On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy shares a wildly entertaining and surprisingly useful mix of wisdom for two very different (but equally overwhelmed) groups: parents of small children and recent graduates.

Tune in for the “Dirty Dozen”—a hard-hitting list of 12 truths every graduate needs to hear. Then, stick around for some mischievous parenting hacks that help you outsmart toddlers, win back your time, and create peace in a noisy house. It’s a classic blend of humor and practicality in true Andy Andrews fashion, offering a laugh, a plan, and a fresh dose of perspective for anyone facing the chaos of parenting or the realities of adulthood.

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy hosts Steve Perrins—owner of the historic Perrins Rainy Pass Lodge and coordinator of Camp Iron Sights.

Join Andy and Steve as they discuss the fascinating history of Perrins’ Rainy Pass Lodge—Alaska’s oldest hunting and fishing destination. Listen as Steve shares how he and his wife became involved with the lodge and reveals their vision for Camp Iron Sights, a transformative wilderness program dedicated to helping at-risk youth in Alaska. Learn how the camp’s remote wilderness setting, combined with leadership training and principles from The Young Traveler’s Gift, fosters lasting change through intentional mentorship and community support.
