What is The Few Will Hunt Show?

The official podcast of Few Will Hunt, the world’s largest community of hard workers and 100% Made in the USA apparel brand. We’re on a mission to restore the dignity of hard work and help others live The Rules of The Few to strengthen ourselves and strengthen society. No entitlement or excuses are allowed here.

Joey Rosen:

Those things cause wounds. Those wounds heal into scars. So a lot of the inspiration behind the t shirt themes at Fuel Hunt are from my scars and our scars. Those scars become sketches, and ultimately, those sketches become strength. Welcome to the Fuel Hunt Show.

Joey Rosen:

What's going on, Eagles? It's Joey. I'm here with Drew. We are cofounders of Fuel Hunt, and this is the Fuel Hunt Show. What do we do on this show?

Joey Rosen:

I'm you know, I'm taking my job back. Yeah. You got it. Yeah. Almost took my job.

Joey Rosen:

I'm gonna take my job back. On this show, we do 3 things. We help you strengthen your brain, strengthen your body, and strengthen your business so that you can strengthen yourself because a strong self leads to a strong society and we need that. We need that to restore the dignity of hard work. Right?

Joey Rosen:

Mhmm. Alright. Got a couple different formats. Today is our 1st community q and a format. I'm excited for it.

Drew Beech:

We got enough questions to do a few more episodes

Joey Rosen:

on it. We did. Speaking of questions, so we put a poll out on our stories, at fuel hunt. We also put a polls on our personal stories, on Instagram, to gather some questions, what you wanna know from the few. We'll continue to do that.

Joey Rosen:

You can either email us, DM us at fuel hunt, or respond to one of those stories to get your question answered live Or text us. Right here. Or text us. Yes. SMS?

Joey Rosen:

Yes. SMS.

Drew Beech:

I'm on there.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. So bring the questions. We have the answers. We'll bring them to the show.

Drew Beech:

Yep.

Joey Rosen:

Alright. So let's dive in. We got 3 questions today, 3 great questions from the community. First question is from community member, Sean. And, this is a hard hitter.

Joey Rosen:

I figure we start we start with something that hits hard. Right? What motivates you when you are down? So I'll To

Drew Beech:

be heard.

Joey Rosen:

Let me I'll turn it over to you. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

I think you would expect a long drawn out deep answer to this. But for me personally, when I'm down or I feel I I have the the thought of mailing it in that day, right, I just remember that I'm letting down all those people that believe in me. And I think I posted that on my personal ones. But when you're not giving a 100% to your life, to your business, to your relationships, you're letting down all the people that chose to have your back when you needed it most and when you were at a point in your life where you needed it. So when I'm down, I do it for them.

Drew Beech:

Right? I do it for people that believe my my my wife, my son Mhmm. Our community members. I just know there's people out there that need us.

Joey Rosen:

There's a there's it sounds like when you're down and down can mean many different things, like you said, mailing it in. Right? You just have one of those days, maybe you didn't sleep well, and you're like, you know what? I don't have the energy today. Right?

Joey Rosen:

Down could mean something much more serious. Down could mean that you are struggling with something physically or mentally. Right? That's bigger than just a a low energy day. But it sounds like when you're down, whatever type of down it is, it sounds like you flip a switch from down to duty.

Joey Rosen:

At least that's what it sounds like. Right? Where you're saying, look. Like, I have the duty to deliver. Right?

Joey Rosen:

And deliver means show up as my best self, protect and provide my family

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

Grow the community and support our community members. You have a duty to do those things. So you're making that switch from down to duty. That's what it sounds like.

Drew Beech:

That was a a much better way of putting what I just said. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

I'm just I'm here to listen. That was well I'm here to listen.

Drew Beech:

I'll replace my answer with you.

Joey Rosen:

Right? I'm here to listen and make sure that that I understood. You know what I mean? And I think that that's a powerful switch to make, a very powerful switch because, you know, a lot of times when you're down, the last thing you think of is really service to others. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Right? But I think there's something really powerful there. You feel a certain way. Right? But you're shifting it to how do others feel in this moment.

Joey Rosen:

Yep. You know what? They might be down too, and I have the tools or I have the platform or, you know, I have it deep down inside of me to deliver for them and and serve them.

Drew Beech:

And I think a lot of the members of the few, if not all of them, feel as though they're the leader in their community. They're the leader of their family, and and they have to show up for other people, not just themselves.

Joey Rosen:

Yep. Yeah. I, actually, we we did an episode recently, what does fuel hunt mean to you? And in one of the responses, a community member said that it's my responsibility to lead the flock, right, to lead the pack and make sure that the pack strengthens and make sure that the pack survives. So that's definitely something in the few that that a lot of members feel that, they're responsible.

Joey Rosen:

And it's really no surprise because, you know, what's one thing that runs through the few, tried and true, is personal accountability.

Drew Beech:

Oh, yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Right? So that personal accountability overflows, like, when you're personally accountable in your life for everything and you own everything, that ownership overflows and then you start to see yourself accountable for those around you and those those you love. So it's a a great answer. When when I'm down again, so you said, hey. Maybe you won't expect a long answer.

Joey Rosen:

I don't think that many people will expect the answer that I'm about to give. Nothing motivates me when when I'm down. Abs absolutely nothing. And I think it's because a long time ago, I stopped believing in motivation. I just stopped.

Joey Rosen:

And this isn't one of those, for me personally, I know, you know, on the interwebs and on social, what's the I don't know. What do they say? They say, like, it's not about motivate here I am, my voice again, my my thing. It's not about motivation. It's about discipline or whatever the thing is.

Joey Rosen:

This isn't one of those types of things. I I gave up believing in motivation a long time ago because it's fleeting. It's not something that should be a required ingredient in your life because it's unreliable. It's fleeting. Many times people look for motivation externally when they have all the power internally within themselves.

Joey Rosen:

Right? So I stopped believing in motivation, and I'm not shitting on Sean's question. Here. Sorry, Sean. I'm not shitting on your question.

Joey Rosen:

Nothing motivates me. I stop believing in motivation. What I believe in are 2 other things, and that's work and belief. Those two things. I think life is a roller coaster, man.

Joey Rosen:

Biz business is a roller coaster, but let's zoom out. Right? Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster, but let's zoom out. Life is a roller coaster.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Ups and downs. And it's like one of those John's, like, that is, like, sidewinder.

Drew Beech:

Can we did you say John? I did. I think you need to clarify what that word means. I I don't I think a lot of people are not gonna

Joey Rosen:

We're, how many we're we're good we're episodes deep in the fuel on show. I've never used the word John before on air.

Drew Beech:

It just hit you saw that. I was like, oh my god.

Joey Rosen:

Okay. So, a John is any person, place, or thing. Fair enough? And it is a uniquely Philly word. And, I feel as though I've disgraced my city by not using the word John sooner on in this in this show.

Joey Rosen:

But look. I mean, you know, how many in? Are we 8, 10? I don't know. At least it happened.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Okay. So now we got drawn out of the way.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Very astute call out there. I appreciate it. So like I was saying, life is a roller coaster. There are many ups and downs, and it's one of those types of roller coasters, not jaunts, types of roller coasters. It's like the sidewinder or Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

What are some of those roller coasters from back in the day? Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Not the gravitron.

Joey Rosen:

But No. Yeah. Yeah. Not the gravitron. It whips you around, and there's more down spin ups.

Joey Rosen:

I really feel as though most people in life on that roller coaster ride experience more downs than ups. And I think that's why Sean's asking this question. Yeah. You know, what motivates you when you're down? Because he's riding the roller coaster just like we all are.

Joey Rosen:

The only thing that has ever helped me on that ride is the process. Having a daily process of work that instills belief in me, that instills worth in me. Because I know on a daily basis, if I do this process every day without quit consistently, that it's not the end. This down isn't the end, and there's an up insight because I trust that doing this process will see me through the down, and then I'll start the upward climb again on the on the roller coaster. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Do you agree?

Drew Beech:

A 100%.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. That's why, you know, I I just stopped believing in motivation. The process for me I think the process for everybody on a daily basis is different, probably. The process for me is is Daily Attack Plan. I mean, that's my that's my process.

Joey Rosen:

It's been that way for 20 years.

Drew Beech:

When you introduced me to to daily attack plan too, it allowed me to, like it it it's a freeing methodology and tool Mhmm. To planning your day. Like, if you don't wanna be, like, the guy that says, oh, like, I'm here, 2:12 PM, I'm there. Knowing your 5 critical tasks

Joey Rosen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

Sets up your entire day for success.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Yeah. So time I I do that as well. I do timebox.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

And I think, you know, if you're an entrepreneur and you're not time boxing, please do it immediately. Protect your time and value your time and make sure that your most creative time

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

Is used when your brain is most creative and, you know, all that good stuff. Daily Attack Plan is, I guess, maybe a higher bit of a higher level than that.

Drew Beech:

Next step. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Higher level up above that. But the theory for those of, our listeners, those in the community, and our viewers that aren't familiar with Daily Attack Plan, basically, it has 3 components. It's the few energy in a day, basically. So it's got the grit, the gratitude, and the go.

Joey Rosen:

Right? They're the 3 components of my daily process that picks me up when I'm down. Mhmm. The the if we go backwards because you mentioned it, we'll start with the go first. 3 or 5, where if I'm feeling chippy, 10 daily tasks that I know I need to get done in that day to see me through the down.

Drew Beech:

Critical tasks.

Joey Rosen:

Critical tasks. Yeah. To see me through the down so that I know at the end of the day, I instill belief in myself that everything's gonna be okay. It's not the end. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

You know what I mean? That's the go part. The gratitude part, there's a gratitude exercise built into to daily attack plan. Everybody's gratitude exercises are different. There's a little exercise built into daily attack plan.

Joey Rosen:

My gratitude exercise, I've explained it before. I, send voice notes and emails to my daughters. I created email accounts for them, and I'll turn those email accounts over to them when they're 18. And they're gonna have, you know, 18 years of voice memos, videos, and emails from me with life lessons, with memorable events, memorable things we've done together with milestone achievements

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

All recorded in the moment. And that really helps me dial up my gratitude for the day because my children are blessings to me.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

And if I can dial up the gratitude that I have for my blessings, guess what else happens? I dial up the gratitude that I have for my challenges. Right? It overflows. It overflows.

Drew Beech:

Grit will throw it all.

Joey Rosen:

So, that's the second component. And the first component is grit, and I we talked about this recently. Like, I have a very terse, short definition of grit, and it's grit is the opposite of quit. Like, many people are like, oh, it's this thing and it's the willingness to be under I get all that. But mine is very simple.

Joey Rosen:

Grit is the opposite of quit. So part of the process here that I do on a daily basis is staying consistent, not quitting. Yep. You know, that's a grit angle. So a little bit of a long answer, but that's what I do when I'm down the process.

Joey Rosen:

But guess what? I do it when I'm up too, and that's the magic in it because all of that work instills belief in worth. You know? And then the downs aren't so deep in the darkness. You know what I mean?

Joey Rosen:

And, the ups are higher towards the light. You know? That's what that's what I do. So, Sean, thank you for your question. I hope that and I trust that that answered it.

Joey Rosen:

If it didn't, Drew's in the DMs. DM them at fuel hunt on Instagram, especially if you're in a down moment and you just need an ear, someone to listen and help. We're here for you. If you don't get Drew in the DMs, email me, joey@fuelhunt.com. Thanks again for your question, Sean.

Joey Rosen:

Let's go to the next question. This is from Teresa, one of my very favorite. Can I play favorites?

Drew Beech:

No.

Joey Rosen:

No. I can't do that. One of my favorite, Fuel Hunt Rise Mhmm. Community members. So Fuel Hunt Rise, for, those of you that don't know, is our private community.

Joey Rosen:

On Instagram, at fuel hunt is our public community. Fuel hunt rise is our private community. More connection between members.

Drew Beech:

Guest speakers.

Joey Rosen:

Guest speakers. We have guest speakers come in for our members. We do socials. We have a weekly accountability call. You also get with Fuel Hunt Rise a bunch of great, like, gear benefits, you know, discounts on gear, access to early releases, like, all this good stuff is going on in Fuel Hunt Rise.

Joey Rosen:

So Teresa, chimed in on Fuel Hunt Rise, one of the posts that I put up in there for for this episode. And her question was, where do you get your inspiration from for your t shirt themes? So, this is one I'll take first if if, if you don't mind. So, as with, I think, all members of the few, you, me, Brianna. Brianna's here somewhere.

Joey Rosen:

There she is back there. As with all members of the few, we've, we've we've gone through some shit. Like, in in not even trying to mince words. We've just been through some shit in life. Right?

Joey Rosen:

Those things cause wounds. Those wounds heal into scars. So a lot of the inspiration behind the t shirt themes at Fuel Hunt are from my scars and our scars. Those scars become sketches, and ultimately those sketches become strength. Because those sketches become designs that are put on t shirts, and those t shirts are worn by the few, and the few strengthen themselves when they wear their shirts, in the gym, at the office, at home, in life.

Joey Rosen:

So they're they're very personal, and I don't know if we've done an excellent job, or I don't know if I've done an excellent job of explaining all the personal reasons behind some of, the designs, the inspiration. We'll get there eventually. You know what I mean? But they're very real. And I think that's why when you wear a fuel hunt t shirt, you feel the emotion.

Joey Rosen:

I'm a big energy transfer guy. You know what I mean? And I feel like books have energy, for example. You know what I mean? If somebody's very passionate about what they're writing about and they're they have the intention to do good, right, and uplift the reader, you're gonna feel energy from that book.

Drew Beech:

Oh, yeah.

Joey Rosen:

That energy, that energy of the few, you feel it when you wear a few on t shirt. It's authentic.

Drew Beech:

I would say it's not what you wear. It's who you are when you wear it, and that's why people wear a few more hot.

Joey Rosen:

Right. It makes them feel empowered, strong. Right? It makes them feel bigger than their circumstances. It makes them just feel bigger generally in a world that's trying to make them feel smaller.

Drew Beech:

Oh, yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. So we say it all the time, like, you know, more than clothing. This is this is part of the reason. And if we can touch on entrepreneurship for a little bit as it relates to this, Do you see apparel? Do you see t shirts out there that are attempting to emulate what we're doing with fuel hunt.

Drew Beech:

All the time.

Joey Rosen:

All the time. Yeah. Not I don't you know, I don't knock anybody's hustle, like, get it. But to all the entrepreneurs out there, a word of advice. I see some of these t shirts, and it's clip art, right, from Canva, and it's a saying that doesn't make sense or they saw somewhere Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

That they just decided to put on the shirt. There's no emotion in it Mhmm. And authenticity. So if you're out there and you're an entrepreneur and you're building something and you're creating something, we're rooting for you, but please imbue it with emotion and meaning.

Drew Beech:

Intention And is is the big thing we talk about with our employees too. Like, via which you came up with the another one of your framework. I won't even take credit for it, but vision, intention, and action. So before you do anything in business and in life, you should have all the all three things.

Joey Rosen:

Yep.

Drew Beech:

I will say the reason I believe it hits us so hard personally, when we do see those imitators, there's always haters, fakers, and imitators. Right? So Mhmm. When we do someone out see someone out there imitating us, it strikes a little deeper because we spend so much in vision, intention, and action on creating these things. They're not just clip art thrown with a fancy saying.

Drew Beech:

They're Yep. Our pain put on the paper. Yep. And we we toiled over for before a shirt gets released, we've been working on it for months. Some of them have sat and been worked on for years.

Joey Rosen:

Mhmm. And

Drew Beech:

for someone to come and try and compete with us or or imitate us with a lesser version of something that we worked so hard on

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Is truly offensive.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Drew Beech:

I will say, if I can answer the question, the I the the line I get to work on the well, personally, is with my friend, Sean Brady, over there, in this shirt right here. But all that inspiration comes from mantras that hold true to us that I think embodies Sean Brady's values and work ethic. The one that we that not many people have and may have never seen

Joey Rosen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

Paired with his love for the martial arts and the Japanese roots. And, it's one of my favorite projects to works on to work on Yep. In what we do.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I think you hit you hit on hit the nail on the head, you know, especially with showing stuff like via another framework like you said, vision, intent, and an action. Like, when we create something, we know how we want our community members to feel when they wear it. Like, we have a vision. Before I put this is this this tablet here is where I sketch.

Joey Rosen:

Before this pen hits this tablet, right, I already have a vision for how I want the community member to feel. And many times, that vision is rooted in, you know, a scar that I have or a scar that a community member has. A story. A story that they went through. A story that started with trauma, pain, risk, fear, but ended with success, learning, wisdom.

Joey Rosen:

That vision component is so important. I think that's what people are missing. And then the intention flows through from it and the action. Mhmm. You know what I mean?

Joey Rosen:

I'm gonna put this thing in this spot. I'm gonna arrange the mantra in this way. It's all intentional action Mhmm. To make sure that at the end of the day, our community member feels exactly the way we want them to feel, empowered, energetic, right, when they wear. So a lot.

Joey Rosen:

I think it's safe to say based on everything we just I think it's safe to say that a lot goes into what we do here. And there's a lot of Mona Lisas that are still hanging around. Mona Lisa meaning, I'm a big Da Vinci guy. Da Vinci never finished the Mona Lisa. He carried it around for forever, for years.

Joey Rosen:

There's some of those that we have if you will, hon, because we're still dialing in that vision. We still wanna make sure that we hit the mark completely. So that when our community member puts it on, they feel exactly how we want them to feel so they can strengthen themselves and and ultimately strengthen society. Yep. So, Teresa, great question.

Joey Rosen:

Great question. I appreciate you, and I will see you at the next social, which I believe is the first, Sunday in December. I think that's the 3rd, I think. The 3rd. December 1st is a Friday, I think.

Joey Rosen:

So December 3rd. So I'll see you at the next social. Alright. 3rd and final question here, again, from a few on Rise Eagle, again, one of my favorites. Evelyn, she asked, and this is more of an entrepreneurship question.

Joey Rosen:

She asks, what is your favorite thing and your least favorite thing about operating a business? You wanna take that one first?

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Quite simply, it a lot there's a lot of suck in the in the, entrepreneur life. However, you learn to love it. You learn to love the pain and and all of the ups and downs that are entrepreneurship. So, I mean, I I wouldn't trade my my worst day as an entrepreneur for the best day as an employee.

Drew Beech:

And that's just me personally speaking for myself. But my favorite part and I think there's I always say this to people, but it's like we're selling, dishwashers. Right? Like, my favorite part of being an entrepreneur is I built something that we built something that we believe in and truly changes lives.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Drew Beech:

And when you're you're truly passionate about what you do and you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. For I didn't wanna say

Joey Rosen:

I know it's cliche,

Drew Beech:

but it's true. It's true.

Joey Rosen:

I've what we've done is we've started a business that aligns with the impact that we wanna have on the world, and that's amazing.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. You

Joey Rosen:

know what I mean? And there's nothing nothing against people's dishes being really clean.

Drew Beech:

Nothing against dish box itself.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Nothing against it. But we've we've, we've created a business that aligns with the impact that we wanna have in the world, and that's like the that's like the magical intersection, I think, of of, of the productivity side of business and the purpose side of life. Like, it's that magical intersection. What do you think

Drew Beech:

However, we're keeping it real for a sec. Yep. Cat managing cash flow

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Might be the only sort of part.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I mean, it's I think we both if we had to pick something, I think we'd both say, like, the the the numbers, you know, the back office number stuff. And I think that's because both, both you and I are very, we're

Drew Beech:

Market.

Joey Rosen:

People people people people. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? We're people people.

Joey Rosen:

Like, we want to serve people. We want to, you know, find our people in the market and and and then blow everybody else out of the water with the value that we provide to them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

You know what I'm saying? So we're people people.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

You know what I mean? We're we're people

Drew Beech:

Numbers people.

Joey Rosen:

People centric. We're not necessarily numbers people. Yeah. I, yeah. I'm I'm really not a numbers guy.

Joey Rosen:

Math isn't my strong suit. So, you said something about, like, learning to love. You learn to love it. Why do you think that is? On, like, a on, like, a on, like, a human level, like, a deeper level, what how do you why do you think it is that you learn to love the pain, the challenges that come with entrepreneurship?

Drew Beech:

I think it goes back to being one of the few where I, like, you may not be an entrepreneur, but you love the pain of working out, ice bathing, doing the hard work, doing things that are uncomfortable for other people. Right? Like Mhmm. You it's not about battering yourself. It's about battering yourself.

Drew Beech:

So you know that when you're doing all this hard shit, you're truly becoming a better version of yourself.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah.

Drew Beech:

So I know that by withstanding the storms of entrepreneurship, I'm truly building something great.

Joey Rosen:

Yep. In yourself and in and within the business. Correct. Yep. Correct.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. I would agree. I it's it's always interesting, like, I I used to say for the love of of growth. Right? Like, we we make at Fuel Hunt, we make gear for growth.

Joey Rosen:

Mhmm. Fucking point blank period. That's what we make. Mhmm. You know?

Joey Rosen:

I always used to say that, you know, I learned to love the sucky parts of entrepreneurship for the love of growth, but I don't really think it's the growth anymore. I I think it's the process, like, really what it is. Because I and you tell me if you feel this way, but we've climbed a lot of mountains in our days. Mhmm. You know, the metaphorical mountains in entrepreneurship.

Joey Rosen:

And the the top to me never felt as great as the climb.

Drew Beech:

No.

Joey Rosen:

And that's why, you know, I think it's a proverb. They say, behind mountains are more mountains. I feel like that's how entrepreneurs operate. Right? Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

You you climb that mountain, and then you're like, alright. Where's the next peak? Alright. There you go.

Drew Beech:

Our friend Joe DeSana on the few on Rod's call. Yep. I said out of all the I asked my I asked my question. I said, he's done a lot of hard shit. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

I did a ride, climbed out. Like, literally, like, he's done a lot of he created the Spartan race, which is Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

I I was just gonna say. Yep.

Drew Beech:

So he's done it all. And I said, would you what's harder? The the hardest thing you did to challenge yourself or entrepreneurship? You said entrepreneurship any day.

Joey Rosen:

And

Drew Beech:

he said entrepreneurship feels like you're climbing a mountain, and you just constantly are getting knocked off. And when you get to the top, you're knocked off again.

Joey Rosen:

Well, Pedros and Di say the same thing. You know, they have that bear. Right? And I love that analogy. Like, I remember Di telling us about it when we were at their house for dinner the first time.

Joey Rosen:

Like, you know, you're climbing the mountain and every so often you encounter the bear, and the bear is there to basically make sure that you top down the mountain. You have to break through the bear to get to the next level and then you see the next bear and the next bear. Yep. Yeah. I love those analogies.

Drew Beech:

And, realistically, if you're if you're doing it right, in my opinion, like, you don't really feel like you ever reached the top. Like, there wasn't a there isn't a pinnacle. It's like you have to actually take a second and be like, woah. Wait a second. We did that.

Drew Beech:

Like, you know what I mean?

Joey Rosen:

Yep. Yep. Yeah. I I I think that entrepreneurship is is one of the most effective, and I'm not saying everybody's cut out for it because they're not. And that has nothing to do with worth.

Joey Rosen:

It's just how personal preference, how people wanna live their lives.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

But I used to say entrepreneurship, and I still believe this, is probably the most effective self development program ever Yeah. Ever.

Drew Beech:

I would agree.

Joey Rosen:

As long as you're all in on it. The most effective self development program ever. Yeah. Alright. So you learn to love it.

Joey Rosen:

We kinda kinda touched on maybe if we had to pick something we didn't like, it was maybe the back office. Favorite thing about it. Is that your learn to love or what?

Drew Beech:

No. Building something you're proud of.

Joey Rosen:

Right? Like Yeah. So

Drew Beech:

your impact.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. Your impact. Yeah. Okay. For me, you know, my answer to this question is is similar to yours.

Joey Rosen:

I don't really think that I have a least favorite thing. Like, sure, you could push me to pick 1.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Rosen:

But at the end of the day, if I'm going through my journey, you know, my daily journey as an entrepreneur, and there's something that I don't feel like doing, It's more so because I'm not dialed personally. Like, I'm vibrating lower. I'm feeling low low vibration feelings and not high vibration feelings. So for me, if I if I do encounter something during the day, and I feel that way, I just use it as an opportunity to step back and detach, breathe a second and say, like, okay, there's a reason you're feeling this way. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

And you it it may be because you're fear fearing the outcome, you're fearing the details, you're you're you're fearing, the risk, like, there's something. It's not that you don't like it because I love this. I love this game. Yeah. Like, I love this game.

Joey Rosen:

I I started my first business young. And then once I exited that, I went back inside as an employee because I love my team, and I had a lot of purpose there. It wasn't, for anything other than that, but I went back inside, man. And then I had to quit again. So, like, I was an entrepreneur.

Joey Rosen:

Right? Then I went inside as an employee. Then I had to quit again to do this with you. You know what I mean? So, I love this game, man.

Joey Rosen:

Like, I learned a lesson there that, like, you I can't take this game out of me. It's like the streets out here. Like, I can't take them out of me. Like, they're in me. Yeah.

Joey Rosen:

So I can't I can't say that I don't love a part of it because the journey, that'd be like taking that'd be like taking a, you know, an, ATV up the mountain. You know, it it it just dilutes the journey. You gotta feel the pain. You know what I mean? And and all the parts of the process.

Joey Rosen:

100%. Favorite thing, if I had to pick a favorite thing, like I said, I love this game. But if I had to pick a favorite thing, Evelyn said operating a business, we're looking at maybe like entrepreneurship really and and parlaying it to what we're doing here with Fuel Hunt. My favorite thing, hands down, is, speaking to members of the community. I don't get the opportunity to do that in person often, but, over email, hands down.

Drew Beech:

Oh, yeah.

Joey Rosen:

Like, you know, the exchanges that I've had over with community members over the past 5 years, 4 years, because we didn't have email when we first started. Yeah. Like idiots. 1 of the top idiots. Such idiots.

Joey Rosen:

That's my low that's my low vibrations, man.

Drew Beech:

Would you put connecting over creating

Joey Rosen:

Hands down.

Drew Beech:

These the shirts and battle flags that our community member wear community members wear on their backs on a daily basis. Like, you are you're having conversations with them daily whether you know it or not.

Joey Rosen:

Yeah. This is that's very good. It's a very good question, very good point. If I'm if I was to answer your question, I would put connecting with them over creating because the connection feeds the creation. Like I said earlier, like, the all of the creation comes from scars to sketches to strength and, like, connecting with them, I start to learn about their scars.

Joey Rosen:

So I would definitely put, connecting over creating, but hands down point blank period, connecting with the community over email. And I hope, you know, I send an email out like what does fuel hunt mean to you and I get hundreds of responses. I have a vision going back to vision and intent and action where those 100 of 100 responses, 200 responses, 300 responses are actual conversations that we're having here. Mhmm. Because on a daily basis, the community power hour that we have, which is fledgling right now, is much bigger.

Joey Rosen:

And we have community members coming through every day, all day, or maybe during specific hours so that we can actually scale and build the community. But coming through and having those conversations in person and having exchanging the few energy with them in in in person. So that's the the vision that I have.

Drew Beech:

The house of hard work.

Joey Rosen:

The house of hard work and the house of hard work. We've put it we've put it all out there, and we have community power hour going on right now. You know, it just happens once every few weeks. One community member today, actually, there's a run, a Rocky run-in Philly. So Trevor, is another fuel hunt rise member.

Joey Rosen:

Trevor is gonna be coming through, to say hello today, which is cool. I am so eager to be connecting like that on a large scale, you know, in the future in the future. So alright. We didn't get we didn't get to all of the questions. There are a lot.

Joey Rosen:

There's questions around, more entrepreneurship related questions that we can touch on, in the future. There's questions around, athlete and ambassador, positions in the community. There's questions around manufacturing and why we chose to be 100% tried and true American made. There there's questions about you and your story. There's questions about me and my story personally.

Joey Rosen:

Mhmm. We're gonna get to all those in in future episodes of community q and a. But today, I wanted to hit these 3, these 3 questions. So let's tie this up here. Let's talk about and ask for the community.

Joey Rosen:

Right? Let's talk about and ask. If this inspired you to grow, please share the show. Please. One of the most effective ways that we've scaled and grown our community and our impact in society is by word-of-mouth.

Joey Rosen:

So if this inspired you to go to grow, please share the show. Welcome a friend into our community, into the few by sharing this episode with them. And, always remember, choose effort over entitlement. Choose hard work over handouts. No one owns you.

Joey Rosen:

No one owes you. You're one of the few.
