In this episode, we discuss Andy’s work with football teams

Wisdom is a deep understanding of principle.

• You can always gain deeper understanding in a continuing process.
• Until you know why a principle works, you can’t use it to its fullest potential.

Andy will work with just about any coach.

• Some are more receptive than others.
• There is always an end to his work with a team.

Most people stop learning after experiencing success.

• They think their success will last forever.  

Tune in to hear Andy’s “locker room speech.”

In this episode, we conclude our discussion of the story of The Traveler’s Gift. 

The Traveler’s Gift shaped Andy’s career.

• Andy continues to gain a deeper understanding of the 7 Decisions. 

The publisher wasn’t interested, the bookstores weren’t interested, and the public was unaware.

• Andy knew that God hadn’t taken him this far just to fail.
• He bought copies from the publisher and gave them away.
• Eventually, the book ended up in the hands of Robin Roberts, who featured it on Good Morning America’s “Read This!” book club segment.
• Andy enjoys writing a lot more now that he’s seen the end result of what can happen in people’s lives.

Andy cares more about getting his books to people who haven’t read them than pumping out more books just to have them out there.

• Andy has given away 20,000 copies of The Traveler’s Gift.
• Over 2,500 schools use his free curriculums.

Tune in to hear about Andy’s meeting with...David Ponder.

In this episode, we discuss the story of The Traveler’s Gift.

The Traveler’s Gift wasn’t successful right away.

• Fifty-one publishers rejected it over three and a half years.
• When the book was finally published, it didn’t sell through its initial 10,000 copies.
• At one point, Andy lost an entire chapter and had to rewrite it from scratch.

It took Andy about a year to write the book.

• Andy knew the ending and main points before he started.
• Andy asked his friends which historical figures to include.
• He wanted to write something to leave behind for his kids if he died before they had a chance to know him. 

Kenny Rogers was critical.

• Kenny encouraged Andy to use the 7 Decisions in his show.
• This helped Andy realize that he could talk about serious topics.

In this episode, we discuss Mac’s new book, The Trust Protocol.

Forge credibility through integrity and action.

• Focus on being a reliable person.
• Connect with other reliable people.
• There is no community without accountability and no accountability without community.

Trust is critical to any community.

• “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24).
• If you want to create a community or business that people will be loyal to, build trust.

Everyone has experienced betrayal.

• If we’re not careful, we can let betrayal define our future in ways we’re not even aware of.
• Forgive: people can sense bitterness in others and won’t do business with them.

Trust is critical to parenting

• Explain to your kids why you’re telling them what you’re telling them.
• If they learn to trust you as toddlers, they’ll know that you have their best interest at heart as adults.

In this episode, we answer a listener's question on energy. 

Energy comes from wise choices and working within your passion.

• Be intentional about your choices; don’t just have good intentions.
• Working within your passion can give you the energy to push yourself to exhaustion.
• Make little adjustments to make sure you’re aligned with your passion.

Energy can be seen as a divine gift.

• Everybody has the opportunity to work within their passion, but they must choose to do so.

In this episode, we answer a listener's question on change.

People believe that you have to hit rock bottom to change.

• Hitting rock bottom can be what facilitates change but it's not necessary.
• This can happen and thus it is true but not The Truth.

You can live your life without ever approaching rock bottom.

• Figure out ways to open your eyes before you get to rock bottom.
• Direction, not intention, determines destination.

People use intention as an excuse.

• They say things like, “I never intended for this to happen.”

• If you work harder on yourself than on your job, you’ll go from making a living to making a fortune.

Have a heartfelt spirit of gratitude.

• If you’re full of gratitude, you can’t be full of entitlement or depression.

Delay short-term gratification.

• Be willing to put in your dues.
• Live within your means.
• You’ll reap a harvest if you don’t give up.
