Testimonials
I initially started working with Andrew for leadership and executive coaching around my startup. Little did I know working with Andrew would become one of the most transformative experiences of my life.
Andrew’s tactical startup advice is invaluable, but his impact goes far beyond the tactical. He helped me uncover the subconscious patterns that were holding me back and showed me how emotions are the key to unwinding their power. These blocks were limiting my ability to raise money, lead my teams, and step fully into the leader I knew I could be. I am now living at my full potential.
The other major benefit has been a sustained relationship with my inner wisdom. In any situation, I can feel my way to inner knowing, or my intuition. If there’s a challenge at work, I can feel into my emotions and parse out what is a reaction from shadow and what is truth. I can discern between what is mine, and what is not mine. In this way, I can access the path forward with so much more ease and clarity. It’s like a superpower.
The ROI on emotional work is immeasurable. It impacted every aspect of my life. My company is healthier, my relationships (romantic, personal, and professional) are all deeper and more authentic, and more fulfilling. And perhaps most importantly, I feel more at home in myself than I ever have.
I can’t recommend Andrew and his work enough. I’m grateful for it every single day.
Founder & CEO, AI (late 20s)
Following my first long conversation with Andrew, I knew in my gut that I wanted to work with him. But, something was holding me back: fear of what I might discover, fear of bringing shadow to light. Ultimately, it took me two years, and a moment of crisis, to break through the resistance and reach back out to Andrew to start working with him in earnest. I wish I hadn’t waited so long, but I’m so grateful for what followed.
I can honestly say that my time working with Andrew has been truly life changing. I find myself far better equipped to handle life as it unfolds, more present with my spouse and kids, more aware of and present to my truth, and better able to recognize and respond to what is born out of fear. I now know how to speak and act from truth rather than from shadow, and my life and relationships are healthier as a result. I feel eternally grateful to Andrew for all his help.
I can’t recommend working with Andrew highly enough, and would encourage anyone who may be feeling some resistance to take a chance. Your future self will thank you.
Founder, Web3
I had no idea how much a lack of connection to my emotions was impacting me as a founder. Nor did I anticipate just how good it was to have a safe to share authentically and feel supported in the rawness of my experience. I highly recommend this work. Join a men’s circle. Do some 1:1 work. Go on a retreat. Whatever feels like a place to start. It’s worth it.
Serial Founder - late 30s
This is the best work I’ve done in my life. The difference between when I started and now is night and day.
It turns out that being vulnerable doesn’t hurt and is actually a superpower.
I never felt good enough and now I feel like I can stand in my power. For the first time ever, I feel okay for me to be ME. No matter if it’s at work or with women… I can just be me. At work, I’m much better at handling pressure and I can be a better leader. I’m so much more trusting of myself. I feel more in control of what I can do, and in my own capacity. It feels good.
CTO
Working with Andrew in a men’s group has been an invaluable experience. Having a safe space to be vulnerable, be supported by other men, and practice frameworks that pushed me beyond my comfort zone has been transformational. This work has helped me step into a greater embodiment of my masculinity and align with my best self.
It’s challenging, messy work—but that’s exactly why it’s necessary. Spaces like this don’t exist in everyday life; you have to seek them out. And I’m grateful I did. The work never truly ends, but with Andrew as an ally, I look forward to the journey ahead.
MH, Entrepreneur in late 30s
I have known Andrew for a long time. I knew him as a founder and I’ve been blessed to receive the power of his emotional work. Sometimes I can’t believe the same person can do both at such a high level. And how they come together is real special.
Beyond those talents, I admire Andrew for his integrity. This is a man who walks the talk. He does his work. He practices what he teaches. I’ve had a front-row seat to the trials and challenges he’s faced, and I admire that the gifts he shares have been forged in fire.
The emotional work he taught me had a quick impact. It’s helped me navigate my own fires. It’s helped me be the father I’ve always known I am, and helps me navigate the complexities of life with more capacity.
I highly encourage every man to engage with this work as soon as possible.
Serial Entrepreneur, 45
I started working with Andrew months ago, and his teaching and guidance has been life-changing in unlocking my best self.
For years, I debated whether I should seek therapy or some form of emotional work. I knew I was struggling, but I kept pushing it aside. Then I hit a breaking point. Stress and anxiety were affecting every part of my day, every part of my life. I couldn’t keep going the way I was. That’s when I was introduced to Andrew.
About two weeks into our sessions, I went through one of the most traumatic and dreadful experiences of my life—losing my job. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience over the next three months working with Andrew.
Andrew’s kindness, awareness and deep presence immediately accelerated my trust in him. I fully committed to his process. Each week, we went deeper. He helped me see blind spots I had never noticed—hidden fears, old wounds, and the patterns holding me back.
He pulled back the curtains that hid every fear, blockage and experience that shaped me as a man—and especially the ones that kept me from being my true self.
I began to see how I could no longer move around my problems, fears or the unknown. I had to accept them, feel them and move with them. Andrew taught me how to feel it all. And that’d when everything shifted.
Over time, I started to see myself clearly. Everything I needed was already inside me. I was already who I wanted to be.
I felt like every part of my life shifted for the better. This work enhanced how I showed up as a husband, father, son, brother, and friend.
Near the end of our work, I received a new job offer. It was a perfect reflection of my growth, my talents, and the leader I know I am.
My experience at this new firm is more energizing than I even thought was possible. I’m operating at my highest level of excellence—and the people around me see it. Week after week, my colleagues, clients, and coworkers have acknowledged the leadership they see in me.
I’ve always been good at reading the room, but through this work, my awareness has sharpened. I see people more clearly, and my ability to connect and communicate effectively—especially with clients—has expanded in ways I never expected.
Also, I am now much better at regulating my emotions. I don’t let them dominate my energy. I don’t get stuck in them. I just move with them.
My work with Andrew didn’t change who I am—it stripped away everything that wasn’t me, allowing my truest self to emerge. And that self continues to thrive and grow!
And all of this happened in just three months. That’s what’s so remarkable.
Andrew has become not only a trusted coach and confidant, but a true friend. I highly recommend his work.
And if you feel any resistance to it - take that as your invitation to unlock your highest self. That’s where your breakthrough is, as a man.
I share my experience with anyone who will listen and truly hope every man gets the chance to do this work.
Partner, Private Equity
As someone who’s spoken with a handful of talk therapists before, Andrew was the first person my gut immediately responded positively to.
The first thing that attracted me to Andrew’s style was clarity in explaining his own growth experience and how he has helped many other men just like me. He quickly earned my trust with his deliberate and focused practices. He leads by example and practices his work, which inspired me to lean in and touch new levels of vulnerability and openness for me.
Our work together has had a positive influence on every part of my life: work, family, friends, romance, and understanding myself. In hindsight, Andrew was the first person to whom I had ever shown all my emotions. I’m forever grateful for his grace and guidance, providing a place to practice emotional experience, and actually teaching me the tools I need to confidently continue my healing and growth on my own.
While unraveling my emotions and inner dialogue, he consistently knew the right questions to ask or how to reframe my words so I could go deeper and uncover hidden assumptions and conclusions.
He helped me build a mental image of this new emotional landscape, bringing in outside content and answering questions about separate material I had read on my own. I feel like I’ve been able to untie knots that were holding me back and get ahead of toxic patterns to prevent new ones from forming.
Now when I face stress, criticism, fear, or anxiety, I’m able to simply witness their existence and dissolve their hold on me. My ability to notice and express my emotions has deepened all of my relationships and helped me better support those I care about. I am now able to remove myself from internal struggles that previously impeded my ability to make good decisions.
Our work helped me stay grounded facing fear of failure and letting down my co-founders, team, and investors. Building emotional strength helped me accept and hold the stress of my work without derailing me from making progress. It also helped me rebound more quickly from any mistakes, setting a better example for how I wanted to show up for my team and leading to better results.
Finally, I’ve been surprised by how many friends are interested in hearing about my emotional journey. I feel like for how much genuine interest I’ve seen, culturally we don’t talk about these learnings and practices enough. This has been the most empowering way I can imagine incorporating my emotions as a man. I unequivocally recommend Andrew as a teacher to anyone who desires healing and growing their level of existence.
Series A Founder, Web3 (Acquired)
I have known Andrew for almost five years, and a few months ago I had the honor of dropping into a Higher-Self Hotline.
I have been on my own personal transformational journey for over seven years, diving deep with plant medicines, integration coaches, and other shadow work sessions. My session with Andrew was one of the most profound experiences that I’ve ever had.
Andrew’s ability to navigate the container with love, humility, grace, and compassion created a safe container that opened up parts of me that felt inaccessible and allowed me to feel and release so much grief. We found things that even plant medicines have not been able to surface or allow me to access.
Andrew’s intuitive gifts helped me see parts of my own self, and my own beliefs, that really helped facilitate a process of even deeper healing over time. It’s been a gift that keeps on giving.
Not only is Andrew committed to helping others, he is remarkably committed to his own personal growth. I have never known anyone so committed or someone who goes as deep as he does with his own journey.
I highly recommend working with Andrew.
Mary, Real Estate
Working with Andrew in our Higher Self Hotline sessions was nothing short of transformational. We went deep into the roots of my relationship with my parents—a thread that runs through everything I do. Through our work, I unlocked a confidence I didn’t know was possible, a trust in my voice and expression, a belief in my potential, and a genuine forgiveness of my parents that changed the way I relate to the past, present, and future. These sessions always arrived precisely when I needed them. They weren’t just healing—they were catalytic.
Andrew’s energy holds a rare and powerful duality: he’s gentle and confronting, compassionate and direct, deeply intuitive and sharply perceptive. He knows how to meet you exactly where you are, while simultaneously calling forth a version of you that’s waiting to emerge. If you’re sensing that your next chapter requires a deeper integration of soul and self—Andrew is a guide you want on your journey.
Cynthia - AI
The Higher Self Hotline was such a transformative experience that I had to do it twice! In each session, Andrew helped me clarify the beliefs keeping me stuck and work through these blocks.
This work helped me remember that I’m enough as I am, and to fully trust myself. This trust allows me to step fully into all that life can be vs. what life isn’t. And to step fully into myself.
For so long, I felt like I had to dim my light. Or I had to shape myself to fit into a mold. Now I don’t need a mold. I just get to be me. And I finally trust that’s enough.
Andrew helped me realize I was never actually stuck. It was all just fear. The moment I saw that, everything shifted.
I’m eternally grateful for the work he and I have done, and I can’t wait for the next session!
Derrick, Storyteller (formerly tech)
Andrew is a source of profound revelation and clarity. I appreciated his ability to find the parts and patterns that I know were affecting me, but I couldn’t quite find. He brought clear language and light to what resided in the dark with love and compassion.
Man, Designer
My session with Andrew was powerful in the moment, and it continues to impact me. I was in a deep process around my identity. In our session, Andrew said something that has stuck with me ever since. It was so absolutely spot-on, and so right at the root of the issue, that it’s almost been annoying - in the sense that this one statement continues to invite me to look into the mirror of my truest self and love what I see.
As I continue to explore the depths of my sense of sense, and even though it can ebb and flow…I’ve come to love myself, to love being a woman, to love being and to love exploring who I am. I am grateful that I crossed paths with Andrew, and I’m grateful for his presence and support in that session.
Cassandra - Writer
For anyone on the fence about talking to Andrew, don't be. I had my HigherSelf Hotline, and I haven't felt more ok with what I feel in weeks. I even dropped my first tears in the last three years. And trust me when I say I've gone through some emotional times.
I’m forever grateful to have spoken to him and received from his brilliant mind.
Man in late 20s
I spent two years in a men’s group with Andrew in San Francisco and it was, unquestionably, one of the most important things I have ever done for myself.
I was a man who entered this work with a degree of understanding of my emotional being, but did not know how to express and share with others what I was experiencing. In my mind, I was burdening others with my feelings and past traumas. Andrew helped me realize that engaging with my experience was not only therapeutic for myself, but that it would help me unlock deeper relationships with my partner, my family, my friends, my work, and my life path.
For me, Andrew was the person to whom I could turn when I wanted to understand what was happening within me but I didn’t have the framework to ask myself the right questions. He is intuitive, gentle, and compassionate, which enabled me to experience my raw, uninhibited self so that I could unlock doors I didn’t know existed.
Andrew helped me realize that engaging with my emotions, instead of ignoring them, was a true sign of strength.
I will (as will my partner) forever remember my time with Andrew as my emotional awakening and as a time when I came to grips with the fact that I am capable of tapping into my emotions as a means to grow as a man, as a professional, and as a partner.
Ethan, Mid-30s - Tech
I didn’t quite know what to expect, and I’m still blown away. Andrew just has a knack of getting right to the source of what the real issue is. Where I was stuck, he just went layers deep and guided me to the origin of so much heaviness and repression. The safe space he holds allowed me to go there and experience a massive release. The results were so fast. I rose from the session feeling liberated, lighter and free to be me. I can’t recommend it enough.
Man in late 20s
I would not be here without Andrew and how he helped me unlock a lot of things in my life. No joke, this year has been one of the most painful and intense years of my life, and I have been able to mine every emotion and lesson out of it because Andrew was there by my side.
His empathy is empowering because he understands how hard it is to feel those emotions, and is committed to being right there next to you through all the ups and downs. And I’m grateful for his laugh. It’s totally human - as he has, first and foremost, been transformed by engaging in the very processes that he teaches. He’s been through it. He knows.
I’m grateful for this work every day and how I can stand on the work we did.
Man, late 30’s - Coach
Andrew helped me move from relying on my intellect to tapping into the wisdom of my body and emotions. He’s challenged me, and I’ve witnessed him challenge many others in small group settings, to stop telling stories and start feeling into what’s actually true for them. He has an uncanny ability to know when someone is holding back, when and how much to push them out of their comfort zone, and when to ease up and sit with them in their, often newfound, emotional experience.
Father - Late 40s
A big thank you to the Higher Self Hotline! I was at the crossroads of a big decision. The session not only gave me the clarity I had been craving, but it became a deep dive into my relationship to decision-making.
We found and confronted the core beliefs that were sabotaging my decision-making as an adult. I saw the pattern of why decisions are so hard for me. It was so illuminating.
Andrew holds a safe and strong container that made it easier to explore the deep-seated fears and shadows that were impacting me. I highly recommend.
Product, Web3
I experienced significant personal breakthroughs on a retreat led by Andrew. His facilitation surfaced issues I have pondered for a while, but in a haphazard way – more designed to ignore the yearnings than confront their reality and challenge.
In the retreat, these realizations hit me like bolts of lightning, forcing me to realize the deep nature of certain longings, and prompted me to explore them more deeply. They made me recognize that I wished to live differently than I had for the past decade – as a worker, husband and father.
This retreat changed my life. It all combined in an alchemical way to affect me deeply. It was like magic. It produced some profound realizations, which continue to direct and guide my life choices two years later.
As a result of the retreat and other sessions with Andrew, I have confronted behavioral patterns I wished to change, and have taken considerable effort to evolve them into more constructive, positive, uplifting behaviors – for me, my friends, my wife and my children. This work directly contributed to my life path today.
I experienced Andrew as a supportive and organized facilitator. I found him to be a calm presence. No part of the retreat or Hotline felt rushed, or templated. When Andrew is with you, he is completely with you, which I also appreciated.
I am very grateful for this shift in my life. Thank you for always believing in me, Andrew.
– Father in Mid-40s
Andrew is a deep soul with so much wisdom and kindness coming through his facilitation. I have witnessed Andrew’s gifts in several settings, including a men’s group we participated in together for an extended time.
Whenever challenging moments emerged in that container I always knew that Andrew would gracefully lead the charge and navigate the individual, and ultimately the group to firmer and higher ground.
He approaches life and his work with honesty and integrity, and that is reflected in the spaces he creates and holds for healing and self discovery.

Thank you so much Andrew. Really powerful stuff!
Writer & Workshop Participant
Andrew is resilient and powerful beyond words! He just navigated a serious health battle, while in social isolation for months and months, and still found a way to do some of the best coaching work he’s ever done despite being in and out of the hospital. For reals ya’ll…this man is something else.

I’ve had incredible experiences with therapy, counseling, self-development programs, and sat in religious and spiritual ceremonies. I’ve engaged in transformational work for a decade now, so I truly mean it when I say the conversations I have with Andrew operate at an incredibly high level. Our sessions have a transcendent quality. Recently, I’ve felt like a star caught in a web of self-doubt, darkness, anger, frustration. I know I have more to offer and give but it's felt inaccessible on my own. In working together, Andrew helped me find an opening, and guided me to powerfully free myself from the web of darkness. It’s not just insight–it’s movement, it’s freedom, and it’s rare.
I've had multiple Higher Self Hotlines with Andrew. I love that I can just dump a ton of thoughts and emotions on him, fully trusting in his ability to extract key takeaways for me to focus on as I process my experience. I feel proud of the work I do in these sessions. I walk away from each one feeling empowered with a sense of clarity and direction.
Andrew knows exactly how much to challenge me, and how to dig deeper to uncover insights that are more subtle and more important than what’s on the surface. He doesn’t tiptoe around challenges. Too many people are careful, cautious, or surface-level when engaging in this kind of work. I value his wisdom and willingness to go into uncharted territory together. There’s depth, directness, and he has an ability to go where others won’t.
Female, late 20’s - Designer & Coach
Working with Andrew has given me a sixth sense. My natural tendency is to lean logical, rational, and analytical. I wasn’t tuned into emotional wavelengths before—but now I’m way more sensitive to them. I see it constantly: I can recognize my own emotions, name them, and articulate them to let someone know where I’m at.
I’m so much more connected to the experience of others. At work, this emotional skill helps me diffuse tension when the team and I are talking past each other. I can name what’s really bugging them, reassure them, and bring us back to connection.
This sixth sense is like a new superpower I didn’t have before that plays out across my life. I perceive a wider spectrum of the human experience now, and I bring it into my day-to-day in a consistent way—it’s not some fleeting thing.
Andrew also helped me navigate complex situations that unfolded in my life. He was adept in unpacking all the dynamics involved, highlighting the patterns I didn’t see in myself that were not helping the situation, and showed me a better path forward. It’s been incredibly beneficial.
Also, a big shoutout to Andrew’s ability to present the emotional work in a way that bridged my very logical, rational, analytical default way of thinking. He explained the more emotional aspects of the work we were doing in a way that fit into my existing mental models.
Andrew’s patience as a teacher also stood out. Even when I wasn’t understanding something, he kept meeting me where I was at.
Both his ability to translate the work to fit my defaults and his patience were huge in helping me integrate the work instead of resisting it.
This is a great moment to say thank you, Andrew, for all you’ve taught me.
Founder, AI
Andrew has helped me so much in short amount of time. I’m a first time founder and I feel like he distilled years of hard-fought experience into something easy for me to understand and implement. He spans the mental, practical and tactical. He can see the big picture and the most minute of details. He can riff on revenue and then drop strategies for contracts and negotiation. It’s been invaluable for shortening my learning curve and navigating the CEO role with success and more ease than I’d likely be experiencing without his help.

This man is a powerhouse. I spent time with Andrew doing men’s work and he brought out something rare and precious that I connected to: deep ownership. I’m so glad we were on that team together and hope we do it again soon.

Emotions + Product-Market Fit = Product-Emotional Fit
Andrew’s Product-Emotion Fit workshop has proven to be a highly valuable exercise. We were just launching our beta, and I was curious to see how this process could enhance our marketing and messaging for the launch.
Admittedly, my strength lies in product development, and this approach pushed me beyond my usual problem-solution, analytical strategy mindset, helping me tap into the heads and hearts of my customers.
Even with a limited set of users and minimal feedback, Andrew extracted the core emotional needs, desires, and fears of our potential users. He isolated the words/phrases to emphasize and the ones to avoid. He identified emotional KPIs and the “anti-KPI,” which was also very helpful.
I’ll admit, I was skeptical that emotional resonance was this important or that this was the best use of time.
I was skeptical at first—unsure if emotional resonance mattered this much or if this was the best use of time. That doubt didn’t last long. The process turned out to be invaluable. It transformed how I spoke to customers, how we crafted our marketing copy, and even how we designed questionnaires for user feedback. It felt like I had a deep connection with customers far earlier than I normally would. And when I actually spoke to customers, I was getting more accurate, deeper insights out of those conversations because of this head start.
Also, it was incredibly valuable because it got me connecting with users on a human level, with an idea of what their internal story might be as it relates to our product.
It’s proven accurate too—what we see coming back from customers backs it up. The way they describe our product, the impact it has on their lives, the things that resonate with them—the more we focus on that kind of language, the more it hits.
This work just proves how important it is to sell to the emotions of customers and not just the problem-solution dynamic. And the results have been so strong that I know I can lean into them even more.
I have never looked at Product-Market Fit from the standpoint of understanding the emotions and shadows of customers. But this has been a powerful, useful, and valuable process for me and for our business.

I give my full endorsement for Andrew. This man is special, and his work is a gift.
Having studied the mind and done inner work for over 20 years with many high-level coaches (some charging 6-figures), I can easily say Andrew is at the top of that list. His unique combination of knowledge, ability, heart and compassion has taken me deeper than any coach and has profoundly impacted my life.
Not many people in this world have the skills that Andrew has, and working with him has had a profound impact on my life.
Andrew was able to get me out of my mind and into my heart—a space that had eluded me for years. I was overly focused on masculine energy: controlling, over-thinking, and wanting to bend the world to my will. I thought discipline and mindset alone would create the life I wanted, but this approach left me stuck in a tense journey.
Andrew helped me discover the power of feminine energy and how to bring that into better balance with my masculine. I learned to flow with life, trust my heart, and allow things to unfold with patience and divine trust. I began letting go of the control that I thought was a tool but was really a prison. Though initially scary, cultivating this balance brought out my best self.
Now I'm free to show up with an open heart, ready for whatever comes next. I live in deep trust that each moment is perfect, even when it's not what I want. It’s total freedom.
Our sessions were filled with emotion, heart-opening expansions, and deeper understanding of the parts of me that had been controlling and stubborn. Andrew helped me learn how to get out of my head and into my body, bringing love and curiosity to neglected aspects of myself. Cultivating balance with my feminine has absolutely brought out the best version of me, and has even strengthened my masculine.
This work is about accessing the body to know what's really happening beyond mental programs and shadow stories—a skill not taught in our society. Having a masterful guide like Andrew is crucial to accessing those parts of your being that are screaming for attention.
I've introduced about a dozen people to Andrew, and all have had transformational experiences, gaining new insights and deeper understanding of themselves. These men have evolved before my eyes, becoming who they've always wanted to be.
