Chapter 1: What is Ross Mandell's current purpose and motivation?
How you feel really doesn't really matter when you have purpose. What's your because, man? What's that purpose for you today? You know what? It's something that's natural for me. I love to teach, to educate, to help.
One of the things that I truly, truly adore Ross Mandel about
is the word accountability. If I don't do a transaction that day, I don't make any money. The firm doesn't make any money.
I love people that talk about mindset a lot, and yes, you do need a mindset, but mindset's just the first piece. It's the action, it's the follow through and execution that matter the most.
A lot of people, you know, they get the mindset, they're so worried about executing perfectly that they never get off first base. Just jump in the fucking pool. Splash around. You'll figure it out. It'll come to you. But in the meantime, don't miss a day. You can't wait till you get something perfect. You got to get in the game. You'll take a few lumps. You'll get hit. You'll make a few mistakes.
Guess what? That's how you learn for real.

Chapter 2: How did Ross Mandell's early life shape his career?
And we're looking to, just so you know, produce it in the Philippines. Okay. And there's a whole variety of good reasons for that, which I don't want to take up the time, but it's a very exciting thing to be in this industry and this business. I'm very determined to build a media company, sort of like Mick Unplugged. Just killing it, bro, right?
We spoke about some good things prior to the broadcast. And I'm like so proud of you, man.
Dude, like following in the things that you've done, man. Like I totally believe in mentorship, whether it's virtual, whether it's through learning and reading, whether it's through research. Like mentorship is so powerful. But here's the key. And I want to talk to you about this too. Having mentors is awesome.
But sometimes you have to, or not sometimes, all the time you have to take the action, right? Ross could give me the most amazing advice ever. If I don't put action behind it, it doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't mean anything. And so one of the things that I truly, truly adore Ross Mandel about is the word accountability, right? Like going back, I took a bunch of notes, right? The accountability.
Hey, if you tell me I can be a millionaire by making 300 calls, I'm going to do 400 just to make sure. That's accountability. Correct. When you talk about, hey, I don't know anyone in New York City that's not a drug addict. I need help. Will you be there for me? That's accountability. That's action. You talk about the coursework that you're doing with Bradley and Lightspeed.
Ross doesn't have to do that. That's accountability, right? And now your cellmate, the blind grief. That's all accountability and action. How important to Ross Mandel, because that's what I picked up following you and your story in the research is accountability and action. How important has that been for your journey, brother?
I am, like you said, you asked me how I feel and I can't even answer you really because I haven't thought about it. I'm too busy doing. I'm not so busy feeling. You know, Andrew Tate talks about these things, and he's a very controversial character, but I dig him. I dig the Tate brothers. I want to say it publicly.
You know, they're going through a lot of shit with the bullshit legal stuff that they're being brought into because they made a lot of money. He's very brash. He's very outspoken. But a lot of the things he says, I agree. Being a man means being accountable. It means being accountable. You want to be successful, you better take action. I can't stand negative people. I can't have it in my life.
You know, they even tell you, you know, a younger man is going to a cancer journey and he's going to all these different doctors and he's getting all this advice. And I'm like, the number one thing is you can't be negative. The body is a self-healing mechanism. I believe God wants good for us, I believe that. And the thing is that we can't allow negativity or doubt to creep in.
