Andy Frisella
Hosted by Andy Frisella
An entrepreneur's aggressive, no-filter podcast covering business mindset, personal accountability, and right-leaning commentary on current events.
A podcast with two distinct formats that alternate throughout the week. "Q&AF" episodes feature Frisella delivering aggressive, direct-to-listener advice on business, discipline, and developing a winning mindset, framed as tough love. "Cruise The Internet" (CTI) episodes are co-hosted conversations with DJ Johnson, offering unfiltered, often inflammatory commentary on political news, social issues, and viral videos from a conservative viewpoint.
“The show's primary distinction is Frisella's confrontational, profanity-laden delivery and the stark blend of practical business coaching with hard-right political commentary. Unlike many business podcasts, it deliberately alienates listeners who don't subscribe to his specific 'no excuses' ideology and political views.”

Episodes are typically long-form, raw conversations between Frisella and his co-host, DJ. The Q&AF format is a solo monologue answering listener questions with extreme candor. The CTI format is a more casual, two-person commentary show reacting to videos and news stories, often with a sarcastic and mocking tone.
