296. You Are Not Your Results: 3 Lessons On Success
I recently had the chance to revisit my high school, where I graduated 30 years ago, and talk to their young athletes about what success beyond the field looks like.
As I told them, there will be a day when you play your sport for the last time, whether your sports career ends in high school, college, or you go pro. What do you do then?
You take what you’ve learned and continue being successful off the field.
Tune in this week for the 3 lessons I taught those high school athletes about success on and off the field.

293. What Is A Fiduciary PBM? (with Ken Kemker)
This week on Bullpen Sessions I dove into the world of fiduciary PBMs with my special guest Ken Kemker.
Ken is the co-founder of DisclosedRX, a company that differentiates itself by being a “full disclosure” PBM, as opposed to a “transparent” PBM; listen to the episode to find out why that’s such a huge difference, and why “transparency” in the PBM world doesn’t actually mean being transparent.
We also discussed Ken living in French Lick, Indiana, the hometown of the great Larry Bird, as well as Ken’s background in supply chain management and how that experience has benefited him in the PBM world.

291. Mastering Discipline: The Key To Success On And Off The Field (with Colton Storla)
Colton Storla (North Risk Partners) joined me on the show this week for a podcast focused on discipline and self-improvement.
Colton was a “hometown hero”, who scored a record 7 rushing touchdowns in high school, before having some college football success. After graduating, he was recruited to work as a strength and conditioning coach at Iowa.
Through his football and coaching career, there was one constant for Colton: discipline. This week, we talk about why discipline is so key in an industry where success isn’t guaranteed and you need to put in the hard work every day to get where you want to be.

Customer Reviews
Best marketing advice for free
I've been following Andy for a number of years and have seen my business change by following his free advice and attending his free seminars.
My company ended up hiring him and I found the Complete Game Consulting workshops to be extremely valuable in guiding my marketing and branding efforts.
Definitely make this one of your go-to podcasts if you sell a financial product. Andy doesn’t hold anything back and tells you the same stuff on this podcast and gives you all the info he would if you were to hire him or take his online class.
His class and consulting is worth it though if you have the resources.
Infectious Enthusiasm
Great podcast with a host that truly wants to help people level up. Andy's enthusiasm is infectious. Authentic to the bone, this is a can't miss podcast
Power of Vulnerability
I love what Andy is doing and all the great content he puts out including this podcast. One of the insights that he really taught me was the power of vulnerability. While it’s fun to hear the success stories. For me I connect more with folks that are real about the times they failed and how they dealt with it.
