Ep. 26: Compensation - The ONLY Way to World-Class

What Are You Willing to Throw Your Life Away On? ·

2026/03/13

A DEEP and foundational message: Life itself is a system of COMPENSATION. In this episode, Andrew speaks plainly and directly to you from the Awakened Forest without any of the spectacle of a large public audience. He goes DEEP into the philosophical explanations of why Compensation IS your main System/Structure in creating a World-Class company. We live in a world of “Incentives and Disincentives”... and BOTH the Positive and Negative need to be used in a balanced system that will LAST!

Ep. 25: The Music Business... A Few Considered Opinions

What Are You Willing to Throw Your Life Away On? ·

2026/02/13

In this interview episode, Andrew offers a clear-eyed look at the Music Business—not as mythology, but as lived reality. He explains why constraints (time, money, energy) often fuel creativity rather than restrict it, and why the most talented people are those who can take a small seed and make it grow! Andrew draws a sharp distinction between Art and Entertainment, stating that sometimes artists must eventually choose which path they’re willing to walk—and accept the consequences. The

Ep. 24: Ditch the Pick! Guitar Technique and Insights!

What Are You Willing to Throw Your Life Away On? ·

2026/01/30

Ditch the Pick! Andrew walks through insights gained over many years of playing the guitar and making music. He discusses the fingers as natural extensions (modified with acrylics) and the use of a “plectrum” (pick) as well as how a person’s playing, techniques and style change over time. He shares how one gains experience from “adapting around injuries”, with sometimes customizing instruments (often even shaving a Les Paul neck or any instrument) to get the feel right for you. Andrew has

Ep. 22: No One Has EVER Seen God!

What Are You Willing to Throw Your Life Away On? ·

2025/12/05

A STARTLING idea: No one has EVER seen God. Andrew invites you to suspend the images in our minds of a white-haired figure, in a robe and sandals—and look to the Unseen: Silence, Space, the supportive Nothing that holds everything together. NATURE becomes THE Master Teacher—clouds, waves, leaves—“perfect and doing their job,” while the Unnoticed (air, space, silence) proves dominant. From health we never notice or appreciate it until it breaks, to a cathedral altar inscribed “To the

Ep. 21: Turn Off the Radio to Find Yourself!

What Are You Willing to Throw Your Life Away On? ·

2025/11/21

Silence the noise. Turn off the radio, the Internet, the opinions—lie back under the night sky and listen inside. From frogs and crickets by a small pond to Star Trek’s imagined futures, Andrew argues that attitude shapes experience, that life’s “push–pull” world is ultimately upward, and that the external world—losses included—summons our courage and moves us forward. The counsel: choose a positive disposition, accept conflict as natural, and trust the voice you hear when the noise finally

2025/11/07

Andrew opens Day 1 of the CEO Retreat, attended by CEOs from across the country, by going straight to the heart of QUALITY—and where it REALLY comes from: within the Leader!

CEOs are urged to defeat corporateness without lowering Standards, but INCREASING their Standards. He also urges to build Self-Regulating Systems (training +

Ep. 19: Our Actions Come from Deep Within Us

What Are You Willing to Throw Your Life Away On? ·

2025/10/24

A night-born and perhaps SCANDALOUS idea: your ACTIONS don’t start on the surface—they rise from DEEP WITHIN! From a spontaneous moment on the Mountain—under a shooting star—walking past the emerging Church of Reconciliation, Andrew offers a third “sermon on the mount” and invites you to listen inside. He speaks of making Space—to see more clearly—where NATURE is THE Master Teacher of how Life actually works… that we must reconcile Both Halves (Light and Ash), accept Consequence, and take

Ep. 18: The Value of a Vision to Create FOCUS

2025/10/10

VISION!!! Often seen as “squishy” - a waste of time, especially if you’ve sat through “Vision Statement Creating” meetings. However, Vision is, in fact, one of the most VALUABLE things a person, as well as an organization, can make! Why? A great Vision can change your LIFE! Literally! It seems that Human beings need a “Bright Horizon” to look forward to! Without a Life-Giving Vision, people perish!In this episode, Andrew Reed dives into one of the most misunderstood — yet essential —

Ep. 17: Your Beliefs Are Limitations!

2025/09/28

A dangerous and perhaps scandalous idea: your beliefs don’t just guide you—they limit you! From a spontaneous moment of inspiration at the GameHaus, with Andrew walking toward the Church of Reconciliation, Andrew gave perhaps the 1st sermon on the “mount” or in this case, the mountain! Andrew talks about temporarily suspending beliefs to make space to consider other points of view and ideas - to see more clearly: Nature as THE Master Teacher as the truth of how Life operates on this planet,

2025/08/29

As part of living an Intelligent Life, Andrew proposes that we need NEW definitions of Productivity… that even in our times of rest or reflection, we are making progress… In fact, Productivity is perhaps overrated…as we NEED the GAPS, the PAUSES, the BREAKS from the routine to have BOTH halves of the Process of Life… In these Breaks, we often discover ourselves, sort out our true feelings, and find a new or renewed VISION for our lives… Only in these GAPS do we find rest, sensitivity,

From the Songstage Studio, Andrew talks about the song “He Found Himself.” This song is Andrew's story in 3 1/2 minutes! It's about Andrew “waking up” one day and realizing he REALLY didn’t like the corporate rat race he was on! Coming out of a difficult divorce, he purchased an old broken-down cabin and fixed it up with his own 2 hands! Andrew’s cabin is akin to Henry Thoreau’s on Walden Pond. There is something truly “liberating” when one takes the time to remove themselves from

This is one of Andrew’s BEST pieces of thought and work… as he shares a few time-tested observations that help explain the “world.” This understanding can help a person immensely to have a “Better Experience of Life” or a “Better State of Mind!” These ideas help a person be “Well Armored for this World” and remain relatively cool and more eloquent as you watch people panic, argue, fight, worry, and rush around, trying to survive or prove their moral superiority!
