Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get sheared podcast.
I'm your host Austin created my friends.
I know it's been a minute.
I know it's been a little bit of time.
I'm not here to make excuses.
I'm here to erase the new year.
And you know what's interesting to me, my friends?
You know, the more I see content creators putting out cheesy content like the stuff on
TikTok where logic goes to die, in my opinion.
I don't know how people watch that, in all honesty.
Like I'm learning so much, my friends about what relationships are like right now.
Because I've just been in the game for short term flings for a long time.
I've never really wanted a long term relationship.
Because I moved around, I was in the military and went to college, started multiple different
jobs.
And so I've never had the chance to really do that outside of high school, which at that
point, I was a little bit of a goofy, a little bit of a lame, I wasn't in good shape.
I was kind of a twig boy.
Anybody who knows me in real life will tell you that or anybody who wants to be a little
creepy and look up my yearbook pictures and stuff like that or look at my Instagram and
look at old pictures of me, you'll see what I'm talking about.
My friends, it's the second of the year.
I got the flu of all things right now.
And I thought there was no better time to talk about what's going to come up on this
show in the future.
Number one, I want everybody listening to the show to know that I plan on giving you
more and more receipts as to what it's like in relationship, not just talking about the
down, not just talking about why it's evil and horrible and women are bad because at
the end of the day, that's easy content.
People anybody could do that.
What people can't do is give their anecdotal evidence if they're not in one, or they could
make it up and look like a fool when someone finds out the whole thing is a fraud.
My friends, some of the guys who got me into the space who started who influenced my thought
pattern from being a normie, you might call it blue pill like this, just like everybody
else, you know, what society teaches you in school and church and everything else to
the minds that I have now, not to imply that anybody who's blue pill is inferior.
They're not that it's have a different frame of mind and they have a different way of looking
at the world.
That being the case, they miss out on seeing what things really are because they're too
busy looking at what they want to be true and not what is actually in front of their
eyes.
And so that's what we're going to do this year is I'm going to tell you more.
I'm going to focus on this channel about the relationships we've been talking about.
That was the basis for the book Biblical Bachelor, which I plan to do an updated version of,
by the way, I plan on doing an updated version because my views have fundamentally changed.
I've just learned new things and as I learn new things, I want to give more valuable and
more updated information because that's what the show is.
I don't pretend to be like, in my opinion, CNN, Fox News, CBS, MSNBC, you know, these
these fronts for higher interests, corporate interests, big money, you name it, in my opinion,
I'm not like that.
I don't have big money.
I don't have an agent.
I don't have any of those things.
I'm just a guy with a microphone and who's always moving around.
If you look at my old videos, you'll notice that my background changes and I haven't been
able to put up a video on with the audio for a while because I've just been moving around
so much.
I haven't had a whole lot of time to really set up a studio without having to tear it all
down again, which means I'll probably start using my phone like, you know, the average
TikTok thoughts, in my opinion, but you know what's interesting to me, my friends, is
with every new year, people like to hype up, oh, I'm going to do this this year.
I'm going to do that.
They don't write it down.
They don't really hold themselves to a higher standard.
And that's what I'm going to do this year for you and for myself.
And my friends, if you have any goals this year, I recommend that you stick with them,
not for me, but for yourself, because at the end of the day, we get one life.
As far as I know, we get one life.
And so there's no need to be complaining about what you don't have if you can obtain
it.
Now, it's another thing if you can't, you know, there are some things that we can't change,
even with modern science, how much it's advanced, we can't do it.
Even though we might want to, we don't have that point yet.
Maybe we'll get to that point at some point in the future, but not right now.
And so you got to focus on what you can control with their new year resolution.
If you make them, I don't people would think sorry.
And let me cough it a little bit because I'm sick.
I'm going to try to mute it as much as possible, but you're going to have to bear with me on
this.
If you're going to focus on a goal, make sure that you actually achieve it.
Otherwise, you're going to subconsciously tell yourself that you can't do it or that
you could have done it when you were too lazy and that's only going to make you feel more
inferior than you already feel.
I know what it's like to feel like you should be farther along in your life.
Trust me, I know that I feel that every day of my life.
I look at people who've been in the business more than me when it comes to contracting.
I've looked at what it's like being, you know, dudes who started contact creation in 2018
and now they're getting the respect that they deserve because they've been doing it for
like seven years.
I wish I had that kind of fame and success, but I haven't put in the amount of time yet.
The show is getting like a year and a half years old at this point.
And I haven't been as consistent as I once was because the sorry.
Sorry, I apologize.
I don't like to apologize for anything, but sometimes they don't apologize that I'm sick
and do the show.
But my friends, I would encourage you on, I know it's not New Year's Day, but in this
first half of January, I recommend that you create some goals for yourself for the rest
of the year.
And your life will change whether you like it or not.
Let's just embrace that for two seconds.
I should embrace that because stuff happens that's outside of your control and you have
to be able to adapt.
That's one thing my girlfriend's not very good at.
And I'm talking to teacher is how to adjust to situation of that change because she's
younger than me.
And I have to take on that role, which is why a lot of older dudes and I'm not that
old.
I'm almost 25.
So I know by like, if you're all teenagers watching the show, you probably think I'm
an ancient old guy.
But you know, because I used to think that when I was in high school, I was like anybody
over the age of 21 was old as hell was a one of my as well been 40 in my eyes.
There was old people that should have their lives together by like the age they were 25.
And let me tell you, I don't have my life together by 25 because I've had multiple careers
already by the time I'm 25.
As a military, I was in fast food business.
I've been in the roofing business.
I've been where else have I been?
I've been in the contracting business.
I've been into the content creation business.
I've been in the author and writing business.
I've been all doing all kinds of cryptocurrency.
I've been all kinds of stuff.
And my friends, while I'm not some old guy in my old, I mean, someone who's already
age of like 40 to 50 to 60.
But I don't think people don't think of 40 is that old.
But you know, compared to me, it's old or the same way that somebody who's 10 would probably
think I'm ancient as hell because I'm 20, almost 25, 15 years, a long time to most people.
And I say that to say that guys who are older, people often take more seriously.
But I'm not here to tell you something that I don't know.
I'm here to tell you something that I'm actively learning.
And that's the only way that we're ever going to make this through.
And I encourage you to share your goals in the comment section.
I encourage you to say, hey, you know what, Austin, it's good to see you back.
It's, you know, if you want to hear my goals, I'm more than happy to talk about them.
Because some of my goals, you might seem a little bit lofty because I'm planning on selling
a million dollars in contracting this year, which is as a rookie, I want to be a rookie
the year.
And I know a lot of other people also want that status.
But guess what?
It's not easy.
It's hard.
But I'm here to tell you anything that's worth doing is hard.
And I'll tell you a little side story because you know what?
We're with him today.
Just me, you listening, having our own time.
Maybe you're in the car driving somewhere.
Maybe you're working at your desk.
Maybe you're just trying to escape from, you know, the tail end of the holidays.
Maybe you're depressed because it's all over.
I don't know what's going on with you.
But what I do know is I'll tell you a story.
I just got back from a trip over the Christmas to New Year's week where I was hanging out
with my family back in California.
And that's my girlfriend calling me.
Hold on.
No, no, no, no, I'm talking to the boys.
I'm not I'm not I'm not answering that call right now.
I got I got other things that I need to talk about right now.
I got to tell a story.
I'll call her back.
But my friends, the reason I bring this story up is because a lot of us, I can tell, feel
this way.
We were surrounded.
Even if we came from wealthy families, I went to the mall in San Diego and there was tons
of very expensive cars, very expensive people, drive walking around buying things for lofty
prices with beautiful women.
I thought to myself, why am I not here?
Why in the world do I not have the things that I should have?
And you know what?
I got mad.
I got jealous.
And I don't usually feel jealous, by the way.
I think jealousy is a chick thing because you're when you're envious of somebody, you're basically
telling yourself you can't get that unless you take it from them, which is the farthest
thing from the truth.
Now it's gonna be easy.
No, but it's going to take you pushing yourself past what you think is possible painfully
and sacrificially to get to this point that you want to be.
And I share that with you because I'm pushing myself taking all kinds of risks right now.
And I don't say that to give you back me on the back and say, go Austin, go.
No, I say that because you are not alone.
If you're trying to do the same thing, are doing the same thing or want to do the same
thing.
I want you to remember that you're not alone and you're in very good company.
A lot of us are like that.
We suffer in silence as men to the vast majority.
We grind and the women a lot of times want to stay at the finish line.
I was talking about my girlfriend talks to her mom every once in a while.
And I was I was around when she was talking to her mom and her mom was talking about how
all you, you know, you, you should have got with him.
And she said it in a joking way.
Don't you know, she said it in a way that was like, Oh, you know what?
Hold on.
I'll finish this later.
I had to call my girlfriend, she kept blowing up my phone.
It's funny guys.
And I think women will agree with me on this.
As much as like equality was kind of a test, I don't understand why I don't understand
how a lot of women can go from saying that they won't like, and this is not my girlfriend.
She hasn't said this exact phrase, but like they're strong independent women.
And then the first thing they do, they need a man and they need someone to fix something
for him or whatever.
Or they need to know how to pump gas in your car or whatever.
Like it's just funny.
Their survival skills are so bad.
They do really goofy things.
And it's really funny to watch.
Anyways.
Oh, yeah, I was talking about my trip to the mall in California.
You know, it's really understandable if you are so unhappy with where you are.
Maybe you're working a job you don't like.
Maybe you're not seeing the results you want to see your boss doesn't approve or doesn't
appreciate you putting in extra work.
Or you want to move up to the next level, but you get blocked because you're part of
the bureaucracy.
And as much as you want to go out on your own, you're afraid because you don't have a safety
net like me.
I have no safety net.
I'm flying by the seat of my pants.
I get paid on commission.
So when I'm sick right now, I ain't got no PTO.
I don't have sick leave.
I don't have any of these things.
So I was sick like this.
Guess what?
I'm losing money.
I could have been out trying to get to sell jobs today, but guess what?
I have a hundred and forty degree fever and I'm coughing up along.
I can't go.
And I don't say that to why in sound weak.
I tell you that because you have to decide what you want.
There's the safe route and then there's the free fall route.
And when you're going to free fall route, you stand a lot more to lose, but you also
stand more to gain versus in the side of comfort and more security.
You have that safety net, but with that safety net comes a glass ceiling that takes you longer
and longer to get through.
And women will talk about how it's only them.
If I could buy it.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, it most certainly is not.
All you gotta do is look at who hires whom and where and why and H1B visas.
Oh, don't get me started on that.
Oh, don't get me started on the whole thing of mostly Indian and Chinese people are getting
moved over here by tech companies and taking jobs that, you know, I've got a degree for
my friends got degrees for and they just are taking a lot of jobs not because they're bad
people, but because the ruling class, the tech pirates, as I like to call them, the tech
pirates want more obsequious, easy labor, cheaper labor at that.
You're all talking to my old man.
And he is more in the tech world than I am right now.
And he told me that AI is a huge factor down to taking a lot of entry level jobs.
And I said, yeah, yeah, I could see that considering that experts and I hate the word experts,
but people have been talking about this since, you know, Chot GPT came relevant and stuff
like that.
There are a lot of entry level jobs and eventually higher up higher up jobs.
I got to get taken by AI because they don't need time off.
They don't need to be trained.
They don't need to do any of that stuff.
They're just going to do their job.
But they were programmed to do.
And my dad told me, he said, Hey, you know what, it doesn't really affect me because
he's been in the game for years, so it doesn't really affect him as much as it affects someone
who's just out of college or a couple of years out of college.
That's going to cripple you because now you're competing with completely unrealistic standards.
They could spend a couple million dollars on AI instead of spending a couple million
dollars on payroll, health insurance, maternity leave, paternity leave, you know, health care,
all this stuff.
They could save money on that and they are.
I don't blame them for that.
They're not evil.
They were trying to make money.
The problem is their money affects everybody else's money.
And that's the problem.
I don't say that to make you hate anybody.
I say that because at the end of the day, we're all going back to what is it that you
want?
Do you want to start your own company?
Do you want to just play with a safer route, which I'm nothing against, by the way.
I hate it when guys go on the Internet and they're like, I'm an entrepreneur.
And if you're not an entrepreneur, you're not doing jack and you suck.
And I say, no, how can you say a thing like that?
Or you're stupid or you're, you know, dumb or whatever.
I think that's completely wrong, completely wrong.
I think that different people have different mindsets and different desires, especially
when you have a family.
You are going to go more safer route because you thought just you got loses if you lose
and you won't lose forever, but you have farther to fall than a guy who's single.
And a lot of these guys who are entrepreneurs, you know, like me, were single or at the very
least were not married and don't have kids.
And that changes the game.
And so the reason I bring all these examples up is to how back to the principle of the
show, which is what are you wanting to do with this new year?
What are you trying to achieve?
What are you trying to do?
And if the answer is you don't know, then you got to fix that now because you should
have been thinking about it before, but there's no better time than now because the best time
was yesterday.
But the second best time is now.
So you should write something down that you want to achieve because of that way, you're
less likely to just hit a target that you're not measured.
It's like having a dartboard somewhere on the wall.
You don't know where you don't know how big you don't know anything other than it's somewhere
on the wall that you're facing.
And you're assuming that at which point you're going to throw the dart and you have no idea
where you're aiming kind of just going for it.
And that's not do I even need to tell you how low the percentage is that you hit in that
goal?
Probably don't because a lot of you guys are very smart and you don't need me to spell
it out for you.
When the world turmoil or politics is only going to get worse, making no mistake about
it with the Muslim.
Oh, yes, did I say Muslim?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I meant the attacks in New Orleans.
You know, nobody knows who did it.
We want to say it's terrorism.
We don't want to say that it was a Muslim.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, we can't say that because then we might be code as long as big.
Yeah, I guess what?
I don't care.
I don't want to say it the way it is.
And if you don't like it, go find somebody else's show who will sit there and say and
massage the facts and say, oh, well, we don't know who did it, but you know, it wasn't Muslim.
It wasn't his fault.
It was the gun.
It was the truck.
No brain like the sheep that they are and the wolf who are sitting back and they're being
like, good, good, we need to slit their throats in my estimation.
But of course, you know, I'm just a paranoid, apparently right winger, even though I'm a
centrist, but you know what, that's okay.
That's okay.
I bring all these different things up, my friends, to give you a thought.
And I thought could be anything from what you want to do to what you don't want to do
to anything.
And it's up to you to decide what you want, how you're going to get it, and what you're
going to do next after because there's a quote from Tangled, one of my favorite Disney movies,
which yes, I still watch Disney from time to time.
And Rapunzel is talking to Flynn Rider, the main guy who was voiced by Zachary Levi.
And she says, you know, I've been dreaming of this moment my whole life.
And now that it's about to happen, I'm a little scared.
And he says, why?
Why are you scared?
And she says, well, because I don't know if it's going to live up to my expectations.
And even if it does, what am I going to do after that?
And he pauses.
And Flynn Rider, the guy says, well, I guess that's the good part.
You get to find a new dream.
And my friends, that's what every new year is.
It's an ability for you to define what goal you didn't hit last year, the ones you did,
and then move forward and say, do I want to rehash these goals?
Do I want to continue doing the same ones, different ones?
And that's up to you to decide.
My friends, you take care of yourselves.
I got to go and lose my voice because let's start coughing like crazy.
Take care of yourselves.
I'm out of here.
Peace.
