I’m going to have to vote this cast of the year.
Andre completely knocked it outa the stadium, set the bat down gently, and strutted around the bases on this one.
What a humble, terrific interview. I have a renewed appreciation for his work. Thanks for doing this.
Russell
Hi Russell – for sure man.
Andre is the berries.
Every time I spend time in his world I just want start all over with mine.
His stuff is so clean, and so good and so logical.
Shows that we don’t need bells and whistles nearly as much as we need clarity and good stories.
Thanks for your note. (I hope you’ll “vote” with a review on iTunes)
Kevin
Great show! Always great to hear from Andre. Andre and Kevin, the dynamic duo, you guys should do a webinar or something together.
Russell, thanks my man. Humbled.
Long time ago I read two quotes that really resonated (and stuck) with me:
“Motivating the committed outperforms persuading the uncommitted.” – Seth Godin
“Clarity trumps Persuasion” – Dr. Flint McGlaughlin
I apply these two quotes as filters to everything I write and everything funnel I build.
Andre
hey Andre….
you know where kenrick learned the chain of beliefs and the two buckets from?
your truly (smile)

Rich, didn’t know that – I dunno why I though Kenrick was the source.
You should deep dive into the “chain of beliefs” stuff at our Ocean’s Four even in Orlando later this month (-:
Fascinating insights fellas,
Thanks to Andre for explaining the behind-the-scenes of Frank vs Matt (and ARM) – and also for taking risks we can learn from.
Love the “clean” look of both sites, and the room given to the words to breathe – of course, you still gotta write great copy within that format, and that’s where the real gold is in these examples.

Excellent interview. Lots of golden resources I’ll be adding to my site.
