Good morning, listeners, Happy, happy, Happy New Year. I am hopeful and I'm sure that y'all had a good New Year's Day because we are today on January second, and I can't even imagine, like, you know, we've already said goodbye to twenty

1:30 twenty three. So on New Year's Eve, what we were doing was we were going out with our friends and we were expecting a lot of crowds at the place we were going. So what we decided to do was like, okay, let's go there a little bit earlier. And so I always make a point. It's not that it happens automatically, but I make a make an effort to be open to different things. So the idea was to go and park somewhere else and then go to the place we were going to go and eat. So what I did was I told my partner, you know, why don't we just kind of drive around it. If it is full, it's okay, you know, we'll go and park further away. But lo and behold, it was as if when I had placed that intention that Okay, let's just go check it out. A car pulled out, we parked in, and we got the parking right across the restaurant. So sometimes just being open and not assuming really really helps. So one thing that I want to encourage you to do in the new years, which I'm doing it as well as being open to possibilities rather than assuming, oh you know what,

3:04 this is not going to work, give it a shot. What's the worst come that's going to happen is that, for example, like you know, we would not have found a parking spot, we would have gone back. So be open to possibilities. And I want to invite you to get our books Expert to Influencer and Entrepreneur's Gardens. So as a matter of fact, just recently, as I was looking at LinkedIn, somebody that I didn't even know had listed Expert to Influencer in the top five books that she had read in twenty twenty three. And it always gives my heart that joy that all the time and effort and the heart that we as authors put in our books is making a difference somewhere. So when you get those two books, they are going to change your lives and it will change your life. It will do my good because it's changing your life, and the book is all about creating impact. And then thirdly, we will be helping entrepreneurs across the globe, so it's a win win situation. And remember to keep that kind of circle going. Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean that we forget about kindness. Keep the kind of circle going and be sure to spend and

4:34 over every month to be kind to someone, whether it is done in a day or spread out through the month. Let's bring in our guest. Welcome Andrea. Thank you for having me. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Andrea. So usually we go back and start in the childhood. So tell us, do you recall a moment from your childhood that's still done ZOUG for you today. Yes, I have a favorite childhood memory and I might tear up telling it to you, But I was probably, I don't know, maybe five or six. Yeah, And we lived in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia, by a beautiful small college called Haverford College, and my dad and I used to go there and just go for walks. And I have a memory of going there with my dad. There was a beautiful little stream, you know, where you had to like walk across the rocks to get to the other side. And I have such a vivid memory of walking across those rocks and my dad holding out his hand to me. You know, I was a little bit unsteady for a moment, and him, you know, holding my hand and us walking across those rocks together. That's like my favorite childhood memory. And it's so vivid in my mind. And it's funny that you asked that, because I was just asking my daughter yesterday what is her favorite childhood memory, and I told her what mine was. So it's very

6:05 very relative. Thank you. Oh absolutely, And it's amazing. So many times we think that unless we give our loved ones those big gifts. And it goes the same way whether you're an employer and an entrepreneur. It's about the gestures. It's about that loving kindness that you extend to people in your circle. Yeah. So as you grew up, where did your interest take you? Music, music, and the theater. I loved the theater and that's where I ended up getting my degree in music, and I studied I studied classical, I study jazz. I was in musical theater. I kind of ran the gamut, and that's really where my heart, you know, my heart was on the stage. My heart. I love music. There's just such a you know, music has an energy to it, a resonance frequency, and I was always very attracted to that. And did you play any music instruments? Not very well, Divvy, I must be honest.

7:08 My instrument was the voice, and that was really where my concentration was. I tried, you know, a little, I had to learn piano. I wasn't very good, but I was really a voice concentration. Oh fantastic. And what type of music did you focus on? Your us in your voice? So I got my degree in classical which I absolutely loved, but professionally I sang musical theater and pop music. Really I had like my little fifteen minutes of fame. But my my true love was really musical theater. But at the time when I was in school, you couldn't There was not a place to get a Today, get a degree in musical theater, which I think is so phenomenal, but at the time that was very unusual.

7:54 So you had to sort of, you know, pick a concentration, either jazz or classical, and I chose classical, which I loved. Mmmm, well that's beautiful. So as you graduated from college, what did your life take you. I did sing for a bit, but what ended up happening was I moved to Charleston, South Carolina, and I did sing with the opera at Charleston, which was beautiful, thank you. But it wasn't a full time because it was a smaller town at the time. It's actually much bigger now, but it wasn't a full time thing. So I had the you know, the moment of well, maybe it's time to get a real job. I'm saying that with air quotes. So and I had a lot of fun. I worked at Bush Gardens, I mean I had I did a lot of concerts and things like that. But at one point, I, you know, decided to get something more on the steady side of things.

8:48 So I ended up working in radio, which I absolutely love. So in my mind that was a correlation. It was a way to keep music in my world and and also be relationships with people because I love the connection. I love the connection of music. So I ended up working in radio for a while, which I absolutely loved. It was wonderful. That's beautiful. Absolutely, radio is something you know when you talk about voice or music, it's all about connecting with people. And so tell us more about your experience on the radio show. So well, I did. Actually, when I got into what I do now, I did have a radio show called The Happy Hour, But at the time I was in sales. I was on the sales side. I did some commercials, some voiceovers, things like that, but I was really on the sales side, and it was wonderful.

9:37 I loved it. I absolutely loved it until I got my wake up call into looking into what truly brings us happiness? Where does happiness come from? What is joy? What is the essence of joy? And until I got that wake up call. When that happened, I shifted gears because I couldn't ignore it. You know, it's like once you see something, you can't unsee it. But for years I was in radio and I absolutely loved it until I read the book Many Lives, Many Masters, which was a big game changer for me. And that was when I got very curious about our psychology and what's behind our psychology. Right. So, you mentioned that you had a wake up call, So tell us, was it just one moment or was it a series of moments? You know, I remember one very specific moment, and I had read the book Many Lives, Many Masters, and that led to I started reading Deepak Choper's books and Wayne Dyer and ticknat Han and just sort of going down that rabbit hole. But what was really a game changing moment for me was I was sitting in my home and we had built a custom home and I had a decorator come in, and you know, it was everything that I thought that I ever wanted. And I had the beautiful car in the driveway and had a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She was about a year and a half, and you know, all those boxes that I thought, well, this is the road to happiness, you get things right, they were all ticked. And I remember being on the phone with my friend Kim, who, funny enough, was in

11:09 radio. She was a radio show host for years in Philadelphia. And I was on the phone with her and I remember just tears pouring down my face, you know, sitting in a beautifully decorated room saying to her, you know, where is it? Because it's not in things? You know. That was my wake up because I had all the things that I thought would bring me happiness, but there was a piece missing. So that was really my wake up call was sitting on the phone with someone who is still a very dear friend in my life. Yeah, what you're sharing is so amazing that we look for gratification outside and hoping that the outside, external joys and external gratifications will bring us that joy that we're seeking for our like you know, for that matter, like meaning and all that. Just recently I had a young client and he was sharing that I want to do meaningful work and as we were talking and he just had that romance with that idea of having meaningful life and did not know what it is. And it happens to the best of us and to most of us. So the key is knowing that, yes, definitely we need external things for comfort. Who does sound like comfort? It's important. But the key is that the war or the battle

12:43 of whatever you want to call it that needs to be won over is inside us, not outside. That's it. Yeah, it's not in things. And I'm amazed. I think that the generation now, the young generation now are young adults. I think they know this now. You know, I didn't know it then. I was still looking for things that were glittery and pretty. You know, I was in my early thirties, you know, when I had my wake up. So I think it's really amazing and beautiful that they seem to be so much more in touch than I was. But you know, I to your point, to the brilliant first question that you asked me, proves the point. When I look at my fondest memory, it wasn't receiving anything other than knowing my dad was there, you know, just that beautiful connection with my dad. It's all about love and connection.

13:39 That's where happiness is. That's where joy is, and it starts within. And you know, there was a time in my life when I didn't know that. You know, I was just sort of following the masses until I saw something different. Well, the way I see it is that sunrises, then you're awake. Because if you're sleeping, and even if the sudden midvain this guy doesn't matter. It's the time you wake up. So you had this wake up call, as you call it, What shifted within you? And what steps did you take next? I would say everything shifted within me because I could not go back to what I was doing like I actually and it was very funny because you know, there was a moment in time where you know, I needed to bring in more of an income than I was bringing in, and I tried to get back into radio, and I had a wonderful reputation in the radio business. A lot of at the time, the business was a very transient business, so you know, people would come and go, they'd be six months here, a year here. But I was the person that I was very, very loyal, so I was had a very great reputation in the business. So for me, it's like, oh, well, it's easy to get a job back in radio. And it was very funny. It was when we had that pro session in two thousand and seven and I called every radio station and they were like, oh my goodness, Andrea, we love you, we'd love to have you,

15:09 but we're not hiring right now. Which I had not had that experience in my professional experience, wherever I wanted to work, I got a job, whether they were hiring or not. But at that moment in time, it was very interesting because the universe was stopping me as well. Now internally, I knew that was something that I couldn't authentically go back and do, but I felt this pressure, but it was so interesting and I'll never forget My friend Patty said to me. She was like, Andrea, this is a gift. She said, You're not able to get that job, which doesn't make sense logically, because that's not where you're supposed to be. You are supposed to spread Happy, which is the parent name of my company is spread Happy, because that's what I felt compelled to do. So it was very interesting how the universe actually stopped me. So what I did then was I just went into a tail spin of becoming a student, you know, which, of course I'm still a student. But I ended up studying with doctor Robert Holden, who as the creator of the Happiness Project, which at the time was the only scientifically proven method to actually increase your level of happiness.

16:17 So I went over to London to study with him. I studied with him when he was in New York. I mean, I just went all over to learn what he knew, and I studied pretty much everything you can possibly imagine. But that was my foundation. And what's so interesting is, years and years and years later, where I am today, I see how that foundation because the foundation doctor Robert Holden's foundation really started with a course of miracles. And that foundation is so solid no matter what, no matter what direction you're looking in, it points back to, you know, the oneness. It points back to you know, the fact that there is no separation.

16:59 So everything really points back to a course in miracles. But after studying with him, I studied NLP, I studied hypnosis, I studied passie progressions, I studied you know eft like you name it. I probably took you delve into different modalities into bringing that peace within oneself. Yes, mentioned about the Happiness Project that that was the only study that has been done or was being done at the time tests about them. So at the time and I don't know there I'm sure now that there's other studies, but at the time it was the only scientifically proven method to increase your level of happiness. So we have we have a natural set point for happiness. We sort of come out of the womb with a natural set point. But with this program that he developed, you had we have the opportunity to increase that set point up to forty percent. Now maybe even more. But at the time that those were the statistics that you can increase your level of happiness up to forty percent because we have this natural set point. So, you know, the big thing was forgiveness. Foundationally, it's forgiveness because it just makes so much sense.

18:12 If we are carrying something with us, it is going to block us from our natural happiness, which is our natural state. We are naturally happy without all of our stories. That's naturally where we go. So forgiveness was very foundational understanding the ego's role. You know, the ego is not a bad thing, but we want to use it as our servant rather than our master. And there was a time in my life when I was using it as our master. If we're looking outside of ourselves for peace, we're using it as our master. But we want to use it as our servant. We know what we want to do, how we want to be, how we want to show up in the world, so we can use the ego as our friend. You know, the ego said to me, make sure you take a shower this morning. Right. It's not a bad thing, but we want to use it in that capacity, not in the capacity we're thinking when we get something it will bring us peace of enjoy, it will not that actually comes from within. And then of course gratitude and living on purpose, living on purpose, and I know that you had touched on that with your client that you had spoken to. We must have purpose and meaning in our life. That passion, that joy, that that what makes us, what sets us on fire. You know that that's our natural wisdom guiding us and telling us where to go, how to be in the world, and how we can actually live what we were, how we were meant to live when we came to the planet. You know, we all have something very special inside of us that wants to move through us. So it's really paying attention definitely that makes sense and bringing back, like you know, the conversation to this younger generation. So both the millennials and the gen z, you

19:48 know, they're always looking for other work. And I don't know if people remember, but you know, we went through the period when there was the result nation and the quiet quitting. They're approximately I think so forty five percent of employees were moving around looking for the world to find that environment that naturally fosters that creativity brings meaning to their lives. So tell us, like, what could employers do to create an environment that they can engage, Yeah, you know, sustain the talent. Yeah, it's it's it all goes back to the beginning of our conversation. And I love connection. I love that you asked that question because that was the perfect foundation for everything that we're talking about. People want to feel cared for, they want to feel connected.

20:45 And when a company has an employee wellness program where they show them we care about your well being, they enjoy their jobs sixty seven percent more. That's a heck of a lot. There are forty percent more likely to be engaged. They want to work for the company. It's like, you know, when I did work in radio, I worked for a phenomenal radio station where people did not leave. So when I got the job, I remember talking to interviewing with the general manager and there was no position. I mean I just called and said, Hi, you know, I've always had an affinity for your radio station for so many beautiful things. I'd love to talk to you. And they were like, well, we don't have any openings.

21:27 But you know, she said to me, I'm happy to meet you for a cup of coffee. So when I met her for a cup of coffee, what ended up happening was she said, I want you to meet the GM and long story short, they ended up finding a position for me. But going back to what was so compelling about working for that company was that they cherished their employees. They cherished their employees. You could feel it. There was so much training they had. Even back in the day, they had wellness programs. They you knew that they cared about you. And today with this movement of self awareness of taking care of your essence, so even you know, not just taking care of your body physically, but taking care of your natural wellbeing, you know, mind, body, spirit. When a company provides that for their employees, they have twenty six percent less miss days, which is pretty amazing. And with all of the attrition today, you know, we know that by twenty thirty, attrition is going to cost four hundred and thirty billion dollars to business. You want to do everything you can to show your employees that you care. So what a company can do is they can invest in a wellness program and I don't mean a training program to get better with their skills. That's a wonderful thing as well. And what's really important to employees at the moment is that they feel loved and cared

23:00 for. So when a company provides that a wellness program where they're actually concerned and concerned in a beautiful way, like concerned in a we care about your way. Definitely, definitely, Like that makes all the difference. Yeah, you want to show that you care about the employees. What's the best way to go about it? You know, there's this big general idea that we can do that, but there's so many companies. They may not have the bandwidth. Yes, they may not have enough employees, they may not have the budget. So given let's say for a small to medium sized company, they may have employee you know, constraints, budget constraints, and the time constraints because a lot of companies have laid off so especially during this time, what specifically companies can do so that their employees feel well taken care of?

23:49 You know, the first thing that comes to mind is talk to your employees. Talk to them, communicate with them, you know, have them fill out a survey. What do you need to feel really good about being here? Because sometimes they may need to work from home a couple of days. You know, maybe they are and they're amazing at what they do, but maybe they're having a childcare thing. But they can still be super productive because they feel loved and cared for, they feel valued. So the first thing I would say is actually talk to your employees, communicate with them, have them fill out a survey, but have a meeting with them. What can we do to make this a better experience for you? Because so many times if we just had a conversation, things would run so much more smoothly.

24:33 But because sometimes we're afraid to talk to somebody, we're afraid to say what we really need, and you'd be surprised sometimes an employees like, oh my goodness, like either the employer or the employer would say, that's so easy for me to do. I had no idea that was all you needed. So the first thing is have a conversation, find out what you can do to nurture them. Yeah, that definitely makes sense. And it again comes back excuse me. It comes back to that approach that not having assumptions, because if you have assumptions, all my employees happy. So it's not just asking somebody who comes in new it's also about doing regular check ins that Okay, you know we had said this X, Y and Z, especially like you know, since today we are talking about the New Years doesn't matter if you've had an employee for three years, just do a regular check in that as we are setting in absolutely what are your goals understanding them their preferences, and what are the things employers can put in place. Well, the first thing I would say is to have regular check ins and some type of survey.

25:41 And you know, I'm all about having creating some sort of wellness in the workplace because I know that when employees feel loved and cared for, they're more likely to stick around. So I would say flexibility. Another thing is flexibility, you know you just have. You just jogged my memory and I remember when I worked in radio. I was always in the top three the salespeople, always in the top three, and we had around twenty salespeople, so I was I did very well. And I remember one day leaving and it was around five thirty and one of the guys who salespeople who I worked with, looked at his watch and said, oh, half day. And I remember thinking to myself, first of all, what a jerk. But I remember thinking to myself, well, somehow the hours that I keep seem to work for me. And now I didn't know what I know today that it's not about the time you put in right. It's about working smart.

26:36 It's about working from the heart. It's about leading with your heart, leading with your wisdom, your natural instincts, and connection. That's how you do well in business, right. It's not all the busy work. It's actually about connection and listening to your intuition. That's when you're going to do well and you're going to not have as much chaos in your life. But you know, my point is to know yourself, you know, to really know yourself. It's not about I have to be at my desk at six and I have to leave at nine, because all that's going to do is burn you out. It's to know how to work efficiently. So that's another conversation for employees to be flexible. Because one person that maybe just loves being at work and it makes them really happy and they want to be there at six and they want to leave at nine, that's fantastic, But somebody else is probably more efficient doing the job the way it makes sense for them so that they are well rounded. You know, some of us need to get up in the morning and do yoga because that's how we want to start our day and that feels really good. And if you have an employee that is amazing and they want to come in at nine thirty because there's a certain yoga class that in their mind helps them feel amazing, let them come in at nine thirty. You know. It's it's about really being in touch with it to make it a win win for everybody. It's how can we make this a win win for everybody. That's really a great point because as you said that, some employees can be more efficient, some employees like to be there, or it could be as you mentioned, it could be the dropping off their

28:07 children, or they may be going for a gym or whatever. It is. So allowing that flexibility of time knowing that, and actually so many employers are thinking of going to four day work weeks because what happens is that whenever there is that time crunch, people will do more work and finish it off because then they want to go and have fun on that additional day that they're getting off. So that definitely makes sense. So now let's say they're flexible with one but then the rest of the team may be talking about, hmmm, how come that person goes ahead and it has shorter hours and like, you know, the rest of us are working more hours, So how can an employer balance that out? Yeah, that's you know a lot of that.

28:57 What comes to mind first is is creating an understanding. Meaning, when I'm comfortable in my own skin, I'm not worried or bothered about what anybody else is doing. You know what I mean, It's not my business what somebody else is doing, unless I'm thinking that my well being is outside of me. So that's where the training of understanding the principles behind our psychology come in really really handy. Because if you got if you have a bunch of people working for you that are in everybody else's business, that's not an efficient team anyway. You want your team to come in, you want them to do their job. You want them to care for themselves right, put their own well being first so that they're not so concerned with what everybody else is doing. Because when we understand that that deep truth, then if we need to communicate hey, I need to come in later as well, well, communicate it from love and authenticity rather than a jealousy standpoint, you know what I mean. That's why you know you want to That's why I'm very big on understanding the principles behind our psychology, because when you have that understanding, you're not worried about somebody else, You are comfortable communicating, You say what you need, you understand other people have different lives. You're looking within rather than without to try to figure out how to be in the world. So the first thing is really to create that type of understanding for your team, whatever way you do it, if you bring somebody in to train them in that, or if you provide that or just have that conversation. And the

30:30 second thing is to know that you know, if you're worried about somebody else's hours, to be able to have a comfortable space to talk to your employer in you know, that's a big thing is as an employer, you want your employees to know it's okay to come and talk to me, It's okay to share with me how you feel because a lot of times there's misunderstandings. So if somebody knew, oh well, the reason that they have that situation makes sense, it's not a thing absolutely. And it goes back again to building that culture where you are building a cohesive culture where the team members are not competing against each other they are recognizing what are the needs and also having the transparency that who's working on what. When people know what projects are being worked on, people have an idea what they're doing, and goes back to again when you talked about understanding and having that conversation, having the team talk to each other, and even having those team cohesiveness meetings or even doing a half a day where people come together and air out their concerns and rather than just you know, an employee talking to the boss just airing it out in the open, where because as team partners, you've got to do that, and understanding each other and understanding what I'm hearing from you is just not between the boss and the employee, it's also between the different team members, so

32:02 then they can understand each other and like, okay, you know, some people may not have anybody at home. They like to be at work, so it's also understanding that, like you mentioned that, how that person was telling you, so rather than being envious and putting somebody else down, understanding that whatever they're doing is worth it. And again it goes back to again like how do you feel inside? Yeah, it for me, it shouldn't be a competition. It should be, you know, everybody working together as a team. And when you start to get into while I was here till seven and you came in at this time, you know, that's a lot of wasted energy and a lot of wasted productivity. It doesn't make sense when you understand, well, I'm here to do my job and I'm going to do it to the best of my ability, and you all work as a team. I need this from you, you need this from me, and we work together. But you're not so concerned with how somebody else does it.

33:05 It's also being in a space of non judgment. It's like, well, you do your job the way you do it, and I do it the way I do it. There's no right or wrong. It's however we can be efficient and get this done. It's taking away that judgment. It's really putting more love into the workplace, more understanding into the workplace, more compassion into the workplace. And it starts from within, you know, because whatever you want outside of you, you've got to give that. So if you want respect, you want to give respect. If you want non judgment, don't judge. If you want to feel love and cared for, then love and care for others, it's very simple, but we get very stuck in our minds about fairness, and that will get us into trouble. Absolutely, some great nagats over there. So you talk about building relationship and one easy step, do share that with us. So the one easy step is the relationship with yourself. That is the most important relationship because when you get that one right, when you stop judging yourself, when you forgive yourself, when you stop making demands on yourself, and you start with a solid foundation of knowing, you came out of the womb perfectly perfect and you still are.

34:15 What happens is from zero to seven, we get conditioned. We're in the theta state that we're like a sponge, so we're under hypnosis and unfortunately we're not always hearing things that will serve us. So it's getting back to our natural essence, our natural well being, our natural knowing. Now this doesn't mean that we don't want to build skills. It means that we're building skills on a solid foundation rather than on quicksand so that the one key is building that relationship with yourself. Because when I'm okay with me, I'm okay with you, and I can communicate with you freely and we can work things out in an amicable way. You know, life is so much easier. But if I'm not okay with me, I'm going to project that onto you innocently. I don't know that I'm doing that, but I think my the problem is you because I don't know that it starts with me, because we're not taught that. M So that said, tell us, how do you support people and what's happening in your life currently? I support people by pointing them back here because I find that, you know, I am a broken record, but eventually it gets in. But I find that all of our problems quote unquote are a misunderstanding of how our mind works. That's where all of our problems are. Our problems. You know. Imagine we suffer because of thought. In the moment. We suffer because whatever thinking is going on is unpleasant. But when we see the nature of it that we get to

35:46 choose what we focus on. We get eleven million impressions are available to us per second, and we take in forty. So we are taking in the forty that we are recycling from the day before and the day before and the day before and the day before and that's why nothing changes, and that's why our life looks the same. And that's why, you know, our go to is sometimes to blame because we don't know any different. But imagine if we started looking at another forty and another forty and another forty. Imagine what opens up when we let go of the restrictions that we put on ourself that keep us from being happy and content in our life. So it's always going back, no matter what is occurring in our life, We've got to go back to our own belief system, what's serving us, what's not serving us?

36:29 And asking ourself is that really true? You know, it's all about resonance. It's all about frequency, like attracts like. So we are a mirror so to me, the world outside of us is telling us how we're doing. So if we're experiencing, if my day starts to go downhill, I know, stop reset, I must reset. I've got to start looking at myself. What's going on in my mind? What am I focusing on? And you know, where is my resonance? You know what's occurring with me? And then I have the chance to you know, it's like a train, if a train's going eighty miles an hour in one direction, and it needs to go in the other direction. I got to slow it down, stop so that I can jump the tracks and start moving in a different direction. I want to stop fighting the current and I just want to be I want to get centered so that I can be back in the world in a very productive way coming from wisdom, using my intuition. We have an inner genius. But if we don't know to tap into that inner genius, we're always going to be in a very stressed state. And I'm looking outside of ourselves for the answers.
