ITL158: Can You Still Parent Your Kids Well Without Having Much Money?
November 08, 2014 11:00 - 25 minutes - 35.6 MBOn this week’s episode, I discuss money and the influence it should have on your parenting style. How does the amount of money you have (or don’t have) affect your parenting style? Obviously both can create issues and both have to do with the thinking of the parents. If you have more money, there are more places you can go or vacation, but that stuff isn’t necessary under the umbrella of “parenting.” Our goal is to raise kids who become great adults. I’ve seen situations where having...
ITL157: How Do You Help Kids Find The Right Career Path?
November 01, 2014 15:29 - 21 minutes - 30.7 MBOn this week’s episode, I give some advice to a family with two boys gifted in different ways, and I give suggestions on how the parents can help guide them to the right career paths. My wife says I have been gifted with being able to remember every single thing I’ve ever seen or heard, and I do have one very odd gift that I will display on occasion. I can listen to someone and repeat almost instantly what they are saying with some of the inflections and barely miss a beat. My teachers...
ITL156: Overcoming Your Emotional Instability – With Special Guest, Patsy Clairmont
October 25, 2014 10:00 - 20 minutes - 28.6 MBOn this week’s episode, we have Patsy Clairmont back in the studio to talk about her new book Twirl, and share some personal stories. A lot of people have ideas but it’s rare the people can actually pull them off. Patsy brings people into her home who need to do something creative in their lives. It’s a planned way of getting in touch with the stories that have been sitting inside you for years. Patsy’s battle against agoraphobia: I was an agoraphobic by the time I hit my early twe...
ITL155: How I Grew My Blog into My Full-Time Job – Interview with Special Guest, Crystal Paine
October 18, 2014 10:00 - 27 minutes - 38.8 MBOn this week’s episode, we have Crystal Paine, “THE Money Saving Mom,” in our studio to answer a few questions about how her business has grown into what it is today. How did this all get started? My husband and I committed to stay out of debt while he went to law school. We were literally living on beans and rice, but we started finding ways to stretch our dollars because we had to. I was a new mom and started blogging about frugal topics, and there was a lot of interest from outside...
ITL154: Not Finding the Right Role Model? This Works EVERY Time
October 11, 2014 10:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on finding role models when none are present in your life. If you’re having a hard time finding role models, then you’re already on the right track because you’ve identified the need to seek out others. How do you find somebody to be mentored by? Get biographies and read about people. You will learn from their great decisions and mistakes. Compare and contrast what you’re reading with what you’re seeing around you. I urge yo...
ITL153: What Makes a Successful Coach? (And Andy’s Criteria for Being Coachable)
October 04, 2014 10:00 - 24 minutes - 34.7 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question about the characteristics of a successful coach. I speak and write but I also have a couple of clients, including football teams. My criteria for taking on a client: I’ve got to like them. I have to be convinced that their belief level is at a point where they can accomplish great things. Their ability to process information and shift on the fly is also important. People can only achieve to the level that they really believe. ...
ITL152: Release Your Creativity with Special Guest Patsy Clairmont
September 27, 2014 02:36 - 25 minutes - 35.1 MBOn this week’s episode, we have very special guest Patsy Clairmont in the studio to talk about her life and have some laughs. I was on tour with Patsy for three years while touring with Women of Faith. If I kept a list of my favorite speakers, I don’t know if it would be her or Zig Ziglar at the top. I can honesty say, professionally, watching her speak was the best experience I’ve ever had. Listen in to hear Patsy talk about the small group workshop in her home, and tell stories a...
ITL151: When Someone in Your Life Commits Suicide
September 20, 2014 15:25 - 18 minutes - 26.1 MBOn this week’s episode, I respond to a listener question about discussing the topic of depression and suicide prevention. This week’s topic comes from a father who lost his daughter to suicide in a nationally televised story. I know it must be one of the hardest things in the world when somebody you love so deeply makes a decision to do this. I heard in your letter that she left behind two boys, 3 & 7. Navigating this for them is going to be tough. As they get older, they will need y...
ITL150: Jubilee: A Fisherman’s Dream Come True
September 13, 2014 10:00 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MBOn this week’s episode, I talk about a very unusual summer event that occurs a few times a year on the shore of Mobile Bay. Something very unique happened earlier this week while at a book signing in Fairhope, Alabama. There is a 15-mile stretch on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. In the late summer on a still night between two and five in the morning, fish pile up on the shore for several hundred yards. I’m talking thousands. Flounder, Whiting, Mullet, Shrimp, and more. This is only o...
ITL149: The Difference Between Coaching and Mentoring
September 06, 2014 10:00 - 16 minutes - 23.6 MBOn this week’s episode, I address a listener question on the distinction between coaching and mentoring. The question we received is, “What are the differences between coaching and mentoring, and does the distinction really matter?” I think the distinction does matter, at least financially. Mentoring is less in your face, and it’s a little more guidance oriented. When a specific relationship is outlined and you have a detailed goal, you are getting into the coaching area. I’ve been m...
ITL148: How Do You Find Peace When Dealing with Death?
August 30, 2014 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26 MBOn this week’s episode, I address a listener question about my perspective on finding peace when dealing with death. This topic was on my mind when I was writing The Noticer Returns. When I wrote this book, I wanted to have Jones deal with several things that people have a hard time with. I wanted to handle this subject with sensitivity, but in a way that answers questions and gives people real comfort. Listen in as I answer this question by reading a full chapter from The Noticer Retur...
ITL147: How to Refine Your Methods and Accelerate Your Success
August 23, 2014 13:59 - 18 minutes - 18.1 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on how to turn big powerful thoughts into smaller, concise statements so they can be clearly communicated to others. Before getting into that, we have a quick announcement. There are not a whole whole lot of opportunities for ticketed events to hear me speak. Crossroads Church in Oklahoma City is holding the 2014 Leadership Conference with Jon Acuff, Dr. Mark Rutland, and myself on September 26th, 2014. We’ve all heard the statements:...
ITL146: What to Say to Your Kids When They're Too Hard on Themselves
August 16, 2014 10:00 - 23 minutes - 22.5 MBOn this week’s episode, I share my perspective on how to talk to your kids when they are being to hard on themselves and falling apart. As parents, it is crucial that we are vulnerable about our pasts. Some kids need to know another person has experienced the same problems as they have. Obviously we’ve forgotten what being 12 feels like, but we can try to imagine how things are going on in their minds. My son, Adam, is very sensitive and tends to think about things that might not bother...
ITL145: What kinds of books should you and your children read?
August 09, 2014 16:35 - 25 minutes - 24 MBOn this week’s episode, I respond to a question about reading biographies to children and my thoughts on fiction. I would read biographies to the boys when they were younger and paraphrase to make it more age-appropriate. With biographies you can foster an interest in history and good lessons. Non-Fiction will inform and teach, and I believe it is important to be able to explain why a certain thing will work. I find it weird when people have a sort of snobbery toward fiction. ...
ITL144: What Should You Make Your Kids Work For, and What Should You Just Give Them?
August 02, 2014 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.7 MBOn this week’s episode, I discuss a popular listener question: “What should you provide for your kids, and what should they have to work for?” Some parents have a cut and dry answer for that, but I don’t. My answer changes depending on what’s going on. It’s according to how they are behaving. If I sense a spirit of gratefulness, then there are more things that I will handle for them. A lot of the time it’s not even things they are aware of. The one thing that can truly stop it in a hea...
ITL143: The Rarely Asked, But Often Pondered Question: What’s the Correct Handshake Etiquette for Girls?
July 26, 2014 10:00 - 18 minutes - 18.2 MBOn this week’s episode, I respond to a listener question about handshake etiquette for girls. I don’t think there is a “right” or “wrong,” but I do think there is a “best.” There are a couple of schools of thought here: One is the old-school “debutant” school of thought: Women go to college to find a husband. Everything a woman does should be geared toward a wife and homemaker. I don’t know if there is anything more important than that, but there are definitely other things that may be...
ITL142: The Wild Voyage of The Perfect Moment
July 19, 2014 14:41 - 13 minutes - 12.9 MBOn this week’s episode, I talk about my special new book, The Perfect Moment, and the peculiar story of how it came to be published: It all started while I was throwing football with one of my boys. That led to a magical conversation, and it became a story for our friends. I wrote it down, and then it became a story I would tell on stage. We turned it into a free downloadable eBook and then finally Simple Truths said that they would like to publish it in hardcover. (more in the video) ...
ITL141: When does “The Buck Stops Here” NOT apply? (Response to a Tough, Heavy Question)
July 12, 2014 14:49 - 23 minutes - 22.5 MBBefore getting into our discussion, I wanted to give a shout-out to my friend Wes Hampton. He and his family were over this past 4th of July weekend and we had a lot of fun grilling and watching the kids play. Wes also has a Kamado Joe (plus his own cookbook), so we had a great cooking discussion. Find Wes on Facebook or head over to WesHampton.com, and you can find his recipes there. This week’s topic comes from a pastor who sometimes works with victims of sexual abuse, and what “accept...
ITL140: How to be Content and Ambitious at the Same Time
July 05, 2014 10:00 - 14 minutes - 14.5 MBOn this week’s episode, I address the question of how to balance contentment and the things you want in life. There are several things I want to do and want to have. Before anything “goes up on our refrigerator,” so to speak, I see if it fits my criteria… Does this line up with my mission in life? Would it make my mission more vibrant and successful? Can this thing be a tool to help people? We are very joyful whether we get to do something or not. There is an understanding that we don’...
ITL139: Surprising Things Your Kids Can Learn from a Garden
June 28, 2014 10:00 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBOn this week’s episode, I talk about the benefits of gardening with your family and answer a listener question on divided families. We have a little garden of eight blackberry bushes that we planted three years ago. The first year we got a few blackberries. The second year we got a lot of blackberries. This year we couldn’t pick them all at one time. This is a great thing parents can do with their kids. Get a couple of plants, take your kids in the backyard, dig a hole, pour some...
ITL138: What Other Families Teach Us About Generational Legacy
June 21, 2014 10:00 - 17 minutes - 16.5 MBOn this week’s episode, I share my thoughts on a listener question about generational advancement. Reversing generational curses or trends is a huge thing to me, and I’ve spent a great deal of time searching for answers on this topic. The most important thing I’ve learned on this search comes from studying many other families. I’ve studied families that have been affected by negative generational things. I’ve studied families that have had huge generational success. For people to ...
ITL137: A Brief History of My Father
June 14, 2014 10:00 - 14 minutes - 32.9 MBOn this week’s episode, I’m sharing a story I wrote about my dad. It’s not really a short story since all of it is true. It has been pieced together from things I remember, and stories I have heard from others who knew him. I wanted my boys to have a description of their grandfather in the event that I am not able to give the oral history. My father had a different method of parenting. He was kind of nut. Not a professional nut like I am, but still a nut. This story takes you tho...
ITL136: How Does a Successful Marriage Work?
June 07, 2014 10:00 - 27 minutes - 26.3 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on what it really takes to have a successful marriage. Occasionally you hear people say, “We don’t have any problems. We don’t fight ever.” Anytime I hear that, I always think that somebody is being fooled. I don’t know how two people can exist and not have to work some things out. If you have ever been involved in a long-term friendship, there have been moments that you could have walked away from the friend and never done anything wi...
ITL135: The Paradox Between Thinking and Action
May 31, 2014 10:00 - 23 minutes - 22.1 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on thinking and how it inspires action. Most people believe that their choices determine where they are. In a way they do, but you can’t really control your choices any more than you can control the flip of a coin. Unless you have a process in place for guiding your choices, at best you can hope to make 50% of your choices right. Thinking determines the choices we make, choices determine actions, and actions determine our reputatio...
ITL134: How to be Intentionally Grateful
May 24, 2014 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.3 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on which three words I would use to describe myself. One of them would definitely be searching. In the second decision –“I will seek wisdom”– I thought for a number of years that the most important word was wisdom. The most important word is seek. I’ve become so much more aware of searching because I’ve finally figured out that there is a lot more to the things that I thought I knew. Even if you are an expert in a field, there are ...
ITL133: Displacing Negative Thoughts
May 17, 2014 10:00 - 15 minutes - 36.3 MBOn this week’s episode, I address a listener question on displacing negative thoughts. You can’t leave your mind blank. When we don’t choose what goes in our minds, our minds fill up with things that point our thoughts in other directions. These directions may affect our choices in ways we would really rather not choose. How many times have we said to ourselves, “what was I thinking?” Think about this…. If I was to sing, “Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…” You would im...
ITL132: How to Honor Your Mother Year-Round
May 10, 2014 10:00 - 23 minutes - 54.8 MBOn this week’s episode, we honor our mothers with an episode not just for Mother’s Day. A couple of weeks ago the boys found a vine hanging down from a tree. I can remember telling Polly, “They’re fine.” I didn’t say, “You’ll be fine.” Adam was yelling, “It’s perfectly safe!” So as Polly is swinging, the vine cracks and mama fell from the sky. What a great mom these boys have. As crazy as that was…what a great memory. I say this to friends of mine whose mothers pass away: First...
ITL131:The Benefits of a Family Mission Statement
May 03, 2014 10:00 - 24 minutes - 57.4 MBOn this week’s episode I discuss why your family needs a mission statement and how my family created ours. I’ve never seen a successful company that didn’t have a mission statement. I found out that a friend of mine, Sandy Stimpson, has a family mission statement for his family. He suggested that we make our own. Polly, the boys, and I sat down and decided… What is important? Where do we want to go? What is the best? What result are we after? How do we act? ...
ITL130: What to Do When You're Frustrated or Worried
April 26, 2014 10:00 - 31 minutes - 43.9 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question about the hardest thing in my life and what I worry about the most. I think frustration is one of the hardest things in my life. First, I don’t want to come across sounding ungrateful or jealous. I see celebrities on YouTube with millions if not billions of views and I ask, what are they offering that will change your family for the better? Some of my friends like Wes Hampton or Sugarcane Jane are great musicians with a positive m...
ITL129: The Most Important Quality You Can Have
April 19, 2014 10:00 - 24 minutes - 34.5 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on self-sabotage and the most important quality in people. We’ve talked on several other episodes about how the way you think is the foundation for everything. The things we listen to, watch, and read totally affect what we believe. I have come to the conclusion that people cannot achieve beyond what they really believe. Out of the organizations and companies that I speak for, athletes usually have the hardest time believing this...
ITL 128: The Most Reliable Parenting Advice I've Found
April 12, 2014 10:00 - 28 minutes - 27.1 MBOn this week's episode, I talk about the first steps Polly and I took when we found out we were going to be parents. I never expected to do anything like this, but I think this is the most important thing I’ve ever done. 15 years ago when Polly sat me down and said “we are going to have a baby,” I was excited…and then broke out in a cold sweat. I really dug into parenting right from the beginning. I wanted to give my wife and I more certainty for this life we were about to guid...
ITL127: My Newest Book and a Surprise Opportunity
April 05, 2014 10:00 - 21 minutes - 20.5 MBMy Newest Book and a Surprise Opportunity On this week’s episode, I talk about the release of The Seven Decisions and how you can win a Kamado Joe grill. We did an episode a few weeks ago on the Kamado Joe, and ended with saying that we wanted to have a Kamado Joe giveaway. Well, we have done it. Anyone who pre-orders The Seven Decisions and sends us their receipt will be entered in a drawing for their very own Joe in either black or brick red. • You can be entered in the contest ...
ITL126: 5 Important Writing Lessons for Any New Writer
March 29, 2014 10:00 - 30 minutes - 22 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer a listener question: "What should a new writer focus on the most?" The one most important thing to focus on is writing. You would not believe how many people I talk to who are “waiting to be inspired.” Their short answer is, “No, I am not writing.” Only the process of doing it gets it done. I hear terribly incomplete advice given to writers. Write what you’re interested in, but keep seeking more information. It will get you excited when you find what...
ITL125: The Toughest Mental Obstacle I've Faced
March 22, 2014 10:00 - 22 minutes - 16.2 MBThe Toughest Mental Obstacle I’ve Faced On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question about the toughest mental obstacle I had to cross after overcoming homelessness. Has there been any point when I felt like hiding under the pier again? I occasionally feel like crawling back under the pier. I say that jokingly, but I really am very aware of where I am when I walk on that pier. Living under the pier was undoubtedly the worst time in my life, but without that perspective I d...
ITL124: The Andy Andrews Guide to Cooking
March 15, 2014 07:28 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBOn this week’s episode, I talk about my passion for cooking outdoors, reveal my secret recipe for the best grilled vegetables ever, and discuss why I like to put things that I actually use into the stories in my books. I am kind of a foodie. I enjoy making and eating great food. I don’t know if it’s just a southern thing, but we seem to devise events around food. I really like cooking outside. I’m a grill guy, and I love the charcoal taste. I come from a long line of “grill peopl...
ITL123: Why It's Important to Attend Conferences and Events
March 08, 2014 11:00 - 24 minutes - 17.4 MBOn this week’s episode, I talk about how you can win tickets to see me (along with many other awesome speakers) speak at Dave Ramsey’s SMART Conference! This is going to be an amazing event at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, TX—with speakers: Dave Ramsey Rachel Cruze Dr. Henry Cloud Dr. Emerson Eggerichs Joy Eggerichs Dr. Meg Meeker Andy Andrews People forget that Dave had to learn his financial stance as an adult a...
ITL122: The New “Anger Management”
March 01, 2014 11:00 - 21 minutes - 15.4 MBOn this week’s episode, I talk about the new “anger management”—conflict resolution. When I hear the term still used, I always think, “Anger management? Why would you want to manage something like that and not get rid of it?” You can defuse a conflict, but that doesn’t mean it’s over. If the underlying causes of a conflict are not dealt with, there really is no resolution. Society believes two things about change. You must have a deep desire to change. You have to be at rock b...
ITL121: A Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Writing Process
February 22, 2014 11:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBA Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Writing Process On this week’s episode, I discuss my creative process for writing even in the midst of rejection. The greatest book ever written is in somebody’s drawer somewhere. They put it out there, it got turned down a few times, and they decided to put it away. Gone With the Wind was rejected 34 times. Part of my creative process is to do battle with myself quickly. I try not to let wondering if something is working drag me downhill. Publish...
ITL120: Curious Questions on Time Travel, Wisdom, and My Career
February 15, 2014 11:00 - 25 minutes - 18.4 MBOn this week’s episode, I answer listener questions about time-travel and my switch from comedy to whatever it is that I do now. Would you rather go into the future to meet your great grandchildren, or travel backward and meet your great grandparents? If I went into the future to meet my great grandchildren, I wouldn’t learn anything from them that will change my life and in turn allow me to change their lives. The best I could do is try to convince them to do something or not do somet...
ITL119: How to Make Decisions and Overcome Shyness
February 08, 2014 11:00 - 31 minutes - 22.4 MBOn this week’s episode, I give my two cents on some of my favorite responses to our previous listener question: “If you could have a five-minute phone call with your 18-year-old self, what would you tell yourself to be aware of?” From our listener… "Just pick up the phone and make the needed phone call. Just do it. Returning needed phone calls, or calling to confirm, cancel or postpone appointments is part of the process of becoming a responsible, dependable person. Don't shut the door o...
ITL118: The Funny Side of Parenting
February 01, 2014 11:00 - 27 minutes - 19.5 MBOn this week’s episode, we have comedian and good friend Jeff Allen on the show to have some laughs and answer a few questions. Jeff is one of my great buddies and, to me, is one of the funniest working stand-up comedians today. One of my favorite bits of his is the Three-Word Vocabulary It’s the signature piece of trying to argue with a 16-year-old. Pfffff, Khhhhk, and Whatever. “Whatever” comes in different frequencies, but one of them affects my nerves. My son Austin is ge...
ITL117: Money Vs. Time: Which Is More Valuable?
January 25, 2014 11:00 - 19 minutes - 14.3 MBOn this week’s episode, we answer a fun question from a listener: Would you rather win the lottery or live twice as long? As history has shown us, winning the lottery can be life changing…but not always in a great way. • This is something I think we all have fantasized about. • I think we all have a purpose and I’ve asked myself the question… • Would I continue to write if I didn’t have the pressure? How many times in my life am I not...
ITL116: What If My Spouse Doesn't Want to Grow?
January 18, 2014 11:00 - 30 minutes - 21.4 MBOn this week’s episode, Andy discusses a listener question: I’m making an effort in positive personal development, but my spouse is not ready to do the same. What do you do until they’re ready, or how do I continue to nudge them in the right direction without being “pushy” or making them feel inferior? This is a huge source of confusion is marriages. We all grow at different… • Rates • Times • Areas Confidence or Arrogance? • Don’t brag about the improvements that you are making. • I...
ITL115: Are You Attracting Opportunity...or Repelling It?
January 11, 2014 11:00 - 24 minutes - 17.4 MBWhat is it about you that other people would change if they could? I’m not saying we should live our lives according to other people. What I am saying is if you look at your life, business, family, and want people to believe what you believe, it really helps if they like you a little bit. What if 25% of people were not comfortable with swearing? If you’re a business person, would you be okay with having 25% less business just because of the way you talk? I had a friend who wanted to ...
ITL114: The Surprising Benefits of Spending Time Alone
January 04, 2014 11:00 - 20 minutes - 14.7 MBOn this week's episode, I talk about the surprising benefits of spending time alone. Why is it important to spend time alone? • Spending time alone is the best way to concentrate my thoughts. • It’s a good way to stimulate creativity. • If I can wake up before my family and refrain from checking email, my phone, or turning on the news, I can have amazing results. This isn’t so much about being alone as it is about spending time with my boys, but while driving the boys to school, I reac...
ITL113: How to Be More Decisive
December 21, 2013 11:00 - 26 minutes - 19.1 MBOn this week’s episode, I address the difference between being decisive and impulsive. More people fail at what they attempt because of an undecided heart than any other reason. They’ll talk to their friends. Then talk to their family. Finally, they’ll make a decision. Then they’ll ask if they should have waited longer to make a decision. Then they’ll take the decision back. Life then becomes an ongoing analysis. The question you need to ask yourself before making a decision is…Is t...
ITL112: A Christmas Tale for the Whole Family
December 14, 2013 11:00 - 23 minutes - 16.7 MBOn this week’s episode, I give the inside scoop on my short story Socks for Christmas and also do a live reading of the entire book. In this reading of Socks for Christmas, you will hear a childhood story about how the gift of socks is one of the greatest reminders I have for being grateful. I love talking about the inside scoop on some of these books, and to see the way that people use these stories to help others. In the picture below, Jan Burch in Key West, FL, organized a ...
ITL111: Your Own Personal Board of Directors
December 07, 2013 15:29 - 29 minutes - 28 MBOn this week’s episode, I explain what a personal board of directors is, and how you can create one for your life and/or business without spending a dime. I realized that most major companies and great speakers had a group of people that keeps them on track. I thought to myself, why can’t I have a board of directors? • My first answer was because I didn’t have any money • However, you don’t have to pay someone to be on your boa...

ITL088 : Chef Andy
June 07, 2013 22:21 - 23 minutes - 16.6 MBOn this week's episode, Andy discusses his passion for cooking and the steps to make his most famous dish. When did Andy start cooking? He started with breakfast foods at an early age, moving from toast to eggs and bacon. Was Polly skeptical about Andy being a good cook? She was delighted because chicken and rice was the only thing she knew how to make. Since then, Andy and Polly have worked together, and they both help prepare dishes. Why does Andy like cooking so much? He loves to e...
