to decide I'm not going to sit in my substandard existence anymore.

243
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,600
I'm not going to sit here and complain anymore.

244
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,600
I'm going to take action.

245
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,600
I'm going to make myself the best I can be.

246
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,600
And you're the only one I can do that.

247
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160
My friends, I hope I encourage you this morning.

248
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,360
I hope you got the good dose of medicine I'm trying to give you this morning.

249
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,760
Because at the end of the day, you're the only person that can really decide to better

250
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,600
your life or stay the same.

251
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Because you complain, you stay the same.

252
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,000
If you try to cultivate change, you'll try a new course for your life.

253
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,120
My friends, God bless you.

254
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,120
God bless your families.

255
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,120
God bless America.

256
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Have a great rest of your day.

257
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,920
Let's win.

258
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,920
Don't be a loser.

259
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,920
Don't complain.

260
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Be a winner and start succeeding.

261
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,960
And I look forward to seeing you out here, taking life by the horns.

262
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,800
All right, I'm out.

263
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,800
Have a great day.

264
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:32,800
Thanks guys.
