Never would have thought that the action star I loved in my childhood would motivate me to change my life at 47 years old…but here we are! Arnold is a great man, listen to him kids!
LMFAO yeah so wise and smart... How much freedom you giving up for that LOOOSSSSEEERRRR. Your profile pic is a complete misrepresentation of what you stand for
One of my favourite actors of all time along with Clint Eastwood, John Hurt, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Samuel Jackson, Sigouney Weaver, James Earl Jones, Sean Connery and Christopher Lee to name a few.
Some of it is that they were actually making good movies then. That's why you don't see many new huge stars - they don't make the same kind of great star vehicles.
I turned 40 this year and I find myself doing this thing of comparing where my heroes were at my age. Considering you're 45, look at Arnie at 45. Already a world championship body builder, millionaire real estate investor and now, in 1992, was also one of the most bankable movie stars in history. And then after that he STILL become a successful politician lol. A life truly well lived (yes, I know he also made some mistakes along the way before anyone comments).
A bit younger but still grew up with his movies. Never would have stayed as fit my entire life if it weren’t for him and his story. It’s a shame kids these days don’t have something similar, they’re so much less healthy than we were back then. We were so lucky to grow up with people like Arnie, Sly, Van Damme etc.
Having spent thousands of hours around Arnold ( film crew) the thing about him that impressed me the most was he was on his phone a lot making business deals. Is is incredible at making deals. Also He is a good guy
This is fantastic advice. Arnold motivated me to embrace this mindset when I was just 11 years old, back in 1987. I started working out in a freezing woodshed, out in the country, with my dad. I became a competitive bodybuilder at 15 and wound up top 10 in Canada by the time I was 25. I wasn't developing to just get big muscles though. I wanted to develop a frame for films and be able to tell stories of heroic proportions on camera. As I was bodybuilding, at age seventeen I began working in small films, eventually moving to a larger city and appearing in TV shows, X-Men movies and in pictures with Chris Rock. All that said, I have a remaining question about Schwarzenegger's perspective on vision. The wall I ran up against wasn't failing to have a vision. It was that the destination began to change. Hollywood shifted it's focus. The message of films began to be less relatable to a lot of men in particular. Audiences have gotten tired of films overloaded with CGI and lacking in the rugged principals that inspired a lot of us in the 80's and 90's (and in earlier decades). Tough guys, strong men and rugged old school values got replaced by something more politically correct. As this was happening, the pandemic and union strikes shifted peoples attention from film to TH-cam shorts and TikTok videos, making celebrity common place and watering down numbers attending theater releases. Suddenly it became harder to identify the super charged appeal of the vision that drove me into bodybuilding or into chasing film roles that fit the mold I was chasing. The end result was a paler destination than the film industry that ignited my efforts. This was reflected in the struggles studios have had in meshing with the public. Once the pandemic was over and the strikes had ended, I still went to the gym and still did my auditions, but the vision was fuzzy, because the things I loved about the industry didn't match a 1980's, 1990's or early 2000s idea of what I was going after. The workouts felt flat and the few roles that came seemed less connected to what the world was watching. It has taken work to address this, because as much as we may have a vision when we start, we still need our vision to work as the world and the times changes around us. I would love to know Schwarzenegger's view on this, because he has, no doubt, shifted his vision when one external reality evaporates and another takes its place. Some of my solutions were to become a screenwriter and develop stories I believe in. I changed my focus from maximum muscle to looking at ways to train for longevity and youthfulness. I got in front of potential film partners by starting my own social media channel... All of this was aimed at a vision for characters and stories that I believe in and that inspire others, the way stories in my earlier days inspired me. What do you think Schwarzenegger would say about fixing a vision that the world no longer fits? Like a kid in the 1800s who dreamed of building steam engines, what happens when that vision confronts the fact that steam engines no longer drive trains? What's the initial process for rebuilding a vision that is impacted by so much change?
@@southlondon86 Thank you. The 90s were a great time to compete, as the physiques were still very marketable to a general public. It helped with the film crossover and was an exciting experience to be part of the action in movies. It's a new world now though, full of opportunities and questionable options. The great thing is that many people are collaborating in new ways and it's great to cross paths with them. Cheers!

Excellent advice and psychology. I always did cardio but only started lifting seriously five years ago, at age 72. By now I am about half a century past the wowing-the-chicks-at-the-beach stage, but that's OK: my vision at 77 is to look like the most fit and muscular old geezer my eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren have ever encountered. Arnie's right: it works (and feels) great.
72 years young. My German grandfather used to tell us grandkids that, "After a point, you don't get older, your body does". I now understand these words exactly.
@@brandonbentley5453 Yup. And you can do something about the body too, not to stop it getting older, but to slow the effet of aging down and to stay strong and feeling physically good regardless. Cheers, mate. Or should I say: 'Prosit'? (Clink)
Yes, I remember my grandfather in thr late 90s before he passed telling me the exact same thing, it stuck all these yrs, he said Nate after a certain point thr only thing that ages is your body your mind still is about 35…that scared me then and now approaching 49 myself I can tell u for a fact he was correct!
ive never seen this podcast before, so i dont know if its always like this but really a GIANT compliment to the interviewer for not interrupting his interviewpartner with stupid questions or trying to put his personality above the person hes interviewing. damn we dont even see his face :D (which would be ok btw). but i hope everybody gets what im tryin to say. really a good concept. so many interviewers out there who do the complete opposite. thank u (liked and subscribed)
Exactly what I thought, my man spoke for less than 10 seconds (apart from the odd "mmm" of agreement as Arnie was speaking) and only interjected to keep the conversation going along the same subject. This is how it's done and lots of other "podcasters" should take note!
Arnold is one of the best motivational speakers I’ve heard because he boils it down to the basics and cuts out all the bs. Figure out your goal, put in the work to reach that goal, don’t let anything stop you from achieving it. Very simple yet very hard to execute
As an 18 yearold in 1978, I looked up to Arnold and tried be a bodybuilder…. Nearly 50 years later, I still look up to him but now for his fortitude. By the way, when people used to ask me why I worked? I used to and still do say “For the rest of my life!” My goal for working out was and still is to improve the future me…. I am glad to say I am retired, in excellent shape/health ( knock wood ). My wife and I enjoy a healthy sex life…😅 . And are very active in general. Were all the hours working out worth it? Hell yea…. Thanks Arnold for speaking the truth and being an inspiration for an 18 year old so many years ago.
I was a kid in the '80's and what a golden era of movies - ACTION Movies!!!!! Man - Terminator, Predator, Commando what a time to be a kid taken to the theater by his dad!!
Great video! Years ago when The Oak was developing his supplement line he put out some banging shorts like this, an interesting fusion of history, advices, and engaging conversation. Oak is an example of a modern day Bard, there's a lot of history and lore locked up in that mind, how about letting more of it out?! Oak should either add to Willoughby's "The Super Athletes" or update his own "Encyclopedia of Body Building!" Again, great video!
True interviewers would be asking these type of questions.... but journalists today provide all their questions to the celebrity several days before they meet. The celebrity then demands removal of specific questions and adds questions before agreeing to meet.
I'm seventy. I also remember an interview with Arnold who said (about exercising ):"Don't make it too complicated. Just do it !" And, yes, I agree ... it's very important, as he says, to "have a Vision" of the You you could become. Nancy
One of my great regrets is that Milius/Schwarzenegger never continued with sequels the way they should have. Ideally I feel there could have been a series of about 5 to 6 films like Rocky or Rambo where we could have seen the character grow, deal with new villains and challenges, and ultimately become King of Aquilonia. It would have been epic if done right.
@@ciaranmeeks9431 Arnold seems shy about doing it. I agree, at least one more banger by the original team. Milius is good friends with the Cohen brothers, perhaps they could take a crack at the screenplay.
@@dirkjewitt5037 The Cohens were actually once on board for a third Conan film, but abandoned it. Another director who has expressed interest is Tarantino, believe it or not. He was on Rogan a few years back and they had a good convo about how a 'true to Robert E. Howard' adaptation had never really been done. I feel like he would bring something suitably unique and 'Pulpy' to the table. Another good choice imo would be Christophe Gans who did the excellent Brotherhood of the Wolf back in the early 00's. His sense of visual storytelling, atmosphere, and action choreography could make for an excellent Conan film. Regardless, for me at least, if Arnold was ever to take one more kick at the can with it, the real lynchpin to the whole thing would be getting a writer on board who really 'gets' Conan, and who would be able to balance out a dark, Lovecraftian storyline along with a realistic view of where Conan would be in his life by say, age 70. It would have to be a lot like a Hyborian Age version of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, or - again - what Stallone did with Rocky/Rambo. There would have to be badassery of course, but also gravitas, emotional resonance, and closure for the character.
This is advice SO OBVIOUS that it shouldn't need to be said & yet there are so many people sleepwalking through life with no vision of what they want to achieve (myself included at times). It's inspiring to hear it from someone who as achieved so much in life. The wise old Arnold
I read Arnold's book many years ago and I didn't realize that he was already a millionaire before getting into any movies, and he didn't get all that money from bodybuilding, only a small fraction. He had started a construction company with other bodybuilders and invested everything in properties. He could've retired young but the man is a workaholic.
@@muffzy that's up to you. Seems foolish to ignore someone with so much experience and success because of a cherry picked, out of context quote though.
I agree with The Arnold 99%. My 1% reservation is because after reading his Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, I tried his method of self-actualization ~25 years ago in applying myself to my two greatest passions: guitar and writing. However, after 25 years and now in my 50's I realized too late that you need some innate talent to become successful at it. Doing something you love to do and have a goal is highly admirable - but make sure it is an achievable goal and your are not limited to genetics.
Don't neglect the hard work part. If the work you're doing isn't hard. Work harder. Forging steel is hard work. You must work hard to forge your steel. Your passion of purpose is the steel. The harder the work, the better the quality of your steel will be. To quote another actor's line. "It's supposed to be hard. The hard is what makes it great."
The man is so right spent 3 years in collage until I knew what I wanted to do... wasted countless hours on subjects I have never used since except math and literature. Most people/kids aren't ready nor do they know what they want and can do.
If you're never going to forget (which is kinda stupid) at least remember the next words out of his mouth: "you have the freedom to wear no mask." He wasn't trying to take your freedom, he was just calling you a schmuck. Sounds like he was right on the money yet again.
@stevem2323 Learn how to speak the language before you consider debating anything with me and stop crying like a baby...Arnold was right! Enough said...
Part of the journey is doing what you want to do not what everyone else wants you to do. Having the confidence to speak up and claim that despite what others will say about it.
:) They key is to know where you are going. Arnolds hard work and training paid off. It's been great watching the many things he's tried through the years. And also a great sense of humour. The movie Twins comes to mind.
Bullshit, he never said any such thing. In fact, the next words out of his mouth were "you have the freedom to wear no mask." Why do you people lie so much?
Porque él tuviera suerte haciendo eso no quiere decir que todo el mundo lo conseguirá repitiendo lo mismo al principio de su carrera. Cada año, millones de personas quieren realizar ese sueño, se comportan como él, y no consiguen absolutamente nada. Arnold habla por su experiencia, pero esa puede tener miles de versiones distintas. Su suerte no será la de los demás. Por cada Rocky hay miles de personas que pierden.
High schools definitely do a bad job in exposing students to various occupations so they have an idea of what they'd want to do. If kid has great teachers, the kid is lucky.
The Charles Atlas thing is very true. That program was successful because it was universal. So many young men were the downtrodden geek who wanted to improve his constitution and stand up to the bullies. Those ads were STILL in comic books when I was a teenager in the 1990s. There we were, 90s nerds reading about these buff superheroes that took on the world, while we were unpopular or invisible at school. You saw that ad with the guy getting sand kicked in his face and it immediately resonated and made you want to lift weights lol.
Also helps he had great genetics and work ethic. Most people just don't have this kind of mentality anymore. Everything is what is easy and comfortable.
"Don't go to college until you know why you're there." GOOD ADVICE!
That not enough people followed.
Where the hell was this advice when I needed it?
Really good advice. SO simple yet powerful.
I did exactly this. My first semester I was C average and I dropped out for 3 years. Once I had a purpose I went back.
I think the issue is, well I know for my case I didn't know what I wanted after High School thankfully I found something I enjoy but many people don't.

Ideally I feel there could have been a series of about 5 to 6 films like Rocky or Rambo where we could have seen the character grow, deal with new villains and challenges, and ultimately become King of Aquilonia. It would have been epic if done right.
@@ciaranmeeks9431 Arnold seems shy about doing it. I agree, at least one more banger by the original team. Milius is good friends with the Cohen brothers, perhaps they could take a crack at the screenplay.
@@dirkjewitt5037 The Cohens were actually once on board for a third Conan film, but abandoned it. Another director who has expressed interest is Tarantino, believe it or not. He was on Rogan a few years back and they had a good convo about how a 'true to Robert E. Howard' adaptation had never really been done. I feel like he would bring something suitably unique and 'Pulpy' to the table. Another good choice imo would be Christophe Gans who did the excellent Brotherhood of the Wolf back in the early 00's. His sense of visual storytelling, atmosphere, and action choreography could make for an excellent Conan film. Regardless, for me at least, if Arnold was ever to take one more kick at the can with it, the real lynchpin to the whole thing would be getting a writer on board who really 'gets' Conan, and who would be able to balance out a dark, Lovecraftian storyline along with a realistic view of where Conan would be in his life by say, age 70. It would have to be a lot like a Hyborian Age version of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, or - again - what Stallone did with Rocky/Rambo. There would have to be badassery of course, but also gravitas, emotional resonance, and closure for the character.
This is advice SO OBVIOUS that it shouldn't need to be said & yet there are so many people sleepwalking through life with no vision of what they want to achieve (myself included at times). It's inspiring to hear it from someone who as achieved so much in life. The wise old Arnold
I read Arnold's book many years ago and I didn't realize that he was already a millionaire before getting into any movies, and he didn't get all that money from bodybuilding, only a small fraction. He had started a construction company with other bodybuilders and invested everything in properties. He could've retired young but the man is a workaholic.
Here is the guy who said, "Screw your freedom."
Haha your soft as a snow flake 🤡
Yes...... Was there a point or were you just repeating the words?
@@TheJimicusArnold shouldn't be taken seriously?
@@muffzy that's up to you. Seems foolish to ignore someone with so much experience and success because of a cherry picked, out of context quote though.
When Arnold is speaking they did the best thing possible. The STFU and listened.
“Screw your freedom!” F%#k Arnie!
I agree with The Arnold 99%. My 1% reservation is because after reading his Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, I tried his method of self-actualization ~25 years ago in applying myself to my two greatest passions: guitar and writing. However, after 25 years and now in my 50's I realized too late that you need some innate talent to become successful at it. Doing something you love to do and have a goal is highly admirable - but make sure it is an achievable goal and your are not limited to genetics.
Screw your freedom - Arnold
I lost so much respect for him when he pulled that BS. I guess that nazi heritage isn’t as far off as he pretended.
@@robpolaris7272 yep. Was like a punch in the gut when i saw a hero of mine say that.
@@robpolaris7272what a retarded thing to say. Did you even bother listening to ANYTHING else in that same speech?
The guy that said Screw your freedom is given a platform on your podcast? Screw this guy.
was about to comment the same thing - jocko weak af for doing it
@@mrkwrbl Yea, I would never give anyone a platform that said that.
"You're 18 years old & you don't know what you want to do later on in life?" I had no idea what I wanted at that age.
Don't neglect the hard work part. If the work you're doing isn't hard. Work harder. Forging steel is hard work.
You must work hard to forge your steel. Your passion of purpose is the steel. The harder the work, the better the quality of your steel will be.
To quote another actor's line.
"It's supposed to be hard. The hard is what makes it great."
The man is so right spent 3 years in collage until I knew what I wanted to do... wasted countless hours on subjects I have never used since except math and literature. Most people/kids aren't ready nor do they know what they want and can do.
"to hell with your freedom, get the shot"... cant believe a man who's entire life was built on severe self discipline would have the nerve to say that
That's not what he said.
Work hard, but work hard towards a goal!
Working hard in isolation moves you nowhere and will just exhaust you.
You've got to have a goal.
Arnold is Awesome!!!
He didn't mention debauchery, child abuse or social engineering so the title is wrong.
Joe Jackson sang "You can't get what you want, till you know what you want" in 1984. It's still true today.
screw your freedoms,never forget.
Damn! Is that living in your head??
It was the authoritarian coming out in him
@@TylerD288🤡
If you're never going to forget (which is kinda stupid) at least remember the next words out of his mouth: "you have the freedom to wear no mask." He wasn't trying to take your freedom, he was just calling you a schmuck. Sounds like he was right on the money yet again.
“Screw your freedom”…..
Chaun Connery has always been my Favriot James Bond.
"Screw your freedom"
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
he apologized for this i have decided to forgive him, and watched predator again
He was saying Safety First. Let's not get carried away ffs...
@@Bigbencher Bullshit, he was wrong and spit on everything he believe.
@@KennyG-qh8jc Where? All i see nowadays is woke cult with him.
@stevem2323 Learn how to speak the language before you consider debating anything with me and stop crying like a baby...Arnold was right! Enough said...
My passion? Weed and PlayStation. Thank you, Sir, you are an inspiration!
The vision has to be SPECIFIC.
Ine step closer work hard you can't get discouraged, its impossible, know where your going the key is know where your going
Great talk, but the title is very misleading.
Part of the journey is doing what you want to do not what everyone else wants you to do. Having the confidence to speak up and claim that despite what others will say about it.
Anyone can follow this advice and become the world champion bodybuilder and number one action star. I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t do it.
Ok so not a word about the title…nice job
:) They key is to know where you are going. Arnolds hard work and training paid off. It's been great watching the many things he's tried through the years. And also a great sense of humour. The movie Twins comes to mind.
At 1-09 ...he says Sally Fields , Mandella effect , it,s now Sally Field !!!!!
Arnold forever
Arnold for president
Arnold made it and continues to make it.
He emits extreme motivation. And very wise
Arnold is a legend, simple as that
"Screw your freedom." Arnold Schwarzenegger
taken completely out of context this of course sounds bad
@@mercatorjubio3804 Give us context then rain Man. You can't cuz you know it was about the jab.
@@JamesPiccone you know the context, but are just trying to get a rise out of people = classic trollbait
Get a life.
@@mercatorjubio3804 Bro your butt hurt comment makes no sense. If you know it's bait then don't bite .
Always people in countries that have never invaded cry about freedom. Wonder what the first people would say
"We know where were Going" POSITIVE ENERGY as simple as that. Genius Advice
My brother got to meet the Governator when he was filming Conan wayyy back on a trip to Hawaii with my grandma.
If Arnold was in a position of power 3 years ago, he would've thrown you and your family in jail for not wearing a mask.
Bullshit, he never said any such thing. In fact, the next words out of his mouth were "you have the freedom to wear no mask." Why do you people lie so much?
Amazing life Arnold.
Of course it makes it a lot easier to chase your dreams when you've already made millions from real estate.
It's called prepping to achieve.
If it’s so easy why don’t you make millions from real estate and chase your dreams…?
@@southlondon86 Is that what you did?
Screw my freedoms ... right Arnold? 🤷🏻♂️🤨
Legend.
This man is inspiration
Every time I hear Arnold, I learn.
Porque él tuviera suerte haciendo eso no quiere decir que todo el mundo lo conseguirá repitiendo lo mismo al principio de su carrera. Cada año, millones de personas quieren realizar ese sueño, se comportan como él, y no consiguen absolutamente nada. Arnold habla por su experiencia, pero esa puede tener miles de versiones distintas. Su suerte no será la de los demás. Por cada Rocky hay miles de personas que pierden.
My all time favorite 80s actor
High schools definitely do a bad job in exposing students to various occupations so they have an idea of what they'd want to do. If kid has great teachers, the kid is lucky.
" stupid visions, but they work " as
I tend to listen when Arnold talks
Not everybody knows what he/she wants at 18 and we shouldn't make young people feel bad about that.
Arnold is a national treasure. He must be protected.
From the guy who said" fuck your freedom."
The Charles Atlas thing is very true. That program was successful because it was universal. So many young men were the downtrodden geek who wanted to improve his constitution and stand up to the bullies. Those ads were STILL in comic books when I was a teenager in the 1990s. There we were, 90s nerds reading about these buff superheroes that took on the world, while we were unpopular or invisible at school. You saw that ad with the guy getting sand kicked in his face and it immediately resonated and made you want to lift weights lol.
So appreciate this great un-edited clip of Arnold…
We all live long enough to see our heroes. Become films make no mistake about it as man as a film.
This was awesome to listen to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This guy has accomplished more in one lifetime than most people could do in 3
The sand in the face was a cartoon in back of the old comic books
He’s got the best grunts and groans in Hollywood lol
Have you seen the 90's Japanese commercials starring Arnold?!? Hahaha, well of course not.. GO WATCH EM NAO!!!
He got paid $1 million per commercial in 1980 dollars.
Also helps he had great genetics and work ethic. Most people just don't have this kind of mentality anymore. Everything is what is easy and comfortable.
You would be surprised how much we have because of Lucille Ball
“Skrew your freedom”. What a POS!
was good advice though
Arnold was juiced to the gills, that's why he got noticed.
And he was incredibly lucky on his way
About Hollywood not so much....
in short , you have to have a "destination " in mind , how else will you know if you're there or not?.
