Before becoming a life transformation coach for elite business owners, Andrew Anderson stood crying alone in his high school bathroom stall, hiding his shoes so no one would know who was inside.
This raw vulnerability shared in the podcast sets the tone for a profound discussion between host Mike O'Neill and Andrew Anderson about why external success often fails to bring internal peace.
Anderson talks about a concept called "unconscious incompetence" - when successful people don't know what they don't know. Through powerful client stories, he illustrates how childhood programming shapes adult behavior, even in highly accomplished individuals.
Mike O'Neill masterfully draws out practical insights about breaking free from limiting beliefs, including:
The conversation goes down a wonderful path as Anderson shares how his father, "the greatest salesman in the world," shaped his ability to ask tough questions that others won't dare ask.
This episode goes beyond typical success advice to examine why accomplished people often feel stuck despite their achievements. Through real client examples, Anderson demonstrates how addressing root causes rather than symptoms leads to lasting change.
For leaders wondering why their external success hasn't brought internal peace, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on finding genuine fulfillment.

Andrew L. Anderson
what does fulfillment look like? And all these areas of your life and where are you not experiencing that? And if there's one of these dominoes that we could knock over first, which one would you choose, knowing that if that were to be a ten out of ten, everything else would feel so much easier.

Let's get started.
00:01:02:06 - 00:01:34:02
Mike O'Neill
Have you ever wondered why some leaders, despite their success, still feel unfulfilled? Today's episode explores this question and the hidden barriers that often hold high achievers back. I'm joined by Andrew Anderson, a life transformation coach who guides leaders to breakthrough limiting beliefs and find true purpose. What struck me is his approach to self-discovery helping clients let go of what no longer serves them so they can step into a more meaningful life.
00:01:34:04 - 00:01:56:24
Mike O'Neill
This conversation really resonated with what I've observed in my years of coaching. Often leaders get stuck not due to a lack of success, but because they need a fresh perspective on fulfillment. Andrew and I discuss practical ways to gain that perspective and create a life that feels as good as it looks. I'm Mike O'Neill, and this is the Get Unstuck, an On target podcast.
00:01:56:24 - 00:02:26:11
Mike O'Neill
Joining me today is Andrew Anderson, an author, speaker and life transformation coach who empowers elite business owners to break through barriers and achieve true fulfillment through discovery, awareness and choice. He helps clients uncover their own answers and make impactful life changes. Today, we'll delve into Andrew's journey and learn how he helps leaders find fulfillment and overcome limiting beliefs.
00:02:26:13 - 00:02:28:07
Mike O'Neill
Welcome, Andrew.
00:02:28:09 - 00:02:36:13
Andrew L. Anderson
It's great to be with you, Mike. Thanks for having me. And let's thank the listener. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. And we're here to serve today.
00:02:36:15 - 00:02:54:05
Mike O'Neill
We are here to serve. And thank you for saying that. We've been so blessed, to have as many listeners as we have. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that. Shout out to them. You know, I introduced our time together about overcoming barriers to fulfillment. I'd just like to kind of jump in, if you don't mind.
00:02:54:05 - 00:03:07:01
Mike O'Neill
And that is in your role as a coach. What do you find is the biggest obstacle for high performing business owners to encounter when they're really trying to strive? That sense of personal fulfillment?
00:03:07:19 - 00:03:29:06
Andrew L. Anderson
I'm to throw out some fancy words right at the beginning, and I'll define them. Unconscious incompetence. They don't know. Right. Unconscious incompetence. Where they don't know. They don't know what they don't know. And they think that this is as good as life gets. And yet they know something's missing. But. And it's really hard to find out what that is.
00:03:29:06 - 00:03:39:23
Andrew L. Anderson
And so they just keep doing what they do best, which is achievement, fulfillment, just killing it in their business. So unconscious incompetence, they don't know. They don't know.
00:03:40:00 - 00:04:01:22
Mike O'Neill
I don't know that phrase, but let me quote from your, LinkedIn profile. And this is in the about section. It reads, you're a business owner who believes in God and you're having massive success. Yet something's missing. You can't figure out what's preventing you from achieving the highest level of fulfillment in your life. You're stuck, and it's killing you.
00:04:01:24 - 00:04:22:18
Mike O'Neill
Yeah. That's a powerful that. Two sentences. Back to that two words you just introduced us to. They don't know. Yeah. So how do you help guide them and to get that sense of awareness?
00:04:22:20 - 00:04:44:14
Andrew L. Anderson
Well, I ask the questions that no one else has the courage to ask because, you know, like, high achievers can be intimidating. And people don't want to challenge them. And so I'm not afraid of anyone. And I think my father for that. But I, I, I see someone and I know I just have this intuition. It's a gift.
00:04:44:19 - 00:05:00:22
Andrew L. Anderson
I think I've been given I just, I see things in them that no one else maybe can see. And I just ask the questions that are direct enough that will help them open up and start to tell me some things that maybe they haven't been telling anyone. Powerful questions.
00:05:00:22 - 00:05:15:15
Mike O'Neill
That's where it starts. I know in my role as a coach how powerful questions can make a huge difference. Can I go back to something you just said and this as you said, you you can attribute this to your father. In what way?
00:05:15:17 - 00:05:35:11
Andrew L. Anderson
Oh, man. I have written a book that has become an international bestseller, and I have about 14 other books that I desire to write, and I felt really strongly a few months back that before you write any of those other books under, you need to start writing your father's biography. And I have a remarkable mother and father and someone will write my mother someday.
00:05:35:11 - 00:06:00:18
Andrew L. Anderson
But I just feel called to write my father's. He is, as OG Medina says, the greatest salesman in the world. And I literally believe that book was written about my father. Because sales is about loving and influencing people. And I've watched my father in his entire career. He's now 76 years old, 75, 76 years old. I, I watched him forever just love and influence people in sales.
00:06:00:20 - 00:06:19:09
Andrew L. Anderson
And now he continues to do it with everyone that he's around. And when you love and have a desire to influence and serve people, there's no room for fear. And so when you see something, you just you go for it and you do it. And I've watched my dad do that his whole life, and I'm learning how to do that as well.
00:06:19:11 - 00:06:35:00
Mike O'Neill
You said that you're learning how to do that. Is that willingness to speak into power? Is that something that comes natural, or did you have to develop that ability to say and ask questions that no one else dares?
00:06:35:02 - 00:06:59:03
Andrew L. Anderson
I'm so grateful that you ask that, because people often say to me, you're a natural born speaker. You're natural born coach. You're like, you've been like this. Like, I can just tell it's in you. And if you read my book, you'll hear this story of me at Centennial High School, 14 years old, a freshman, and scared of everybody, not able to stand up for my beliefs.
00:06:59:03 - 00:07:26:09
Andrew L. Anderson
Feeling alone. A true introvert without friends walking around the halls by myself. And the lowest of lows that I share in my book is standing in the stall of a bathroom on the toilet seat, so that no one will be able to identify whose shoes are in this bathroom. Sobbing by myself. So depressed, 1999. No one to talk to.
00:07:26:11 - 00:07:46:09
Andrew L. Anderson
Now we're not talking about these things at that time. There's not, you know, depression and anxiety. Like that's just not a thing that just I was hurting so bad. And when I tell that story, people are shocked because they probably assume that I was just the one that had all the friends and did all the things and had the girlfriends or whatever.
00:07:46:11 - 00:08:00:17
Andrew L. Anderson
And yet I was very insecure as a 14, 15 year old teenage boy. And I had to learn, and I'm still learning how to step into what I believe are my unique abilities to serve.
00:08:00:19 - 00:08:34:13
Mike O'Neill
We're continue on this theme of serving, and in doing so, it would sound to me, you're serving your clients because you're willing to speak to things that they may not have even thought about before. Yeah. Help them understand that. Let's start with your clients. You choose to work with high achieving leaders. Good. Is it about high achieving leaders that makes them an ideal client for you?
00:08:34:15 - 00:09:00:05
Andrew L. Anderson
Well, I just love their tenacity. I love their intelligence. I love their commitment. They have strong values. They've gotten to a point in life where they have taken everything they've been given and created an organization or a business or and they've created things that are building our communities. They're impacting our world, and they are really, really good at it.
00:09:00:07 - 00:09:20:22
Andrew L. Anderson
And I love coaching these kinds of people, because if we can't figure out how to help them truly find fulfillment and get out of this place of unconscious incompetence, mean they don't know what they don't know, but all they know is they're stuck. They don't know why. When we can help them get out of that, the trickle down effect within their businesses and their organizations and their families is huge.
00:09:20:24 - 00:09:29:15
Andrew L. Anderson
Because when they figure this out by nature, everything and everyone else will follow them as well.
00:09:29:17 - 00:09:38:16
Mike O'Neill
You are open with the question as to what might be the obstacle. Why have you found it? They oftentimes can't figure it out on their own.
00:09:38:18 - 00:10:04:09
Andrew L. Anderson
And because they're used to figuring everything else out on their own. They're used to just like having the answers and from a perspective of like, eternity, like, I think God just gives us all something that makes us have to depend on others because we're not meant to be here on Earth as independent, solo achieving people. We are meant to rely upon one another.
00:10:04:15 - 00:10:34:21
Andrew L. Anderson
And so these people have such incredible strengths that they also there's things that we all have that once we admit that we need help. We then create dependency with someone else in these interdependent relationships where we now can grow together. And that's what we're meant to do as the human family. We're meant to go together, not alone. And so these these people, they they're imperfect like the rest of us, like we we all need help.
00:10:34:23 - 00:10:44:24
Andrew L. Anderson
And yet they've been so successful at not needing help and doing it on their own that this is the one thing that they got to figure out.
00:10:45:00 - 00:11:13:09
Mike O'Neill
You know, what's kind of crossed my mind and drew here is that we were describing, and this may very well be describing people who are watching or listening right now, and that is they have achieved phenomenal external achievements. But what I'm hearing you describe is that for them to really get this sense of fulfillment, if those are external achievements, they need to experience some inner transformation and exactly.
00:11:13:09 - 00:11:14:05
Andrew L. Anderson
What it is.
00:11:14:07 - 00:11:23:11
Mike O'Neill
Got you. So fulfillment. That's the word barriers to fulfillment. How do you define the term fulfillment?
00:11:23:13 - 00:11:46:08
Andrew L. Anderson
Well, I actually flip that around and I invite those that I work with to define that, because my idea of fulfillment is living my life mission in a way that I can stand before my maker and say that I gave everything he gave me to help me be this person, do the things that I felt called to do, and everybody has a different calling and they have different things to give.
00:11:46:10 - 00:12:07:23
Andrew L. Anderson
So I think of, you know, a life of fulfillment is one where we at our deathbed or before our maker judgment bar, whatever that might be, or even tomorrow morning when I wake up, I can say, yeah, yesterday I played all out like I gave what I could in a way that I have no regrets.
00:12:08:00 - 00:12:35:14
Mike O'Neill
I want to generalize here. We're talking about highly successful leaders who to the outside world have achieved everything right? But going back to your about section. But you're stuck and it's killing you. They may not even know that they're stuck. But what you said, I think, is fulfillment for you might be different than for them, but might fulfillment up to this point have been these external achievements.
00:12:35:19 - 00:12:38:03
Mike O'Neill
This they thought that was gonna be okay.
00:12:38:05 - 00:13:04:17
Andrew L. Anderson
And. Yeah. And and yet there's still there's still something missing. And so what we look at is, okay, you have a life from the outside looking in. That's remarkable. And yet it doesn't feel as good as it looks, does it? And you've always been able to go to money to solve problems within the business. You can hire or leverage anything out that will allow you to grow the business.
00:13:04:22 - 00:13:30:17
Andrew L. Anderson
And yet there are problems that you have that money can't solve. You can't throw money at a 16 year old child and have a relationship. You can't buy your way out of a lack of intimacy with your spouse, right? You can't even use money to take care of your neglect of your health. Like money can't sell you. You have to solve that.
00:13:30:19 - 00:13:55:04
Andrew L. Anderson
And if someone's in a place of a faith crisis, you can't buy your way out of that either. And so what we find is what does fulfillment look like? And all these areas of your life and where are you not experiencing that? And if there's one of these dominoes that we could knock over first, which one would you choose, knowing that if that were to be a ten out of ten, everything else would feel so much easier.
00:13:55:06 - 00:13:55:19
Andrew L. Anderson
That's where we.
00:13:55:19 - 00:14:04:24
Mike O'Neill
Start. Yeah. It sounds to me that you typically start with maybe the biggest domino.
00:14:05:01 - 00:14:25:06
Andrew L. Anderson
It might be the biggest, but I just ask that question. It may be the smallest like the Dave Ramsey. Right. You know, like the debt snowball. Like, what's the one that if we can have a win here, then it's going to have the ability to compound and grow and give you the confidence that you can have a win and all the other areas of your life as well.
00:14:26:05 - 00:14:41:21
Mike O'Neill
So it sounds to me you let the clients choose what that domino is that you recognized based on your experience, that the, the power of the domino is not the single domino, it's when it's lined up to next is what it could kind of set in motion.
00:14:41:23 - 00:15:08:10
Andrew L. Anderson
You got it. I want you to think of, like, the greatest coaches in the world of sports and they come with these athletes and they're just they they're full of potential and talent. And the coach can't run the plays that he was running with the previous all star or the previous line up. Right. He has to match the individual skills and abilities according to what that person desires most to become.
00:15:09:04 - 00:15:29:21
Andrew L. Anderson
If Aaron Rodgers wants to be a catcher, like that doesn't work because he plays center field and he hits home runs. And that's just that's not his thing. And so the greatest coaches see something in their players when they ask them, do you want to become what I see. And is that in alignment with your goals and desires as well?
00:15:30:00 - 00:15:44:07
Andrew L. Anderson
Because if not, then what I'm really doing is I'm serving my agenda as a coach and I'm trying to create a roster that makes me look good rather than my all star. And by the way, in the end, who gets paid more? The all star or the coach?
00:15:44:09 - 00:15:45:06
Mike O'Neill
All star does.
00:15:45:07 - 00:15:49:03
Andrew L. Anderson
That's right. And by the way, when team is losing, who gets fired first? The all star or the coach?
00:15:49:05 - 00:15:50:05
Mike O'Neill
Well said the coach.
00:15:50:08 - 00:16:09:22
Andrew L. Anderson
The coach. So I never want it to be about me. I want, I want it to be about them. And if I start coaching from a place of agenda, then I'm really just a consultant telling you what to do rather than a coach, which is asking you where you want to be, who you're going to take with you, why it's so important, and what the ramifications will be in the long run.
00:16:11:08 - 00:16:32:15
Mike O'Neill
You know, when I introduce who we're talking about limiting beliefs and how those can really hold back. Can you for those who are not familiar with the, the concept of limiting beliefs, what in your experience, are that give us some examples of what they are and how they are affecting or have affected your clients.
00:16:32:17 - 00:17:11:06
Andrew L. Anderson
Right. So let's take this one for example. We'll call them Dan. Dan is a seven plus figures CEO and he is loved and respected. He shows up in the workplace in a way that everybody just is endeared by him. And he's got a, he's got a relationship with his child at home who hates him. And he believes that he will never be as successful as a parent as he will be as a CEO.
00:17:11:08 - 00:17:34:12
Andrew L. Anderson
And so he just keeps doing what he's good at and finding fulfillment right within the workplace to compensate for what is missing at home. And that led me. Belief is I will never be as good of a father as I am an executive. So there's an example.
00:17:34:14 - 00:18:00:01
Mike O'Neill
So if you would let us see behind the curtain. Yeah. If Dan comes to that realization that that's something he wants to work on. He somehow has accepted that he would never be as good a father as he is as a CEO. How does one in your role help Dan address that?
00:18:00:03 - 00:18:48:17
Andrew L. Anderson
So what I do is I pull on that thread and that's that thread is it's the golden thread, and it has weaved itself through his entire life. And what we end up finding is that there were unconscious decisions that were made in his early developmental years about his ability to show up. And what we're going to find are some very impactful events in his childhood or young adulthood, where he felt things that created decisions and beliefs that began to program him, which meant I have to, achievement.
00:18:48:19 - 00:19:14:15
Andrew L. Anderson
I have to earn respect. I have to earn love. And by the way, if you're trying to earn and achieve your way to fulfillment in the home. Like it? It's never going to come. It is the least rewarding experience on a day to day basis. I mean, 90% of the time you feel like you're failing. Then every now and then there's glimpses of hope.
00:19:14:17 - 00:19:49:00
Andrew L. Anderson
Whereas in the workplace, you can be killing at 90% of the time and feeling like you want to throw in the towel 10% of the time, and that's amazing. It's the exact opposite. And so when we find these root cause events and decisions that he has made that created all these beliefs and emotions that are becoming self-fulfilling prophecies with him and his child, we just used some very simple neuroscience techniques that I'm certified in that I've been doing for, you know, years and years with hundreds of people and we create new beliefs.
00:19:49:00 - 00:20:07:06
Andrew L. Anderson
We let go of old neural pathways that no longer serve us, just like we can wipe a hard drive. God made our brains. What we say is neuroplasticity. Like there's neuroplasticity there. Every other organ of your body can be swapped out. You can get a prosthetic leg. You can't get a prosthetic brain or get a brain from someone else.
00:20:07:06 - 00:20:26:13
Andrew L. Anderson
So God made our brain such that we can change them. And that's what I do. We let go of all beliefs and decisions, so there's room to create new ones. So you can feel something you've never felt before and have a life that feels way better than it even looks from the outside looking in. That's what everybody wants.
00:20:26:13 - 00:20:33:20
Andrew L. Anderson
They want to feel that their life is as good or better than what everybody thinks it is.
00:20:33:22 - 00:20:53:21
Mike O'Neill
You know, Andrew, I ask guests to share an example where a client got stuck and you've anticipated that question in the example of, Dan. Yeah. Might another situation come to mind that might would illustrate how either you or clients got stuck and what did it take to get unstuck?
00:20:53:23 - 00:21:23:13
Andrew L. Anderson
Right. So let's talk about, let's talk about Stephanie. And Stephanie has succeeded for almost two decades in her career. She's nearing the end. And this is an interesting place to be. She has a father who is nearing the end, meaning he's in his 90s and he has dementia, and he has succeeded as a professor and has actually lived on campus from the time she was a little girl.
00:21:23:13 - 00:21:53:04
Andrew L. Anderson
Up until today, they still let him live on this campus of this well known university in this country. America. If anyone's listening outside of this country and she she can't come to grips with the fact that she's still not accepted by her father because she pursued this entrepreneurial route while he pursued the academic route and no amount of achievement or money.
00:21:53:06 - 00:22:14:18
Andrew L. Anderson
She could never prove to her father right that she was, that she was good enough. And she comes to me thinking that hopefully she'll be able to say something or do something to change this with him. And you already know, and I hope the listener does as well, that we can't do that. We can't help somebody change someone else's mind or how they feel about you.
00:22:14:20 - 00:22:46:22
Andrew L. Anderson
What we can do is we can get Stephanie into this place of peace, where she no longer feels like in order for her to be whole and to have fulfillment, that she is dependent upon her father's approval. And as soon as we gave that little girl permission to let go of her father's opinions, then she was able to travel back home and be with her dad and her mom and her siblings, who all now supposedly hate her.
00:22:46:24 - 00:23:11:15
Andrew L. Anderson
And it's okay. It doesn't bother her anymore, and she can allow them to be who they are and have their opinions and feel good about the life that she has lived up to this point, and not be at the you know, that that victim mentality of I have to be somebody different. And for her and that was far greater than anything she'd ever achieved.
00:23:11:15 - 00:23:15:11
Andrew L. Anderson
And the money that she had made with her business.
00:23:15:13 - 00:23:38:18
Mike O'Neill
And to use the term golden thread a few minutes ago and you've given us three examples, one of which being you, that goes back to childhood, right? About which when you begin to understand what could very well be and much of the proper term, the root of this, you can begin reprograming that kind of that thought process.
00:23:38:20 - 00:24:09:01
Mike O'Neill
Let's fast forward to working with clients who that they have identified that the dominoes are really falling into place. Yeah. As people begin to experience fulfillment and new ways, it would seem to be, it doesn't mean your job is done. It could be. Well, that it opens up new possibilities. Is that does that describe some of your experiences with clients?
00:24:09:03 - 00:24:32:12
Andrew L. Anderson
Absolutely. I want you to imagine that one of these clients is trying to climb a mountain. This is figurative, right? Not literal. And they come to me and they say, and I've tried to get up to the peak over and over and over again, and I need you to help me get there. And most clients come to a coach saying, I want to achieve something that I have been able to achieve helped me get there.
00:24:32:14 - 00:24:52:10
Andrew L. Anderson
And most coaches say, all right, let's go. Let's make sure you have the tools and resources and let's go. If they go to a therapist, the therapists are going to say, let's talk about why you're not there. And what I do is instead of talking about why they're not there or how to get there, we figure out, what is it that you really want.
00:24:52:12 - 00:25:22:20
Andrew L. Anderson
And what I find is most people don't actually want to climb that mountain and get to that peak. They're carrying something that is making them feel like they have to climb the mountain, get to that peak. Limiting beliefs, negative emotions, past traumas, anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, all this stuff. Not good enough, not lovable. And when I give them permission to let go of all that, sometimes they'll say to me, oh my gosh, I don't want to climb that peak.

I want to climb that one over there where, you know what? I want a free dive. I want to go the exact opposite direction. I just never knew I could because I was carrying all this baggage. And so most people are actually moving away from what they don't want, rather than moving toward what they do. And they don't know what they want because they're stuck in what they don't want.
00:25:39:17 - 00:26:02:00
Andrew L. Anderson
And when you give them permission, let go of what they don't want. Then we get to create something they've never had before. It's a beautiful process to have a clean slate, a brand new canvas, this fertile soil that's been weeded and ready to grow something new. So you're right. We end up creating something that they've never created before.
00:26:02:02 - 00:26:16:19
Mike O'Neill
You just use the term, you give them permission. And I may be stepping all over the practice here, but in doing so, it sounds to me that they in turn give themselves permission to be these things.
00:26:16:21 - 00:26:39:16
Andrew L. Anderson
They just sometimes have to let somebody else give themselves that permission to give themselves permission, which is what children need. And I know this. Some people might not like to hear this, but we're all just children. We're working around it. The brain has been programed 95 to 99% of who we are. Our personal realities, which is our personality.
00:26:39:16 - 00:27:02:05
Andrew L. Anderson
95 to 99% of that has been there since we were nine years old. And yet we're pretending like we're not. But we feel that way when we get in fights and arguments with those we love most. And so when we when we give that nine year old permission to and just learn and let go of the things that aren't serving you, then all of a sudden like nothing matters.
00:27:02:05 - 00:27:15:05
Andrew L. Anderson
And that like it used to be, we just, we can let go of things and we can start afresh and let everyone else be a nine year old and not have to fight battles that aren't worth fighting.
00:27:15:07 - 00:27:41:00
Mike O'Neill
I know that the time that we dedicate to a podcast episode, it's totally arbitrary. The average podcast length is about half an hour, and what I would want to make sure we do is, before we wrap up, as you kind of reflect on this conversation thus far, one, is there anything you want to share that we have not discussed?
00:27:41:02 - 00:27:45:01
Andrew L. Anderson
Yes.
00:27:45:03 - 00:28:17:03
Andrew L. Anderson
If something if something that Mike or I said today struck a chord with you and you know that there's more listening isn't enough. I invite you to take action. Not tomorrow, not next year. I want you to take action right now. And whether it's Mike or me or anyone else in your life, I invite you to take action and reach out to someone right now and say, hey, I felt this thing.
00:28:17:03 - 00:28:50:22
Andrew L. Anderson
I listened to this podcast. I believe that things can be different and just reach out and let that person hold that space with you. And if you need massive transformation, I can do that. And if you need a little bit of transformation, I can do that too. But let somebody help you reach out. Don't wait. If you know that there's more and you're feeling like you can do something and you must do something about it, reach out to someone right now.
00:28:50:24 - 00:29:20:22
Mike O'Neill
Andrew, this has been a powerful conversation. As we start to close out this segment, I do have a question for the leaders who are in fact, listening in. And that is, why do people choose to follow your lead? Is it out of obligation or do they truly believe in their vision? Leadership is about clarity, confidence, and creating practical solutions that drive real results.
00:29:20:24 - 00:29:47:04
Mike O'Neill
So I'm going to echo what Andrew just said. And that is I invite our listeners to reflect on how you can lead with purpose, inspiring those who you lead through shared values and a sense of meaningful mission. You know, Andrew, thank you so much for your insights today. If listeners want to connect with you, what's the best way for them to reach out?
