    MYM 235 | Andrew Miller on Redefining Success Beyond Money

    Send us a text In this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Andrew Miller to explore the one element that truly sets businesses up for long-term success  and why money alone is a dangerously incomplete definition of success. Andrew challenges the traditional view of achievement and shares why so many “successful” people still feel stressed, disconnected, and unfulfilled. Together, they unpack the business enjoyment model, the role of vulnerability in building meaningful relationships, and how aligning your mind, heart, and gut changes not just how you do business  but how you live your life. This conversation is a powerful reminder that business growth is inseparable from personal growth. What to expect in this episode: (00:00) – Why success doesn’t eliminate stress  (04:30) – The danger of defining success by money alone  (08:20) – Purpose as the anchor for business and life  (12:40) – Vulnerability and the richness of relationships  (16:10) – Looking out for yourself vs. looking out for others  (19:30) – The Three Nots that drive human behaviour  (22:50) – Why business is really a journey of self-discovery About Andrew Miller Andrew Miller is an author, accountant, coach, and change practitioner who has spent over a decade exploring what it truly means to enjoy life and business. Despite being considered “successful” by society’s standards, Andrew experienced deep dissatisfaction  until he got clear on his purpose. He is the author of seven books, holds diplomas in business coaching, life coaching, and psychology, and is trained in several deep-change therapeutic approaches. Andrew is on a mission to redefine success as something far richer than financial gain alone.

He walks through how he fills rooms with the right people, why some ads fail miserably, and the wild story behind increasing a sale by 3,221% from a single $4 ad.
