1. Redefining Success Post-Burnout
After managing $55M in corporate projects, Andy realized that health and happiness are non-negotiable. Therapy and values-based decision-making helped him pivot toward building a business aligned with freedom, authenticity, and self-care.
2. Designing a Business That Fits Your Life
Using frameworks like Designing Your Life by Stanford professors Burnett and Evans, Andy helps clients create “Odyssey Plans” for their businesses—clear five-year visions that prioritize both financial goals and personal fulfillment.
3. The Studio Spark 12-Step Framework
Andy walks clients through a comprehensive system that includes values alignment, capacity and revenue math, offer refinement, and automation. His approach balances strategy with soul—building businesses people are proud of, not burned out by.
4. Smart Automation: Amplify, Don’t Replace
For teams running lean, Andy recommends starting with content creation and lead generation. By pairing AI with virtual assistants, small teams can operate with the efficiency of enterprise-level businesses, without losing their personal touch.
5. The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything
“Will I be happy with how I lived when it’s all said and done?” This question drives Andy’s choices today. His advice to overwhelmed founders: align decisions with your values, invest in what truly matters, and use technology to amplify—not override—your humanity.
