ITL306: The Story Behind The Traveler’s Gift: Part 2
In this episode, we conclude our discussion of the story of The Traveler’s Gift. The Traveler’s Gift shaped Andy’s career. Andy continues to gain a deeper understanding of the 7 Decisions. The publisher wasn’t interested, the bookstores weren’t interested, and the public was unaware. Andy knew that God hadn’t taken him this far just to fail. He bought copies from the publisher and gave them away. Eventually, the book ended up in the hands of Robin Roberts, who featured it on Good Morning America’s “Read This!” book club segment. Andy enjoys writing a lot more now that he’s seen the end result of what can happen in people’s lives. Andy cares more about getting his books to people who haven’t read them than pumping out more books just to have them out there. Andy has given away 20,000 copies of The Traveler’s Gift. Over 2,500 schools use his free curriculums. Tune in to hear about Andy’s meeting with...David Ponder. You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer.

ITL305: The Story Behind The Traveler’s Gift: Part 1
In this episode, we discuss the story of The Traveler’s Gift. The Traveler’s Gift wasn’t successful right away. Fifty-one publishers rejected it over three and a half years. When the book was finally published, it didn’t sell through its initial 10,000 copies. At one point, Andy lost an entire chapter and had to rewrite it from scratch. It took Andy about a year to write the book. Andy knew the ending and main points before he started. Andy asked his friends which historical figures to include. He wanted to write something to leave behind for his kids if he died before they had a chance to know him. Kenny Rogers was critical. Kenny encouraged Andy to use the 7 Decisions in his show. This helped Andy realize that he could talk about serious topics. You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer. Just go to for details.

ITL304: The Unexpected Benefits of Trust with Guest Mac Richard
In this episode, we discuss Mac’s new book, The Trust Protocol. Forge credibility through integrity and action. Focus on being a reliable person. Connect with other reliable people. There is no community without accountability and no accountability without community. Trust is critical to any community. “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). If you want to create a community or business that people will be loyal to, build trust. Everyone has experienced betrayal. If we’re not careful, we can let betrayal define our future in ways we’re not even aware of. Forgive: people can sense bitterness in others and won’t do business with them. Trust is critical to parenting Explain to your kids why you’re telling them what you’re telling them. If they learn to trust you as toddlers, they’ll know that you have their best interest at heart as adults. Tune in for wisdom from Pastor and author Mac Richard.

ITL 302 - Do You Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Change
In this episode, we answer a listener's question on change. People believe that you have to hit rock bottom to change. Hitting rock bottom can be what facilitates change but it's not necessary. This can happen and thus it is true but not The Truth. You can live your life without ever approaching rock bottom. Figure out ways to open your eyes before you get to rock bottom. Direction, not intention, determines destination. People use intention as an excuse. They say things like, “I never intended for this to happen.” Tune in to hear about Austin Andrews mingling with celebrities.

ITL300: The Secret to Successful Parenting
In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on raising children. Don’t just raise great kids. Raise kids who become great adults. You can force your child to be a great kid, but only while they’re in front of you. Teach them how to think, not what to think. Teaching a child how to think requires long conversations about what you believe and how you came to believe that. Spend time with your children one-on-one. Discipline your children while they are young. Most parents excuse bad behavior while their kids are young and grow more strict as they age, causing them to push back. If you focus on disciplining your children while they’re two and three, you can loosen the rules when they’re teenagers. Teach them self-discipline.

Go to someone your spouse trusts and ask them to talk to your spouse. Sometimes the person we’re closest to isn’t the person we can hear advice from. Part of their self-doubt is wrapped up in you and feeling like they could provide for/support you better. Be patient even when they don’t deserve patience Hardship builds bonds.

ITL295: The Three-Letter Question That Can Make All the Difference
Discussion line: In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on becoming somebody who asks “Why?” Andy’s levels of achievement from The Little Things: Z: Z’s are the people who don’t do, don’t know, and don’t accomplish anything. D: D’s know how to do T: T’s can not only do something but can also teach L: L’s can not only do and teach but can also lead others in doing something. H: H’s can not only do, lead, and teach, but they also know how a principle works. W: W’s are so high on the ladder that we miss them. They know why a principle works. You can’t get the full value of a principle until you understand why it works. Our parents teach us not to ask “Why?” We only ask “Why” when something is going wrong. Understanding why a principle works can only happen while observing the principle working, so always ask “Why is this working so well?” Something can be true but not the truth. The truth is knowledge about something. The truth is the bottom line, the entirety of the thing. When people have a problem, they keep looking until they find something true, but they rarely continue looking until they find the truth. Personal growth doesn’t end until you die. The hill is always going to get steeper and you will always be climbing.

ITL294: Are You Assisting Your Adult Child or Enabling Them?
In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on difficulties with their adult child. You’re never going to stop being a parent to your adult child, but you’re not their authority unless they allow it. They don’t have to agree with you about what the best is. Wise people never let themselves out from under the umbrella of authority, even if they have to artificially create it. At some point, financial support can become enablement. Some parents use up all their retirement putting their children through college for a degree they don’t end up using. By providing for them, you make them think they’re more financially able than they really are. At some point, you may have to say, “As much as we’d like to continue doing this, we don’t have the money.” It’s hard to watch your child suffer when all you have to do is pick up your wallet, but struggling can produce success later in life and you might be robbing him of that.

ITL293: How to Teach Your Child Self-Control
In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on self-control. You can’t force real change in your child. Most parents who want their child to change, try to force the change by setting tight rules. To change someone you need two things: what’s in it for me, and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Have conversations with your child about their future. Get specific about where they want to go in life. Tell them you want the best for them, and explain why that change is in their best interest. You discipline them so that they can discipline themselves later in life. Since the best is only one thing, you can be wrong. Let your kids know they can talk to you if they disagree with you. How important is it for parents to present a united front? It makes things easier. The reason parents don’t present a united front is because they disagree. If it’s a difference of opinion, compromise. If it’s a disagreement over a course of action, have a conversation about it without fighting.

ITL292: The Important Difference Between Forgiveness and Trust
In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on the relationship between forgiveness and trust. Forgiveness has the power to either bind or release a family, business, or relationship. Forgiveness means more to the forgiver than to the person being forgiven. In order to forgive someone, they don’t have to ask for it, deserve it, or even be aware you’re forgiving them. Forgiveness is a decision, not an emotion. People can sense bitterness, and they won’t remain around it for long. Forgiveness is about the past—trust is about the future. You can forgive somebody who wrongs you even if you don’t trust them anymore. Someone can prove himself trustworthy again by not making the same mistakes. Tune in to hear the Bible passage that shaped Andy’s view on forgiveness. You can also hear more from Andy by subscribing to his new podcast, The Professional Noticer. Just go to for details.

ITL290: How to Create True, Lasting Change
In this episode, we demonstrate how to harness the two ingredients of real, lasting change with a chapter from The Little Things. Why does change give us such a hard time? It has to do with our three incorrect beliefs about change. Myth 1: It takes time to change. (Real change happens instantly) Myth 2: A person must want to change. (People change when acquiring new information) Myth 3: A person won’t change until he hits rock bottom. Instead, true change doesn’t occur without these two ingredients: What’s in it for me?

Sometimes parents allow their children to go through difficulties because they want what’s best for their child. Hardships can be a blessing. Adversity builds muscle. I wouldn’t have chosen to live under a pier, but today I see the benefits of that time in my life. You can choose how you view hardship.

ITL284: How to Determine What Success Looks Like in Your Life
In this episode, we answer a listener’s series of questions on success. The true meaning of success is ultimately up to you. Don’t allow others to define what success looks like in your life. Most people have tunnel vision when they think of success. They think success means money, cars, planes, boats, big houses, and travel. They don’t think about things like their legacy, level of influence, and ability to give to those in need. To make sure you don’t have tunnel vision, think in terms of what it looks like to live a successful life. Success isn’t a destination—it’s a progressive realization of a worthwhile dream or goal. Discipline is needed to keep going through the sometimes-repetitive process of learning what you have to learn in order to do something with excellence.

ITL283: How to Influence Others to Act on Your Suggestions
In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on getting students to believe they’re learning helpful information. People can only accomplish what they believe they can accomplish. I call this “belief imposition.” What you believe controls how you behave—whether it’s true or not. If you want someone to change what they believe, you need to know how change works. As harsh as it sounds, people don’t implement your suggestions because they don’t believe you. Two elements are required for true change: 1. What’s in it for them, and 2. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Your presentation of these elements is key. Tune in to hear about a conversation Andy had at dinner with some military officials.

ITL281: How to Change the World
In this episode, we discuss a listener’s question on helping society change its habits and focus. Mass change requires individual change. Each person must come to his or her own conclusion. There are two components of change: 1) What’s in it for me, and 2) Proof beyond a reasonable doubt. We set an example for others. People examine us by the fruit we produce. If you understand why a principle works, you unlock its true power. You can explain it to others and use it across nearly every aspect of your life. Get to “the bottom of the pool.” Tune in to hear how one of Andy’s books helped provide the "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" a father and son needed to repair their relationship.
