This week, we're joined by a truly inspirational guest, Andrew – a devoted fan of the podcast whose life story is nothing short of remarkable. Andrew's journey takes us from the challenging streets at a young age, through an impressive career in the NFL, to facing and overcoming life-altering injuries and brain trauma. His resilience and strength are awe-inspiring, as he rebuilt his life with the help of meditation and new business ventures.
Andrew's story begins with a tumultuous childhood, leading him to be homeless at 13. Yet, through sheer grit and determination, he carved a path to success in the NFL, playing for the St. Louis Rams right after their Superbowl win. His experiences on and off the field are full of life lessons, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Unfortunately, a severe injury ended his NFL career prematurely, leaving him with significant brain injuries. This dark period in his life, however, opened the door to an extraordinary transformation.
In an almost cinematic twist of fate, Andrew's life takes an unexpected turn towards healing and success. He meets Deepak Chopra, who introduces him to the power of meditation, aiding his recovery from brain injuries. From this point, Andrew embarks on an entrepreneurial journey, turning his challenges into opportunities. His connection with the podcast has also led to fascinating ventures and friendships, including becoming a business partner with Paul Stamets and forming a close bond with Victor Wooten. Andrew's newfound courage even leads him to the forefront of a band, showcasing his extraordinary evolution from a challenging past to a thriving present.

It's a rollercoaster of emotions, a story of triumph, and a powerful reminder of the resilience we all possess.
