First and foremost, I'm sorry. I made a promise and commitment at the beginning of the year to record and publish new podcast episodes every week for 2023. And I fell short. I haven't recorded a new episode in four months. And I take ownership and accountability for not following through. The past four months have been very difficult. But not an excuse. And here we are. 30 days left in 2023. And I have an awesome exercise to create positive momentum ending this year and into 2024. Changing the conversation. Flipping the switch. No more boring surface-level conversations during the holidays which lack depth. Listen to the full episode to find out exactly how we're going to do it!

Sometimes in life we do what we need to do, not what we want to do.  And recently, I made the decision to move back to Omaha, Nebraska and help my brother run the family business - Host Coffee Service.  When I graduated from college, we had 10 employees and doing around $2 million in annual revenue.  Today, we have 50 employees and doing around $16 million to put it in context.  So I recently made the decision to move from Bend, Oregon to Omaha, Nebraska - A very hard decision.  And the opportunity to work in the family business, it's something I never thought I would do.  And needless to say, we are a rapidly growing company and myself - an owner of the company - with a responsibility to do everything possible to create a sustainable, profitable, empowering, and supportive business model. and a culture for our customers, employees, and our family.  This is not a decision that I wanted to make.  I'm gonna be really honest with everybody listening.  All of you, my audience over the last five years, I've always shared authentically, honestly, with vulnerability. and sharing with you this decision.  It's not a decision I wanted to make.  But it's a decision I needed to make.  You see, it would be much easier and less stressful to stay on the West Coast and continue teaching yoga and breath work and being a full-time transformational coach.  Running away from all the traumas and shadow part of my family dynamic - the generational trauma, addiction, shame, the unhealthy patterns, the resentments, the grief, the sadness.  My brother has never asked for my help until a few weeks ago..... And I said yes. And here's the best part, I still have the flexibility to continue my transformational coaching with all my clients.  My brother and I worked out an agreement where I'm going to be working Monday through Thursday for the family business, focusing on company culture, employee support and morale, strategy, sales and marketing.  And Fridays and Saturdays are allocated for my podcast, my retreats, my transformational coaching and clients that I work with one-on-one.  And to have that flexibility and support and being able to come back and do both was the reason I said yes.  Because without having two days dedicated to my passion and of helping support others and creating content to inspire hope and bring on guests for my podcasts to share their stories of the positive impacts they're having in the community. The opportunity to serve my coaching clients one-on-one.  To empower others to create a life of maximum success, significance, and fulfillment. If you want support and accountability, I'm here to serve you. Together, locking arms together, one day at a time!

Men, do you want to spend four days off the grid, out of the matrix, disconnecting from the rat race and daily stresses of go, go, go, and do, do, do?

We have an Airbnb outside of town, a private chef, whitewater rafting, epic hikes in nature. Sitting around the fire at night, telling stories, sharing meals together, doing deep self-development. Creating deep, meaningful relationships. Men who have come to retreats of mine in the past have said, these retreats are some of the most life-changing experiences of their lives. Friendships formed in these retreats are some of the most deep and meaningful friendships possible. These shared experiences that wouldn't be possible because it's so easy to get caught up in the obligations and responsibilities that we men have. And we've never had more responsibility as men in today's society Being leaders of ourselves, our families, our communities, our companies, physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, financial responsibilities. It's never been greater. And it's so easy to be burdened and weighed down by these responsibilities as men. And that's why I facilitate and host these retreats. So if this is you, I'm calling you forward. This is your invitation to join us, Brotherhood and Bend, Thursday, September 21st through Sunday, September 24th. The investment is $1,625.

FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real! I want you to meet Ted, my Coaching Client, a real hero, a loving father, hard-working, real estate agent, servant leader, in the community, who came to this country as a young boy from Russia, and has literally worked his way up in life to create the American dream. When Ted came to me to start working together, he told me about his fear of driving on the freeways. And living in San Diego as a real estate agent, one of the largest counties in the country, I realized the amount of precious time he was losing every day, literally, by driving on back roads getting from appointment to appointment, from one side of town to the other, taking two hours in transit, for what? Otherwise would have been a 20 minute commute. All day. Every day. He was literally letting fear ruin his life and get in the way of what he loved - spending time with his daughter and friends. Ted was stuck in his car, wasting time, money, energy, and resources. I fear that was keeping him playing small, stuck, overwhelmed, without agency or freedom in his life.  Ted and I started to work through, not around, his fear of driving on freeways. We faced it head on. We uncovered the false evidence appearing real. I would literally be in the car with him, every week, as we broke through this limiting belief that was ruining his life, family, job, and everything he had worked so hard to build. He's slowly gained more confidence, self-esteem, and empowerment which translated into every other area of his life. Together we created a plan that allowed Ted to be the hero of his own story and overcame his biggest fear. Gradually the fear lost its power, and Ted was able to create a new story around, driving on the freeways. A new truth that aligned with his values and highest good. A story in truth that serves, supports, and empowers his goals and vision of the future to be his best self.  Ted now enjoys a new freedom, a new happiness, a new life perspective, a new possibility for what Ted can create in his life – one of maximum success, significance, and fulfillment. Maximizing his true and full potential. Saving tons of money in gas, saving tons of time he now uses with family, friends, new work, projects, and travel. In fact, Ted started taking road trips up and down the coast of California with his daughter visiting places that before were not accessible. He also started flying on airplanes around the world. This is relevant, because Ted also had a fear of flying before we started working together. In fact, he hadn't been on an airplane in many many years. And because of his work, overcoming his fear of driving on freeways, Ted had the courage and confidence and empowerment to overcome his fear of flying. It's all connected. Ted's love of world travel has taken him to countries he thought wasn't possible because of his fear. not anymore. Ted got his life back. His freedom. Because he had the courage to face is fear head on and ask for help. My question to you, what is your greatest fear, and how is it holding you back from living the life you were meant to live. A life of abundance, health, prosperity, wealth, freedom, and wholeness. You were meant to not just survive, but thrive! You get to create your own story as the hero just like Ted.  If you want more support in overcoming your fear, click on link below, to schedule a free 30-minute connection call today. calendly.com/andrew-1592 You can also follow me on Instagram to get daily support and inspiration: @Positive_Impact_Andrew

"The first thing we do when we come into the world as newborns is inhale - our first breath. The last thing we do before we die is exhale - our last breath.

New research from Andrew Huberman (@HubermanLab) shows the dynamic benefits of physiological sighing - More effective than box-breathing and mediation! This form go physiological sighing improved mood and autonomic regulation and lowers stress. It assists in better sleep, improves heart rate variability, and various aspects of physiological arousal around the clock. The technique: two inhales through the nose to lungs full, followed by a full exhale out through the mouth to lungs empty.

"Who do I need to be to effect the adaptive changes I want to see." -Dr. Seefeld  Dr. Seefeld is the Medical Director, Emergency, Department, at Speare Memorial Hospital in New Hampshire. He is uniquely qualified as leader in the addiction field considering his own personal experience battling addiction.  WOW! One of the most powerful and value-added podcast episodes we've ever done. Whether you're sober-curios, struggling with addiction. thriving in recovery, or a parent of a child with an unhealthy relationship with social media and their cell phone, this episode is for you.  We break-down the difference between thought addictions, emotional addictions, and behavior addictions. And the impact ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) has on our addictive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors - more so than genetics, brain circuitry, and environment.  We are not our thoughts and emotions. And we always have control over our behaviors. So instead of focusing on the symptoms of alcohol, drugs, gaming, sex, eating/not eating, we can instead focus on changing our behaviors, which alter our neural pathways and neuroplasticity, by practicing new ways of being. Then through more repetition and practice we strengthen and create new habits to replace the unhealthy habits with negative consequences.  If you want more help and support creating new habits, behaviors, and ways of being, please send me a message to schedule a 30-minute connection call. Together, we uncover the behaviors which are blocking you from becoming your best self, discover the negative consequences those behaviors are having in your life, as well as lives of those around you, and discarding the old ways of being to create new and healthy behaviors.  As a certified transformational life coach, I specialize in behavior change. And I look forward to the opportunity to support, serve, and empower you.   Reach me at: Positive_Impact_Andrew at IG. TheAndrewSchultz.com Also, you can follow Dr. Seefeld at Twitter @Globaldoc77

Inspired by John Maxwell's book, "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth." Guard Your Self-Talk Stop Comparing Yourself to Others Move Beyond Your Limiting Beliefs Add Value to Others Do the Right Thing, Even if it's the Hard Thing Practice a Small Discipline Daily in a Specific Area of Your Life Celebrate Small Victories Embrace a Positive Vision for Your Life Based on What You Value Practice the One-Word Strategy Take Responsibility For Your Life "I wish I could sit down with you, hear your story, and encourage you specifically in your journey. If you've had a difficult time and you don't feel good about yourself, I want to tell you that you do have value. You matter. Your life can change, and you can make a difference-no matter what kind of background you have or where you came from. No matter what traumas or mistakes you've made, you can learn and grow. You can become the person you have the potential to be. You just need to believe in yourself to get started. And every time you take a step, think a positive thought, make a good choice, practice a small discipline, you're moving one step closer. Just keep moving forward, and keep believing."

"How can you die well?" -Steve Safranek That was the question Steve posed to our audience in today's podcast episode. Most of us think of death as negative and too morbid. On the contrary! Steve and I discuss how this question is critical to living a deep, meaningful, and fulfilling life. Did we live? Did we love? Did we matter? From Frito-Lay, to full wheel pose, Steve takes us on a ride of how his book came to fruition - including the journey from football field, to the corporate world, to personal training and the yoga mat. Steve is embodying the mature masculinity and giving us other men permission to forego the 9-5, cush corporate job, salary, benefits, 401(k), bonus, ultra-competitive, zero-sum "I win-you lose", and keeping up with the Jones's mentality into something much greater.... In this episode, we also discuss the importance of therapy, mental wellness, and different ways to investing in our health - our greatest wealth. We chat about nutrition, movement, meditation, breath work, and other self care modalities to help level-up. We also cover the benefits of being well-read and how much we can learn simply by reading. Highly recommend you buying Steve's book, ""The Sh!t No One Wants To Hear", on amazon today. And if you want to connect directly with me, send me a DM, @The.Andrew.Schultz on IG.

This is a replay of a recent episode I did as a guest on the University of Adversity podcast with my buddy, Lance Essihos. I highly recommend you follow and subscribe to his podcast (as well as mine). He has amazing guests and conversations with thought leaders who I greatly admire and respect. I hope you enjoy this episode. Andrew Schultz is an international speaker, facilitator, coach, podcaster, and mentor. His teachings and vulnerable online offerings are enjoyed daily by 23,000+ readers on Instagram and his weekly podcast is downloaded in over 85 countries worldwide. Andrew's favorite coaching mantra, "Be the change you want to see in the world" is a foundation of all his offerings. On today's episode, Andrew shares his journey from addiction and rock bottom in 2015 and losing the will to love, to thriving in recovery celebrating over seven years of sobriety today. He now leads with an open heart and vulnerability that has become his Super-Power. Andrew opened up about how his past unresolved issues affected his relationships and how he overcame them. He also shared some valuable tips on how to incorporate healthy habits into our daily lives and ways to heal from our traumas. What advice do you have for someone who is struggling with adversity right now? "We must understand that trauma is not our responsibility, but our healing is. We need to have the willingness to seek help and surround ourselves with people who can help us."

I was recently a guest on "Inside the Mastermind" and got the opportunity to share the story of why I started this podcast. This episode is the audio version of that interview. Short and sweet.

Celebrating my one year relationship with Melissa! What did I do different in this relationship than other relationships…Everything! ➡️Picking up the phone and talking versus hiding behind text messages. ➡️Making the effort to drive to see her versus expecting her to come to me. ➡️FaceTime every night before bed. ➡️Text messages in the morning letting her know I'm thinking about her. ➡️Investing in a money coach to talk openly about our finances and feel safe to have honest conversations about our expectations about $ and who pays for what. ➡️Investing in a therapist to better understand our attachment styles and learning language and tools to work through conflict while feeling safe. ➡️Investing in my own healing journey with plant medicine to heal unresolved trauma from the past which blocked me from intimacy. ➡️Invest in vacations every three months and making adventure an integral part of our relationship with Epic trips to Bend, Yosemite, and Big Sur. ➡️Leaning in, having difficult conversations, and working through conflict with language to repair and overcome versus avoiding which I did in the last. Nothing changes if nothing changes. I'm committed to continue taking new actions to create new experiences and possibilities in my most important relationship. And I truly believe the best is yet to come! Men, this is what's possible when we do the work. To go from selfishness, fear, and immature boy psychology to stepping into our King, Warrior Spirit and power - our healthy masculinity - to make sure she feels safe knowing we got her! I am truly grateful for the deep level of love, connection, and intimacy with Melissa that I didn't think was possible because I seriously thought I was broken. I'm not broken. And neither are you!

How do you identify the difference between our Strategic Self and True Self? By speaking up, telling the truth, and embracing conflict! In his book, "Getting To Zero", Jayson Gaddis gives us a playbook on how to start embodying our True Self and resolving our inner conflict that affects each and every one of us. For example, my Strategic Self might value what you, and others, think of me. And my True Self values me being true to myself, even if it means you reject me. If you're a conflict avoider, you probably value keeping the peace and not expressing yourself in certain scenarios. But this strategy keeps you disconnected from your True Self and over time affects what you value; surprisingly, it impacts the direction you go in life as well as how you show up in your high-stakes relationships. This episode will help you get started on embodying more of your True Self. And if you want more support, coaching, or mentorship, please send me a message to schedule a free 30-minute discovery call together. I empower others to take responsibility and create new possibilities in their life with vulnerability and connection. I help people step into their power, maximize their human potential, and optimize their health and wellness. If you're ready to become your True Self, I'm ready to be your coach! @The.Andrew.Schultz www.TheAndrewSchultz.com

42% of U.S adults are considered obese, per the CDC! Are you kidding me! That's almost 1 out of every 2 adults! Obesity kills around 500,000 people every year in the U.S and kills more Americans than smoking. Obesity isn't just killing millions of people. It's also giving lots of them Alzheimer's first. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's. Meaning some of the leading causes of preventable and premature death are all caused by obesity.

I was recently a guest on the Human Potential podcast, with my buddy, Eric Leider. I hope you enjoy. Andrew Schultz is a Mindfulness & Life Coach, Breath-Work & Cold Water Mentor, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Podcast Host. What's unique about him is his journey to get to where he is today. Most specifically, the way that he is using his “mess” to be his “message”. After hitting rock bottom in 2015, he found being of service to be his purpose in life … and hasn't looked back since. In this episode, we dive deep into his work as a Mindfulness & Life Coach, several tips on managing multiple streams of income, and the importance of community. Finally, make sure to listen in closer towards the end as Andrew explains how we can all channel the untapped potential within us. So whether you're interested in being of service & finding community, the science behind breathwork, or the ins and outs of what being a coach entails, this episode is for you. As always, we are so grateful that you are listening.

I don't get interviewed very often. But when I do, it's a great opportunity to share my journey and inspire hope for others. If you're struggling, please listen. If you know someone else who is struggling, please share this episode with them. My mess is now my Message. Our greatest life challenges become our greatest asset and Super Power to help others. Thanks to the good folks at Canvas Rebel for the interview and article. Enjoy!

My invitation is to listen to this meditation every day for the next 21 days. After each day's meditation, grab a pen and journal, and write down 10 new possibilities you want to create in your life. I've been doing this for the last 21 days and I'm blown away by all the new connections, opportunities, and possibilities that are flowing into my life. Which is why I wanted to share this meditation and mindfulness journaling prompt with all of you. Please let me know your results after the 21 days. I'm rooting for you! @The.Andrew.Schultz www.TheAndrewSchultz.com andrew@theandrewschultz.com

“I haven't been able to look at myself in the mirror for the last five years, and today I like what I see.” Most of my clients are at war with themselves. This is how I help them. This was an actual quote from one of my coaching clients. The majority of my clients have one thing in common: They are at war with themselves. They're dominated by negative self-talk, limiting beliefs, stress, and fear. So the first thing I do with all my coaching clients is uncover what is getting in the way of them becoming their highest selves and maximizing their potential: those limiting beliefs, the old stories we bring to the present, the unhealthy patterns, and overwhelming stress, fear, and anxiety. “Uncover, discover, and discard.” The second thing we do is discover the negative impact that these things are causing on my clients' lives and the lives around them. Finally, we discard. We let go of the past, the negative beliefs, and the worn-out stories. After that, we create new ways of being, positive habits to replace the old ones. Uncover, discover, and discard. With that framework, I empower my clients to find new possibilities in their lives. You can get what Paul got, a loving and compassionate relationship with yourself. You deserve it. Click on the link below to schedule a 30-minute discovery call, so we can talk about your possibilities and how I can help you reach them. https://www.theandrewschultz.com/contact/

What is the difference between guilt and shame? Guilt - "I did something bad." Shame - "I am bad." Shame is a feeling that many of us deal with. It can be paralyzing because it's not something we talk about openly and it has the power to cause deep shame in those that experience it. The cycle of shame can be a vicious one, where feelings that stem from shame lead to more shame until the victim becomes isolated and starts believing they're unworthy. The shame cycle might look like this: Engage in destructive behavior Feel shame, guilt, and deep regret Ruminate on the destructive behavior which deepens the feeling of shame even more Try to comfort yourself by give into same bad habits, addiction, and destructive behavior Three things that shame needs to grow: secrecy silence judgement Three steps to break the cycle of shame: Talk to yourself like you talk to someone you love Reach out to someone you trust Tell your story. Shame cannot survive being spoken Shame can be a paralyzing feeling because it's not something we talk about openly and it has the power to cause deep shame in those that experience it. The cycle of shame can be a vicious one, where feelings that stem from shame lead to more shame until the victim becomes isolated and starts believing they're unworthy. The good news is that we can break the cycle of shame and start to feel better about ourselves again. It takes time, patience, and effort, but it's definitely possible. Remember that you're not alone in this and there are people who care about you and want to help. If you're feeling lost or don't know where to start, please don't hesitate to reach out for help. You're worth it. @TheAndrewSchultz www.TheAndrewSchultz.com Andrew@TheAndrewSchultz.com
