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.

Drew Beech:

All of these things, gratitude, business plans, manifestation, visualization, are all nothing without work. Welcome to the Fuel Hunt Show.

Joey Bowen:

Welcome to the Fuel Hunt Show. I'm Joey, cofounder of Fuel Hunt, and I am here with my cousin and cofounder, Drew.

Drew Beech:

Grateful to be here. Oh, man. You It is on on par with our our, episode today. Yeah. So extremely grateful to have the health and ability to be here.

Joey Bowen:

Alright. Now alright. So, I think I mentioned on the show last time, you always got that energy, man. You're always bringing that energy. You're poster child of energy for the few.

Drew Beech:

Thank

Joey Bowen:

you. What what, what a lot of, people don't know is there's a thing called the few energy. Mhmm. There's a thing.

Drew Beech:

I think we have

Joey Bowen:

it's a real thing.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. We gotta give credit to Brianna for this one. I think she

Joey Bowen:

We we do.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. She did. Like, okay. What did you say? Like, positive vibes only

Joey Bowen:

all

Drew Beech:

the time? Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

So, Brianna is my cousin, Drew's sister, ninja of operations for fuel hunt. Mhmm. Has been since day 1. And, she has great energy. Both of you do.

Joey Bowen:

Both both of you have great energy.

Drew Beech:

Sure.

Joey Bowen:

I vibrate I vibrate, a little negative sometimes. Not if not anymore. I can't say I vibrate negative. I'm just very intense

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

Which, in this day and age or in this in your generation rather, seems like negative energy, but my my intensity is actually just the go part of the fuel energy.

Drew Beech:

It was just certain settings. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was

Joey Bowen:

So, Brianna, thank you, for for this, for coining and helping us realize that the few energy is a real thing. So, for this episode of the show, we're gonna dissect, break down one of the rules of the few, and then we're gonna give the few a practical way, a tool, on how they can live this rule in their daily life. Right? Before we get into the rule, which I believe is rule number 3, I'll read it verbatim as I do when we do these episodes, I wanna talk about the rules of the few a bit. Okay?

Joey Bowen:

And that they're a big differentiator for us. Right? I mentioned it on a previous show. A lot of people nowadays look at us as a clothing company.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Bowen:

But since day 1, it's not something we stapled on a year into the journey because we wanted to sell more shit. You know? It's not something we made up 2 years into it since day 1. Right? We've been community first.

Joey Bowen:

Right? So much more than clothing. We're a community that lives by a code of conduct to create change in our lives and in society. So that code of conduct is the rules of the few. So that's why we're dedicating some of these shows to breaking them down, giving them a little more exposure, and then hopefully in the future, fielding some questions from the community on the rules of the few and how they can apply those rules to their their daily lives.

Joey Bowen:

Right? So let's jump in. Rule number 3, bring the few energy. So let me, read the rule verbatim as I do. Right?

Joey Bowen:

Bring the few energy. In every moment of every day, exude grit, gratitude, and go. And then we're gonna get into some definitions of those three things. Right? The 3 the 3 spokes, right, or the 3 prongs of the few energy.

Joey Bowen:

So grit. Be gritty and scrappy and resent and relentlessly resourceful. Always make a way around, under, over, through your obstacle. Gratitude. Be grateful for your life regardless of your circumstances.

Joey Bowen:

Be as grateful for your challenges as you are for your blessings. And lastly, but not least, go. The action part. Always be prone to action. Go do.

Joey Bowen:

Go do. Waiting, wishing, whining, they're all worthless. Your work instills your worth. So it's definitely something I wanna touch on when Mhmm. When it's my when it's my time.

Joey Bowen:

But let's chop this up a little bit. So the few energy has 3 components, 3 prongs, grit, gratitude, and go. How I touched on grit a little bit in the rule. How do you define grit if you had to define it?

Drew Beech:

The willingness to and this goes back to one of our core values. But Mhmm. Grit to me is the willingness to do whatever it takes no matter how hard it gets to achieve your goal.

Joey Bowen:

I think that's a solid I think that's a solid ass definition. I like that. For me, I have a really like, I I can be long winded sometimes. Look. I mean, look.

Joey Bowen:

Let's call for what it is. But I have a really short definition of grit, and it's the opposite of quit. It every it's everything that quit is not.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

That's what it is. You know? We talk about in the rule, being scrappy. Right? And being relentlessly resourceful.

Joey Bowen:

Right? Being creative. Right?

Drew Beech:

Mhmm.

Joey Bowen:

2 things that I think benefit everybody in their lives, but especially if you're like us, like entrepreneurs. Right? A relentless ability to be resourceful and solve your problems is key to surviving as an entrepreneur. Yep. Would you agree?

Drew Beech:

Yep. And I think that's someone else is on the show a while back. It might have been Bryce on the body, or, the body headquarters. Right? The what's that podcast called?

Joey Bowen:

Bryce's podcast is, the Fit Body Boot Camp podcast. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That he asked us how we got to where we were.

Joey Bowen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

And I said, one of the main things that got us here was our relentless refusal to quit. Mhmm. We refuse to give up no matter how hard it gets, and that speaks to our situation today or a year ago, etcetera. It only as entrepreneur, it only gets harder. Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

You're constantly climbing up a mountain and getting knocked off it.

Joey Bowen:

Yep. As b as b and die say, like, you're you're climbing that mountain and the bear always shows up.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

Right? Yep. The resistance. You know, the external resistance, the bear, always looking to knock you back down the mountain.

Drew Beech:

So and I would be lying if I didn't say there were times when I thought about it and you you say think once or what is it? You say better than I do because I don't go ahead with

Joey Bowen:

Think once, act twice.

Drew Beech:

No. No. They commit.

Joey Bowen:

Oh, yeah. Think quit once.

Drew Beech:

Yes.

Joey Bowen:

Right?

Drew Beech:

Yes.

Joey Bowen:

And then think commit twice.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then I just realized that there's there's always something that can be done going back to our turning over the rocks necessary to really solve your problems.

Joey Bowen:

Mhmm. Yeah. I I agree. We made a pact, which we've spoken about on on other shows. I don't think we've covered it on on this show, but we made a pact that, and I think it was me, it was my language, that we would die on the sword.

Joey Bowen:

You know? I think if you wanna use a Spartan reference, it's like you return home on your shield.

Drew Beech:

Yes.

Joey Bowen:

Like like, we have a zero option mentality. Yep. Like, there is there is no quit. Yep. Absolute absolutely none.

Joey Bowen:

And that's why I define grit the way I do. It's it's everything that is not quit. Yeah. You know, the opposite

Drew Beech:

I like that.

Joey Bowen:

Of it. You know? How about, gratitude? I know you're a big gratitude guy. If there's one thing that I've gotten from you that you've given me, and I've received over the years is the, importance of gratitude and the practice of gratitude on a daily basis.

Joey Bowen:

So how how important? We we know what gratitude is. Right? And, you know, the the rule hits on it. You've gotta be grateful as grateful for your challenges

Drew Beech:

I like that he showed

Joey Bowen:

up. Yep. Your Your blessings. As grateful for your darkness as you are your light. Right?

Joey Bowen:

So, how important is gratitude to you on a daily basis? You know, what do you do on a daily basis to dial in your gratitude? Like, what's your

Drew Beech:

Yeah. I personally have my 5 minute journal. Mhmm. It's a a very helpful tool. I mean, we get no money for promoting them on this podcast.

Drew Beech:

But if you don't have one, I suggest you invest in a 5 minute journal. I forgot the name of the company that makes them.

Joey Bowen:

I think it's 5 minute journal. Even if you Google it, I

Drew Beech:

think Is it like best self or something?

Joey Bowen:

I'm not sure.

Drew Beech:

Speaking of our skills, but yeah. Amazon, Five Minute Journal.

Joey Bowen:

But

Drew Beech:

in that, you have 3 things you're grateful for every day. So the first thing I do every day is get sunlight and write down 3 things I'm grateful for. And a lot of people and then I end my day also with Parker. At dinner and my with my wife, Amanda. We talk about what are we grateful for today, what was the what was the best part of our day, and what was the worst part of our day.

Joey Bowen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

And I think the worst part is just in there to remind us that things can get rough. And a lot of people I painfully practice gratitude because I've been through a lot of hard things in my life and a lot of challenges. And I remind myself when I'm going through those hard and dark times that someone else would kill to be in your situation. Someone would would kill for your problems literally today. Any problem that you think you have, someone would love your situation.

Drew Beech:

Mhmm. They would take what you're getting and be grateful for it. Mhmm. And a lot of people get exhausted by me a lot, especially Brianna, because perspective is truly my superpower.

Joey Bowen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

And no matter what you're dealing with today, you need to shift your focus and be like, wow. Like, this really isn't that bad.

Joey Bowen:

Yep. I I agree. I think I share the same superpower, maybe not, reframing, and that's what it is for me. And I think it's kind of the same thing. It's perspective shift, right, where you see an opportunity in the obstacle, basically.

Joey Bowen:

Yep. Yeah. So let me hit you with a hot take on on gratitude. Alright. This is a hot take because I know you're a big gratitude guy.

Joey Bowen:

As I said, you know, I love, you for imparting that on me, over the years. Do you think scratch the hot take. Let me ask it as a question. Do you think that you can have too much gratitude?

Drew Beech:

I'm I'm scared to say no.

Joey Bowen:

Why? Because you think I have an answer. I do have an answer. Yeah. No.

Joey Bowen:

I I have a hot take. But

Drew Beech:

It's the hot take against Here's the here's

Joey Bowen:

the thing. I do think just like anything in life that you can have too much of something. Right? You can have too much training and not enough recovery. You can have too much recovery and not enough training.

Joey Bowen:

You can Right? And I think gratitude, I've seen I've observed you know me. I'm a big observer. Right? Not of just other people in situations, but I I observe myself in situations.

Joey Bowen:

Huge observer Yeah. Which goes back to some of the tools that I learned to overcome the hard things in my life. But, anyway, what I've observed specifically with, you know, some of the younger generation, make me sound like a dino. Right? Yeah.

Drew Beech:

I've been saying that a lot.

Joey Bowen:

I know, man. I gotta I gotta break it. I gotta we're all we're all editing it out. I'll just go and edit it out. Please edit this hat now.

Joey Bowen:

I'm joking. What I've observed is I see some people using gratitude, to accept circumstances that they should be overcoming. Like, hey, I'm I'm really really grateful for this adversity, you know. And using the gratitude, as a way to outwardly say, like, look. I'm accepting.

Joey Bowen:

I'm accepting, but then being resistant to change. So I think, like, maybe that's one of those things where, like, maybe you can have too much. Yeah. Because there's a certain point where you gotta be, like, you know, it's a 2 headed monster. Right?

Joey Bowen:

You're kinda like, I have gratitude, but I also have grit and I have go.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. That's what I thought you said. That's where the go comes in. Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

So here's the hot take. Right? So it's a hot take. This the few energy thing is a little bit of a hot take. When you read the rule, you're like, man, it sounds great.

Joey Bowen:

It's a little framework, mental framework for me. I need grit. I need gratitude. I need go. But all those thing things are metered.

Joey Bowen:

Right? You have too much grit, and you're too scrappy. Right? You're not grateful. Mhmm.

Joey Bowen:

Right? That's a problem. You have too much go, and you're doing a 1,000 fucking things.

Drew Beech:

Yep.

Joey Bowen:

But you're not grateful for the progress that you are making and 4 of those and leaning into those instead, that's a problem. So there's metering

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

In the in the few energy. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Well said.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. I, this is probably an episode just because of the nature of it where we'll have more than one tool for the rule, more than one practical way. So I'll hit you with with one of mine, here because you brought up, Parker and Amanda. One of the things that I do on a daily basis I'm not a big I love to write. Writing is therapy for me, but the majority of writing I do is for others, for the community.

Joey Bowen:

Right? Emails, you know, the rules of the few, like, stuff like that. I don't do the journal thing really.

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

I did at some points in my life.

Drew Beech:

I was gonna say I feel like I remember you

Joey Bowen:

talking about it. Points in my life, but now, I don't. But one thing that I do to practice gratitude on a daily basis is send, voice memos, videos or emails to my daughters. And you're like, oh, well, genius idea. Well, there's more.

Joey Bowen:

I created email accounts for them. Right? So I I bought a domain. I won't say what the domain is because, you know, they may get some not everybody loves hard work now. Let's just be honest.

Joey Bowen:

You know what I mean? If I get some email. I create domains for them. They each have their own email boxes. And I send these videos, voice memos, emails, photos from the day.

Joey Bowen:

If I have them here at HQ, I take a bunch of photos and video, and I send them to them. And I just let them know that I love them. Every day. Simple.

Drew Beech:

Every day.

Joey Bowen:

Every day mostly for the most part. You know, it's a goal of mine to do it every day, if not every other day. And that's a way for me like, that action is a way for me to step back and have a moment of gratitude and reflect and be like, wow. I got a lot of great things going on in my life despite the challenges that we have as a community, as a business, as a world, whatever. So, that's one of the tools that I use to express gratitude on a daily basis, and I highly recommend that you do it too.

Joey Bowen:

If you don't have children, yet, start it anyway. If you don't plan on having children, that's fine. Do it for somebody else. And these email accounts, I'm going to give my daughters access to when they turn 18. So they'll be able to go back and see all these memories and life lessons and, you know, all of the stuff.

Joey Bowen:

So that's one tool that that I use.

Drew Beech:

I love that.

Joey Bowen:

I wanna I wanna digest.

Drew Beech:

I've been meaning to since you mentioned it last, I've I've been meaning to do something like that.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. Yeah. It's it's, it's powerful, man. I find that I I get like, daily attack plan, you know, we have a gratitude section of that. But I find that I get more, gratitude from or the moments are more the moments of gratitude are more powerful when I do when I do this, when I send the the letters.

Drew Beech:

You're an emotional guy. I can imagine when every lyric cc you're, like, 16

Joey Bowen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

And you sit down on unbox all these.

Joey Bowen:

Well, here's the thing. I'm just not gonna be there when I have no. I'll be on this earth still.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

But I'm gonna have to give them their space because I want them to to to experience that themselves without me basically, like and and the river of tears that will be following me for when they when they, actually get access to it.

Drew Beech:

Did you ever see the guy that took a photo of his daughter on her 1st day of school for, like, her whole life? Or I

Joey Bowen:

did not.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. He did, like, a collage.

Joey Bowen:

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Drew Beech:

Like that.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one too.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah. That's a

Joey Bowen:

good one too. Yeah. I find it, like, when I first started doing it, it was, like, I wanted to share lessons, life lessons with them. And then I realized that, like, you know, that level of pressure to always be teaching them isn't what they need. They need the life lessons

Drew Beech:

Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

But they also need to know that we just had a fucking great time.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Like Exactly. We just Enjoy the ride.

Joey Bowen:

Exactly. Because Exactly.

Drew Beech:

Back to the old episode. The first episode, you only get one shot.

Joey Bowen:

Yep. Life is short. Life is sacred.

Drew Beech:

Did you buy the domain because the techy in you, like, you wouldn't do it, like, a Gmail?

Joey Bowen:

Yes.

Drew Beech:

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's my bad Security.

Drew Beech:

Cybersecurity.

Joey Bowen:

You know that, and I want it to be more personal.

Drew Beech:

I actually think

Joey Bowen:

I bought I bought Parker's.

Drew Beech:

Yes. You did. Yeah. I did. I bought Parker's.

Drew Beech:

For his first birthday?

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. Yeah. For his birthday. Yeah. That's me.

Joey Bowen:

Just giving the gift of remains to people. It's odd, but, you know, it it works for me.

Drew Beech:

Alright. Well, my tool, I mean, we'll go back to the if you don't have a 5 minute journal, I suggest you get one. We're gratitude journal. And then also maybe starting a practice with your family at night. Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

What are you grateful for? What was the best part of your day? What was the worst part? And then the last one I'll leave you with, which we got from our man, b, not to mention too much on this podcast, but 3 gratitude texts Yeah. Per day.

Drew Beech:

And this goes back to our rule of the feud to get give. But so for every day I mean, I don't do this every day, but I try to do it a lot. But I send 3 gratitude text messages to people in my life that have impacted me. Just let them know, like, hey. Thank you for being there.

Drew Beech:

Thank you for the energy you bring my life.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. I love that. I love that. So I have a a tool for this rule that's a riff on that, that we'll we'll get to, towards the end. Let's cover go first before we get there.

Joey Bowen:

Right? So, the last component, right, of the few energy, but arguably, maybe the most important. Right? Because if you were not taking action, you're probably not practicing moments of gratitude, and you're probably not scrappy and being resourceful. Right?

Joey Bowen:

You know?

Drew Beech:

Yep.

Joey Bowen:

So, go do. Yep. You know, I've written that in my my notebook. I've written that on whiteboards. G o d o.

Joey Bowen:

Right? Yep. So many times, go do. The importance of acting early and acting often. Right?

Joey Bowen:

Always being prone to action, imperfect action. Right?

Drew Beech:

Yep.

Joey Bowen:

One one one thing that I think one reason one reason that I think this is so important is because in the absence of action is what? Anxiety. Right? You know, the absence of action is basically avoidance, and avoidance births anxiety. You know what I mean?

Joey Bowen:

Action kills it. So, that's why it it's, I think, you know, the the most important component of of the few energy. Action in your life. How important is it?

Drew Beech:

It can't be all words and no work. Mhmm. Mhmm. All these things Put

Joey Bowen:

it on a put it on a t shirt.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Let's go. On a on a emoji tomorrow.

Joey Bowen:

Let's go.

Drew Beech:

But all of these things, gratitude, business plans, manifestation, visualization are all nothing without work.

Joey Bowen:

Mhmm.

Drew Beech:

And that's what the view on mentality comes down to.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. In the in in the go portion of this rule that I read, you know, I have a little mantra myself that I say waiting, whining, wishing, they're worthless. They're worthless. Yep. Your work instills your worth.

Joey Bowen:

I wholeheartedly believe that. I believe that if you are avoiding the work, that you'll have a low interpretation or perception of your of your self worth. And I think that's why, you know, action is is so important aside from the anxiety portion. You know what I mean? If you're hitting the gym every day, you're doing your best to live the rules of the few.

Joey Bowen:

You're doing your best to have dialed nutrition. You're doing your best to be a great parent, doing your best to be a great teammate, right, to be a great husband, wife, brother, sister, cousin, whatever. You're doing the work. You'll always feel worthy of the blessings that come your way. And that's that's what, what I believe.

Joey Bowen:

Before we close this up, I'll give you my other tool for the rule. A riff on, the 3 gratitude text messages. Something I do, on a daily basis, which is more of a 321 type thing. So I do 3 emails, 2 text messages and one phone call. Right?

Joey Bowen:

To strengthen the relationships in my life as well as practice moments of gratitude for for those people. I feel like me giving my time to those people is one of the best ways that I can show that I'm I'm grateful for them. So emails, the 3 emails, typically, it's email replies, you know, to the field.

Drew Beech:

Yeah. Yeah.

Joey Bowen:

Because I get absolutely murdered with those, and I I fucking love it. Hard to keep up with. Yeah. You know? So I'm still a couple months behind, but don't think I forgot about you.

Joey Bowen:

So, yeah, they're typically, you know, emails. Text messages, typically family and friends. Yeah. And then, phone call is, you know, I I really take a moment at the end of the day. It's typically at the end of the day.

Joey Bowen:

And I think about all my interactions throughout the day and who could really benefit from a call, who needs to hear that someone's rooting for them, someone's proud of them, that, you know, they're not alone Yeah. Really. And I think that, the best way to do that is by voice. So yeah. So I have a little 3, 2, 1 that I do

Drew Beech:

I love that.

Joey Bowen:

On a daily basis.

Drew Beech:

And it's funny that you brought it back to not them not being alone because I feel like that's the genesis of you want. Like, everything I'm realizing doing these episodes, everything circled back to not being alone in your journey.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. I mean, you know, we're community first. We talked about that on a previous episode. And, you know, community is the opposite of solitude. Mhmm.

Joey Bowen:

You know? And I feel like each and every one of us feel alone at different parts of our days. But most of us have felt alone in a large way throughout our lives because of something that impacted us in our childhood or, you know, another type of trauma. And, the few one thing that we don't talk about often, the few do a great job of we help each other heal through those feelings of of solitude, through community. Yep.

Joey Bowen:

Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a great way to to to end it.

Drew Beech:

I agree.

Joey Bowen:

I agree. As always, gang, all the Eagles out there, we have a couple different formats for the show. If you wanna hear Drew and I cover something, specifically, you have a question about fuel hunt, the community or fuel hunt the company. So, you know

Drew Beech:

Brain body business.

Joey Bowen:

Yep. As I say all the time, you have a question about the brain, about the body or business, Hit us up. Hit us in the, the DMs, and, we would love to include it, on the show. There's something else that I wanted to to to cover at the very end, then it escapes me now. But guess what?

Joey Bowen:

We're gonna have You have plenty more. Weekly episodes.

Drew Beech:

We got day booked for all year.

Joey Bowen:

So Yeah. So we're all we're all good. So, if I can, Eagles, I'm gonna leave you, with a piece of wisdom to remember. Always choose effort over entitlement. Always choose hard work over handouts.

Joey Bowen:

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