Joining me today for an unfiltered conversation about transformation, sales mastery, and leadership is Andy Elliott, a powerhouse entrepreneur who built a 9-figure business empire after starting from nothing. Beginning his journey as a car salesman at 18, Andy shattered industry records and managed to scale to over $1 million annually before revolutionising the sales training industry with his tough-love approach to coaching.

In this episode, Andy takes us through his journey from a troubled upbringing to becoming one of the most influential voices in personal development. He opens up about the psychological triggers that drive real change, his philosophy on physical fitness as a foundation for success, and why maintaining high standards in every area of life is non-negotiable.

His no-nonsense approach to transformation and success makes this conversation a must-listen for anyone committed to reaching their full potential.
