The Best!

Since I‘ve been listening to Andy‘s Podcast my Life has changed so much for the better! I find myself in the stories and in what he says somehow. It gives me drive and hope and it just simply feels likes coming home.. like someone gets you and gives you permission to finally do what you gotta do and show yourself! So much value and authenticity! He puts so much love in what he does and it shows! Thanks so much!!

Better than therapy!

Thank you so much for you podcast! It helped me letting go my old job and going into my new. I started working as an abstract painter and illustrator now and living my dream! I am finally free and doing what fullfills my heart and soul. It is because of you giving me a pep talk every week! Better than therapy or any coaching! You are the best! Thank you and keep up the good work
