Kurt Andre shares his journey through a 45-year friendship with the host, discussing authentic relationships, professional transitions, and personal redemption after crisis.
• Kurt grew up on four continents in a military family, moving constantly until college
• Authentic friendship means having someone who knows your story and loves you anyway
• Your "why" comes out of your "who" – discover passion by noticing what you're good at
• Small experimental steps help minimize risk when transitioning careers
• At 39, Kurt's carefully managed life crashed when his incongruent living was exposed
• He lost his job, family, and ended up sleeping in his car in Boston during winter
• A group of men committed to meeting with him weekly for two years during recovery
• Childhood coping mechanisms often become adult defense mechanisms that sabotage relationships
• True healing requires self-reflection and creating safe spaces for vulnerability
• Kurt's relational constellation includes "water in" (mentors), "water with" (peers), and "water out" (serving)
