00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:07.599
to the subject matters covered. This information is given with
3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:12.000

the services of competent professionals before applying or trying any

8
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:32.960
At the end of the day, it's not about what
9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.320
you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.920
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.560
who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.

Andre welcome to the show.
16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.399
Thank you, thank you nice good to be here.
17
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.159
I'm excited to hear about all these things you got
18
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.520
to share. I love for you to share with the audience.
19
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.519
You have a journey, and you know, as I've read
20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.200
your biography and so forth, I know it's a fascinating journey,
21
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.239
and I'd love for you to share with the audience
22
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.920
that journey and what brought you to this point of
23
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.120
what you're doing, particularly with your project Equinox.
24
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.640
Oh okay, how far back? How far back you over
25
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.000
to go? Because it starts as five years old instead as.
26
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.280
Far well go a little senter than that.
27
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.719
Yeah, So in a nutshell, In a nutshell, when I
28
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.200
was five years old, I realized, I realized I was
29
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.439
born in the wrong family. And so what happened is
30
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.159
it was kind of baffling and scary, and I became
31
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.400
an observer of the world and people because I've started
32
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.599
to understand how that's possible. So I was the kid
33
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.719
who's always watching everyone. With that, I just I I
34
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.120
became fascinated with the human condition watching people, you know
35
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:55.680
what I mean, Like, why is this person cool? Why
36
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.519
is this personally like this? How come this? And how
37
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.959
come that? And how do people become with the you know?
38
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.840
Because again trying to understand me. But it was amazing.
39
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.799
So with that, I became super tuned with people's energy.
40
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.400
It just comes with a lifetime I'm observing, you kind
41
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.680
of tune to people. I can actually just tune into people,
42
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.719
which is really really really helpful for my work. But
43
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.719
and so again for me, it was trying to understand
44
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.960
for me and then decode human beings was my thing.
45
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.000
I was twenty three years old when I started taking
46
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.280
personal development workshop for the same reason. So I did
47
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.520
like personal development, business money, you know, get your life together,
48
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.319
let go your past, like all that stuff. Constantly trying
49
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.360
to get ahead of myself because I really felt like
50
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.400
I didn't know really why I was here. Really ultimately
51
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.520
that's didn't know why I was here. So it was
52
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.080
an interesting challenge, but that that kind of mindset. I've
53
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.080
always been very, very curious, and the human condition was
54
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.800
my poll so it just constantly put me into that.
55
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.599
Two thousand and six, I had like a couple of
56
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.879
careers in two thousand and six in phase two of
57
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.560
my life, I call it because I was a professional dancer,
58
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.639
and then I opened a business in Los Angeles. Midway
59
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:13.840
through this, I was still doing personal development. I'm in
60
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.719
San Jose, California, on a business workshop because it's trying
61
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.400
to get my business right. Like I raised the ceiling.
62
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.719
I meet this couple on the flight back to Los Angeles.
63
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.479
We're sitting on the same row, and I thought it
64
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.080
was just I thought life was random to that moment,
65
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.360
but it was a third pivotal moment in my life.
66
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.280
That moment. I'm sitting on the plane with these two
67
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.199
and the lady says to me, what do you do
68
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.599
next weekend? And they go next weekend, I'm free. Why
69
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.199
she goes, you want to come to a worshop? It's
70
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.520
on me, and I go, yes, of course, that's the fack.
71
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.879
I agree before I knew what it was, because I'm
72
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.000
want to learn something and my brain's like this, right
73
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.759
then those things to be costly, So then I go, so,
74
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:59.680
what's the worshop about? She was always called understanding women. Okay,
75
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.840
so when I tell this story, my friends like, really
76
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.599
do such a thing, and there's no such state. My
77
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.199
reaction was in that. My reaction was more like, because
78
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.599
I have an autistic personality and whatever, I looked the
79
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.639
way I look, and I've never had problems with the ladies,
80
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.519
right Like, I always attracted sweet women, is what I mean.
81
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.720
I attracted sweet women. I didn't do the crazies stuff
82
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.480
my friends did. So this is one of the area
83
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.399
that I was the most confident in life. And she's
84
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:32.040
like understanding women in a workshop this weekend. Oh like,
85
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.839
I remember thinking, like okay, whatever. But I was already
86
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.240
said I was going to go, so I went. I
87
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.959
thought it was gonna be cute. And I remember that
88
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.160
Saturday morning, I did not want to get in the
89
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.160
car to drive to the airport because it's one of
90
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:45.600
the airport hotels.
91
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.000
But hey, I.
92
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.120
Said I was going to go, and I thought it
93
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.399
was going to be cute. I walked in there four
94
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:57.839
hundred people, Oh interesting, three hundred women, one hundred men.
95
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.079
What but you can tell there was something in the air.
96
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.279
That's all I can tell you. Like I realized it's
97
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.399
like I was glad to be there, like whatever, for whatever, whatever,
98
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.319
something is going on. And so we're surrounded man who
99
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.920
peppered over the audience obviously say, but we're surrounded by
100
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.279
women on purpose. I realized that I was told this
101
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.680
after the fact because what they taught us about women
102
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.319
was insane, was mind boggling. I slipped off of my
103
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.720
chair at least seven times through other workshop, like just
104
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.720
came off my chair to the ground, just and disbelieve.
105
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.439
And the guy who's seemingly thought new women, who had,
106
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.720
you know, an infinity for women and whatever? Right, I
107
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.199
realized at the end of this workshop, my brain exploded.
108
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.360
I know, I realized I knew nothing like zero about
109
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.199
women at the time. I was so married with the
110
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.560
two little kids, and I realized what scared me is,
111
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.720
I know, not think about my wife. And I realized
112
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.800
some of the ways they operated, some of the stuff
113
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.800
that when I slipped off my chairs and realizing like,
114
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.360
oh my, that's and it would stop the workshop after
115
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.120
one of those big moments, and the worship leader would say,
116
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.759
just so you don't think it's me the crazy lady
117
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.240
out front, let's take five minutes. Check to the women
118
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.000
next to you. Right and I spend like there was
119
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:11.920
a nineteen year ol on my right and were like
120
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:12.879
what she's like.
121
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.879
Yeah, I'm like, well that's crazy. Well, sometimes we think
122
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.160
we're crazy. That's why that wouldn't make me nuts, well
123
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.519
sometimes a little bit nuts. And the kind of confirm
124
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.399
when I just learned that was unthinkable. It was unthinkable, Like,
125
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.639
you don't understand the way they process things, the way
126
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.759
they hear. They hear different than we do, which sounds insane,
127
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.800
but they hear different than we do. They're attached obviously
128
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.079
different things. What motivates it?
129
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.199
They think they take everything personally, not because they're crazy.
130
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:42.800
There's a good reason, but like to a level that anyway.
131
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.079
So I came home kind of devastated or scared, actually
132
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.360
it was the right word, because I thought, if I
133
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.639
know anything about my wife, what am I doing to her?
134
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.399
Not knowing? That could be a liability, right because all
135
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.839
my brothers and sisters are divorced too, three four times,
136
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.759
like all of them. I have my family, babies, I
137
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.040
have my wife. We're not we're not looking for this information.
138
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.120
We're doing fine. But I now realized I don't really
139
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.079
know how like what's going on with her, like to
140
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.680
the point that I realized over the weekend. So that
141
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.639
was to me again my curious brain went into I'm
142
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.360
not going to be a statistic because I didn't know.
143
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.639
So I went crazy. I jumped in the company. That
144
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.240
company's curriculum. I did all their workshops. When I finished
145
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.319
a workshop, think there was like nine or ten, maybe
146
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.199
eleven different workshops about the relationship dynamics men and women.
147
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.120
After you pay for the workshops, you can actually go
148
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:37.879
back in the system, you know, be in the room
149
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.199
and assists for free, just right. So I was in
150
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.720
every weekend, I was in the workshop kind of wanted
151
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.560
to hear it again, hear it differently with different questions.
152
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.079
The material is so in tantalizing and it like detailed,
153
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.480
you know what I mean. And that's how it started.
154
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.040
Next to you know, I was I was on track
155
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:55.439
to become one of their worship leaders because I'm a teacher,
156
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.199
and so that didn't work out with that company, but
157
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.720
that's when the launch was happening, Like this is why
158
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.800
they realized like I had a passion for this and
159
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.360
I needed to discover it again. Originally just for me
160
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.480
and my wife, but very soon it was like I
161
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.600
was teaching my friends, I was teaching my customers at
162
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.160
the shop, like it became this machine. It kind of
163
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.519
took me over. And so I studied with four of
164
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.120
the masters, John Gray, Mars and Venus after that, and
165
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:27.120
doctor Pat Allen Los Angeles, a family child marriage therapist
166
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.680
for forty eight years of pretty six years at the time.
167
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:31.759
I spent three and a half years in a small
168
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.840
room with her and three other people, like she taught
169
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:38.840
us everything that she's learning, so master and relationships over
170
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:43.919
there alas sa'mstrong was the first lady ethropology pat doctor
171
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:45.840
John Gray. The past fifteen years of his work is
172
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.080
all about the chemistry of our bodies that affects our
173
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.919
brains and our behavior. That it's completely different. So I
174
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.759
kept studying, and like five masters later, with my own work,
175
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.039
I have this body of work that I, without arrogance,
176
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.799
I think is untouchable. It's a level touchable. So I
177
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.440
live to the code relationship's dynamic and to help men
178
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.840
and women attain a sustained, healthy relationship by understanding all
179
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:14.879
the differences that we don't understand, because that's what we
180
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.799
gets in that way. So so I told you, I
181
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:19.799
told you it's a big one.
182
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.480
That's great, and and you know it's it's it's fascinating
183
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.480
that you know, as you're talking about it, that the
184
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:34.600
genders do not understand each other. And and it's interesting,
185
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.080
you know, as I've gone into behavioral type of information
186
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.639
that I've done before, you know, I've noticed that, for instance,
187
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.440
there's a and it's not always accurate, but there's a
188
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.960
large percentage most women tend to be right brained. They're
189
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.639
much more spiritual, they're much more loving, that type of thing.
190
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.480
You know, men tend to be left brain where blah
191
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.440
blah blah blah, And that's how that goes.
192
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.000
It's a fact. It's a fact.
193
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.519
It's a fact, and and if you don't understand that,
194
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.559
that gets to be a real challenge. But I'd love
195
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.480
for you to share with the audience what And of course,
196
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.240
hopefully we've got some men listening here because you're going
197
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.600
to talk about the women, and maybe you'll talk a
198
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.799
little bit about the men as the women are listening.
199
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.840
So let's start with the women. What What are some
200
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:26.240
of the unique qualities and aspects to women's personalities that
201
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.559
we need to understand if we want to develop good
202
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.519
relationships and not only in marriage, but in business and
203
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.480
everywhere else. I mean, that's that's the bottom line.
204
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.120
Yeah, So in a nutshell, if forgetting, I'm going to
205
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.320
try to get you there quickly. It goes. It goes
206
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.240
back to anthropology and our ancestors and being men and
207
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.000
women and having you know, get hunt togethers and having
208
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:54.120
to come together a different, different style to survive. It
209
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.159
was all about survival, right, ethopologies about survival. Every instinctum
210
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.399
we have to survive. Hunters hunt gathers gathered, but one
211
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.759
one works with the other perfectly to be able to
212
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:08.879
can you know, pro create and continue the species survive, survive, survive, survive.
213
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.799
So with that, let's say on your nervous system, on
214
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:20.759
your DNA as a baseline hunter gatherer, there are two
215
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:25.480
completely different machines made you come together and work together,
216
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.919
but they're completely different. And so one of the things
217
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:32.639
with the ladies that men don't understand is being logical
218
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.399
in our heads. Like you said, right, we we we
219
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.519
plan things, we function through our logic. First, we have feelings,
220
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.600
we have deep feelings, but we don't drive our lives
221
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.759
to our feelings. We just we drive our lives for
222
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.799
our logic. Again, that's the only way to survive, right,
223
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.559
It's been going on for a millennia. The ladies drive
224
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.840
their liveshack you said, drive their lives to their feelings,
225
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.039
not their logic, their feelings. So what happens is they're
226
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.120
aware of everything that comes at them. That's part of
227
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.320
the reason. Everything they see, everything they hear, smell, tastes Dutch.
228
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:08.879
Whatever comes at them during a day's course makes them
229
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.759
feel good and bad, like back and forth, you know
230
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.600
what I mean. So, like their mood will change depending
231
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.600
on what's happening. She could have a really good day,
232
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.480
feel totally happy and her boss says, you know, you
233
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.159
really messed up in that document. You need to go
234
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:22.759
back and finish it and do it again. It was
235
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.919
you know, now she's feeling mad. She's now she's mad
236
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.559
or she's you know, like upset that she displeased and
237
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:32.960
she has to go back and we do it of
238
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.720
now she's in a bad mood, right, And then it's
239
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.720
like so they kind of do this through the day.
