Andy Gutierrez drops wisdom bombs about personal accountability and growth in this transformative episode. A business owner, pastor, and ultra-marathon runner (yes, he's completed 100-mile races!), Andy shares his powerful life philosophy: "Don't complain about something you aren't willing to fix."
Throughout our conversation, Andy unpacks how this principle applies to every area of life. From fitness goals to marriage relationships, career advancement to mental health—countless people remain stuck in cycles of complaint without taking meaningful action. Andy vulnerably shares his own journey through procrastination and fear, revealing how he finally broke through self-imposed limitations by asking "Why not me?" instead of "I can't."
The discussion takes a particularly poignant turn when addressing marriage. Andy's refreshingly blunt advice about prioritizing your spouse ("forget them kids!") comes from hard-earned wisdom after 17 years of marriage. With divorce rates approaching 60%—with most happening after children leave home—his insights on maintaining connection through intentional dating are both practical and urgent.
Time management emerges as another crucial theme. Andy challenges the common "I don't have time" excuse, noting how we effortlessly make time for what we truly value. His practice of conducting monthly "time audits" offers a practical way to ensure our schedules align with our stated priorities.
Whether you're struggling with procrastination, feeling stuck in a relationship rut, or simply wanting more from life, Andy's straightforward advice will inspire you to stop making excuses and start taking action. Life is too short to wait—someone is always watching, and your time to start is now.
