Andrew Horn is an Austin, TX based social entrepreneur, speaker, writer and leadership coach. He has been featured on TED.com, founded an INC500 company, keynotes for the Fortune 500, and serves as a personal coach to “second mountain” entrepreneurs. Andrew is on a mission to support others in understanding how we create meaningful connections in an authentic way. We sat down to talk with Andrew about How to shift our focus from the external to the internal to access our truth, and how to share the most authentic version of ourselves in meaningful relationships. We explore how seeing this allows others to liberate their own truest selves as wellDistinguishing between liking vs loving ourselves - acknowledging that we need to know ourselves to love ourselves, and that we are dependent on how our eyes and brain interact with our external worldHow to break free from getting engulfed in the limiting belief patterns that cause us to create stories in our headAnd so much more! We know you’re going to be as inspired by this conversation with Andrew as we were.
