It was so interesting talking with Andre Duquemin.

In his mid-30s, Andre 'should' have been happy.

He had a successful business, nice car, nice house, nice family and all that stuff.

Yet he suddenly found himself coming to an abrupt realisation that, despite having all of this, he was pretty chuffing miserable.

To me, this is a testament to the fact that we must all do work on ourselves if we want to be happy and live a joyful, meaningful life.

Simply chasing some future goal we believe will give us happiness will never work.

It's this kind of 'inner work' that Andre used to get him through this period in his life, and now he works as a coach to help men suffering with similar issues to get through it themselves.

So in this interview I talk to Andre about how he came through this crisis in his life... and how to avoid it happening to you.

In The Episode, We Talk About...
  • Andre's story of how he went from seemingly 'successful' to his breakdown where he spent an evening shouting at cows and bushes.
  • How awareness and allowing yourself to just 'be' is a huge part of achieving happiness and contentment.
  • How to stop living in the future and attaching your happiness to a future outcome.
  • The pressures of our pre-defined gender roles and how to achieve what YOU want, not what society says you should want.
  • How to deal with emotional and mental shit storms in your life.
  • Why it's not just okay for men to be in touch with their emotions, but absolutely critical to do so.
  • A specific technique that exponentially helped Andre get through his breakdown.
