Hello and welcome to Keep Hope Alive podcast.
00:00:05.889 --> 00:00:23.027
Today I have Andrea with us, and he is an author, an app creator and CEO and, might I say, a dating coach and, with that being said, he gets to learn all about him and what he does in the world of dating.
00:00:23.027 --> 00:00:25.873
We all need this subject.
00:00:25.873 --> 00:00:28.984
Right and welcome, I'm so glad to have you on.
00:00:28.984 --> 00:00:37.731
Before we do get started, I have a question for you how many weddings have you been to in the past year?
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.985
Hi, nadine, nadine, sorry, should I say that, nadine?
00:00:42.985 --> 00:00:51.389
Yes, last year two weddings One was a client who finally got married and the other one was a relative.
00:00:51.389 --> 00:00:52.411
So yeah, it was great.
00:00:53.201 --> 00:00:54.204
That is so cool.
00:00:54.204 --> 00:00:59.116
So one of our biggest sponsors here is Life on Record.
00:00:59.116 --> 00:01:10.394
And before I go into what they do, let's pretend we got invited to go to a wedding and we're going into the ceremony site and over to the right there's something there to sign.
00:01:10.394 --> 00:01:12.040
What are we signing?
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.804
To let that couple know we were here.
00:01:14.927 --> 00:01:21.572
We're signing the welcome book, definitely we're giving them all our best wishes, and well, whatever you want to give them really.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.165
Yes, that's awesome.
00:01:24.165 --> 00:01:34.787
Well, instead of that book, life on Record came out and brought a vintage rotary phone that you can now pick up and leave those messages instead of the writing in the book.
00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:36.947
So I'm right next to it.
00:01:36.947 --> 00:01:46.549
They have a QR code that your guests can scan, also if they didn't want to use the phone, and they can leave their messages either before or after, even during the event.
00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:48.867
So it is awesome.
00:01:48.867 --> 00:01:54.673
You can leave messages like up to one to three minutes, five minutes, 30 minutes if you wanted to.
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.930
But I suggest for weddings, do not stay on that phone for 30 minutes.
00:01:57.930 --> 00:01:59.667
You're going to have a line and everything.
00:01:59.667 --> 00:02:05.194
So they collect all the messages that are congratulations.
00:02:05.194 --> 00:02:15.272
It's about time you put a ring on that finger, whatever it may be, and they will burn it either on a 12-inch vinyl record or a keepsake speaker box.
00:02:15.272 --> 00:02:20.651
Now you get the phone number for one year.
00:02:20.651 --> 00:02:29.207
You got to return the phone, but this way, if it was a wedding, you could call right before their one-year anniversary and leave messages again.
00:02:29.207 --> 00:02:31.781
But this goes for any kind of event.
00:02:31.781 --> 00:02:34.306
Their plans start at $99.
00:02:34.306 --> 00:02:40.324

00:02:40.324 --> 00:02:44.090
All right, so let's get started.
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:46.212
Who is andrea at?
00:02:47.313 --> 00:02:56.330
one point as a former dj and working with vinyl, I can vouch for that has great gift to get your voice messages on vinyl.
00:02:56.330 --> 00:02:58.543
It's come back now, so it's a great.
00:02:58.543 --> 00:03:00.225
Uh, yeah, I, I'd love that.
00:03:00.507 --> 00:03:13.574
Thank you, I'm gonna try that myself, although I'm already married, like one of the first companies that started that too, and I I saw pictures I'll post on my facebook page for keep up alive.
00:03:13.574 --> 00:03:24.710
The pictures of the phones are just so nice and they're very elegant and I was like, oh, I just wish I had one here for the show that I could pick up to do the commercial all the time.
00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:31.024
So, it would be easier, wouldn't it?
00:03:31.024 --> 00:03:31.344
Yes, okay.
00:03:31.724 --> 00:03:32.606
Yeah, who am I?
00:03:32.606 --> 00:03:33.747
I know you're waiting.
00:03:33.747 --> 00:03:34.949
Who am I?
00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:48.223
I'm Andrea and I call myself a dating coach, but, as you rightly said, things have moved forward a little bit now.
00:03:48.223 --> 00:03:54.580
I've been dating coaching for around 15 years, um, researching and testing my theory of compatibility, which is now is now available as an app.
00:03:54.580 --> 00:04:08.641
Um, it's not on the google or app stores yet, or the apple store yet, um, but it is available on a web browser so you can get a link and you can get the app on a discounted rate.
00:04:08.641 --> 00:04:13.573
For the moment I'm advertising, but I shouldn't be, but anyway, you can get it.
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:14.602
You're supposed to.
00:04:15.362 --> 00:04:20.293
Yeah, okay, so you can get it now and take advantage of this offer.
00:04:20.293 --> 00:04:21.543
We call it a Valentine's launch.
00:04:21.543 --> 00:04:28.464
We technically launched a soft launch on valentine's day, um, and so the the app is evolving.
00:04:28.464 --> 00:04:36.389
Um, it's pretty much done in content, uh, but we're adding or I'm adding stuff like blogs and and help tips.
00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:41.944
There's a community on the app, um, and there's one vital question that you ask people when you're dating.
00:04:41.963 --> 00:05:09.302
So, whether, whether you're, if you're on a dating site or if you're in a bar, and someone comes over to you and they start talking to you, you just ask them this one question, and this one question will reveal enough for you to decide whether you want to carry on the conversation or you want to kind of politely say look, you know nice talking to you, but even though I fancy you, now the reality is, who you fancy is very subjective.
00:05:09.302 --> 00:05:14.533
But your foundation in relationship, your compatibility, other.
00:05:14.533 --> 00:05:17.185
You know values, morals, ethics.
00:05:17.185 --> 00:05:19.250
There's lots of things people think about.
00:05:19.250 --> 00:05:27.781
You know the height of the guy, how you know how rich they are, whether the girl's blonde or brunette or green eyes or blue eyes we've all got preferences.
00:05:27.781 --> 00:05:41.274
But the fundamental compatibility is your foundation, and your foundation for me is a little bit more deep than just the superficial swipe, swipe, look, look.
00:05:41.274 --> 00:05:43.387
It's a question and you need to.
00:05:43.387 --> 00:05:46.966
You know, I need to ask you the question and then you'll understand what I'm talking about.
00:05:49.201 --> 00:05:50.786
Well then, ask the question.
00:05:50.786 --> 00:05:53.065
I would love to hear what that question is.
00:05:53.708 --> 00:05:57.706
Okay, well, all right, if you're ready, there's a clue behind you Circus.
00:05:58.509 --> 00:05:59.612
Circus Okay.
00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:07.480
Or behind me, shall I say there's a clue behind me, anyway, nad.
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.363
Or behind me, shall I say there's a clue behind me, anyway, nadine.
00:06:09.363 --> 00:06:10.024
Take a deep breath for me.
00:06:10.045 --> 00:06:10.365
Clear your mind.
00:06:10.365 --> 00:06:13.009
I don't mind, let's go for it close your eyes.
00:06:14.031 --> 00:06:14.593
I'll do it with you.
00:06:14.593 --> 00:06:16.963
Close your eyes, deep breath.
00:06:16.963 --> 00:06:19.632
All your viewers can do this with us.
00:06:19.632 --> 00:06:26.704
Nadine, imagine you're at a circus.
00:06:26.704 --> 00:06:42.980
Imagine the lights, the sounds, the smells, the fun, the laughter, the thrills and the suspense.
00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:51.637
Now imagine for a moment that you are one of the acts or performers.
00:06:55.464 --> 00:07:01.108
Which act or performer would you be, and why Can I open my eyes?
00:07:01.108 --> 00:07:02.451
Yet Can I open my eyes?
00:07:02.471 --> 00:07:03.634
Yeah you can Okay.
00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:10.184
I don't know why I see myself swinging.
00:07:10.365 --> 00:07:14.872
I don't know okay, okay, maybe swinging on a trapeze.
00:07:14.872 --> 00:07:16.360
What did you see?
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:17.182
Anyone else with you?
00:07:17.182 --> 00:07:18.024
Were you on your own?
00:07:18.024 --> 00:07:18.805
Were you up high?
00:07:18.805 --> 00:07:18.846
I?
00:07:19.988 --> 00:07:28.545
was up high and it was just me, and I feel like my legs were wrapped around the bar and I was hanging down for some reason yeah, that's correct.
00:07:28.586 --> 00:07:31.091
Okay, so you identify with a solo trapeze.
00:07:31.091 --> 00:07:34.685
Trapeze is the bar, so it's not the silks.
00:07:34.685 --> 00:07:40.923
Yeah, it's not aerial gymnastics trapeze and you're up there high, um, do you know why?
00:07:40.923 --> 00:07:42.425
The why part is quite important.
00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:56.970
Maybe I wanted to get away from everything on the ground, that I just wanted to be solo and free spirit, basically, and do my routine up there and get it over with.
00:07:56.970 --> 00:07:57.310
Maybe.
00:07:58.574 --> 00:08:00.660
Okay, that makes sense.
00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:18.005
The being free and up there and safe and all the words that come along with that are similar to how a bird feels up in a tree, um, and what it identifies is that you're quite independent, you like your freedom, you're quite self-sufficient.
00:08:18.005 --> 00:08:26.896
These, by the way, the circus question, is an analogy of the circus role in the act to real life.
00:08:28.341 --> 00:08:42.405
OK so it establishes your role in a circus, but it identifies your ideal role, your role and your partner's role in a circus, but in real life, ok.
00:08:42.405 --> 00:08:44.152
So I'll give the.
00:08:44.152 --> 00:08:47.782
The clearest analogy would be the lion tamer and the lion.
00:08:47.782 --> 00:08:53.832
They only function as a great, balanced act if they're together.
00:08:53.832 --> 00:09:00.068
The lion tamer doesn't work with a clown, the lion work with you know, still walker.
00:09:00.068 --> 00:09:15.821
So you identify your role and your role identifies your real life compatibility and it works from an unconscious selection process okay okay, so I I'm explaining the question.
00:09:16.101 --> 00:09:36.850
The first part of the question is um, it's a location and, uh, I don't know if you work with nlp, but with NLP, with suggestion, the first part is suggesting where you are and then the second part is the unconscious selection, by prompting you to imagine your role.
00:09:37.731 --> 00:09:38.033
Okay.
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:44.110
So, unconsciously, you've told me something and I can now put that to good use, especially if we're dating.
00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:48.125
Ie, you're dating and you're applying that to potential partners.
00:09:48.125 --> 00:09:56.111
Now you're going to say how the point is by identifying your actual role, which is trapeze solo.
00:09:56.111 --> 00:10:10.943
There are various traits character traits that belong to you, Abilities, traits that are positive in a in a balanced relationship and negative in an imbalanced or toxic relationship.
00:10:12.347 --> 00:10:33.682
And my app, which I I kind of refer to because I said I've told you before there are 50 plus acts in a circus and I can't remember half of them, let alone all of them, and I have to just take although I can give you some basics like the main three, because you know you are independent, you are really independent In a relationship.
00:10:33.682 --> 00:10:38.245
If you're not independent, it stifles you, you get resentful and you have to get away.
00:10:38.245 --> 00:10:41.133
Correct, Yep, Okay.
00:10:41.133 --> 00:10:44.202
So if you were with a lion tamer, I'll use the analogy.
00:10:44.202 --> 00:10:45.865
If you were with a lion tamer, I'll use the analogy.
00:10:45.865 --> 00:10:54.414
If you were the lion tamer who profusely expects their partner, the lion, to do as they're told, that's their perfect, balanced relationship.
00:10:55.255 --> 00:10:55.456
Yeah.
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.004
Kind of and I'll be gender positive here in respect of the male is the lion tamer, the female is the lion.
00:11:03.004 --> 00:11:06.181
Okay, it can be gender reversed and it can be same sex.
00:11:06.181 --> 00:11:09.029
Okay, so it can be two women, doesn't?
00:11:09.029 --> 00:11:09.532
It doesn't matter.
00:11:09.532 --> 00:11:13.143
The the dynamics is what is important, not the gender.
00:11:13.143 --> 00:11:15.528
I do work with trans.
00:11:15.528 --> 00:11:24.793
I do work with gay and lesbian clients, so they're fascinated how it works and in fact it's not gender relative, so that's good anyway.
00:11:24.793 --> 00:11:30.405
So, talking to you now, I would say you must avoid lion tamers and you must avoid lions.
00:11:30.405 --> 00:11:35.020
Lion tamers would stifle you and want to control you.
00:11:35.020 --> 00:11:36.023
They're up here.
00:11:36.023 --> 00:11:41.121
Lions wouldn't give you enough because they'd be waiting for your direction.
00:11:41.121 --> 00:11:44.712
So a lion needs direction from the lion tamer.
00:11:44.712 --> 00:11:47.481
I'm putting the lion up there and the lion down here.
00:11:47.481 --> 00:11:49.206
Okay, there's a reason for that.
00:11:49.206 --> 00:11:50.731
You're in the middle.
00:11:50.731 --> 00:11:59.407
You need a relationship where you can share the responsibility, share the dynamic, share the independence.
00:11:59.407 --> 00:12:07.296
So your partner needs to appreciate your independence yes they also need to let you shine.
00:12:08.923 --> 00:12:10.585
Yes, they also don't.
00:12:10.585 --> 00:12:12.207
They mustn't be jealous.
00:12:12.207 --> 00:12:16.234
Yes, they mustn't be.
00:12:16.234 --> 00:12:18.022
Um, not so word for it.
00:12:18.022 --> 00:12:18.442
Um, a lion tamers.
00:12:18.442 --> 00:12:19.565
Look, this is how it works with lion tamers.
00:12:19.565 --> 00:12:21.067
If they get a partner who's a lion, we're using the analogy now.
00:12:21.067 --> 00:12:22.049
Yeah, they get a partner who's a lion tamers.
00:12:22.049 --> 00:12:23.913
Look, this is how it works with lion tamers.
00:12:23.913 --> 00:12:27.144
If they get a partner who's a lion, we're using the analogy now.
00:12:27.144 --> 00:12:28.768
Yeah, they get a partner who's a lion.
00:12:28.768 --> 00:12:33.647
The lion does as they're told because they want direction, not because they've been abused.
00:12:33.647 --> 00:12:40.527
So my analogy doesn't work that a lion tamer is cracking the whip at the lion and the lion's been abused.
00:12:40.527 --> 00:12:44.192
Abuse is a no-no, that's toxic in itself.
00:12:44.714 --> 00:12:55.582
But in a correct dynamic where a person wants leadership from their partner, they want that partner to decide where they're going to take them when they go out.
00:12:55.582 --> 00:13:06.326
They want that partner to make the decision about what they're going to eat tomorrow night, because they you know, or what film to go and watch in the movies, or you know.
00:13:06.326 --> 00:13:09.090
All these things are small things.
00:13:09.090 --> 00:13:16.937
But clients have always said to me I just wish he would take control, I just wish he would make a decision for me.
00:13:16.937 --> 00:13:21.950
I don't want to make decisions in my life.
00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:30.229
And that's the lion where they specifically want the partner to take control, and that could be a male, we use that terminology.
00:13:30.229 --> 00:13:33.496
A bottom yeah, want their top to take control.
00:13:33.496 --> 00:13:35.221
That could be in the bedroom, okay.
00:13:35.482 --> 00:13:42.384
So you could apply this in many, in many guises, and we're also applying these, this formula or this framework, to businesses.
00:13:42.384 --> 00:13:59.475
Now there's a couple, couple of HR people in a company that they're employing this with interview technique, so they use my question to identify management and other roles that people are applying for Gotcha, you know if they're able to control these roles, because it takes something.
00:13:59.475 --> 00:14:04.705
If you're a lion tamer, you have charisma, you have confidence, you have style, you have communication skills.
00:14:04.705 --> 00:14:05.107
You have everything.
00:14:05.107 --> 00:14:07.139
A lion tamer will have charisma, you have confidence, you have style, you have communication skills.
00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:08.883
You have everything the lion will do.
00:14:08.883 --> 00:14:14.480
Yeah, I've never seen a lion tamer walk into the ring and sheepishly turn to the audience and go.
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.543
I'm a bit scared.
00:14:15.543 --> 00:14:17.926
They control the floor.
00:14:18.626 --> 00:14:31.143
Yeah, yes yes but put a lion tamer with you and his insecurity will come out, his jealousy will come out, toxicity 100%.
00:14:31.143 --> 00:14:34.605
And you've probably, like a lot of my clients, had that relationship before.
00:14:35.501 --> 00:14:42.390
Oh yeah, several times and toxic, and it's only that because it's toxic for you and it's toxic for them.
00:14:42.390 --> 00:14:48.226
Unfortunately, you can't control men or women that are abusive and are narcissists.
00:14:48.226 --> 00:14:59.952
By the way, the lion tamer is probably the biggest narcissist of the circus, so identify narcissists at the get-go, okay.
00:14:59.952 --> 00:15:07.760
So if you're on a dating site and you know what you are, you're a trapeze solo and you know.
00:15:07.760 --> 00:15:12.373
On my app it actually is quite easy to use.
00:15:12.373 --> 00:15:21.570
Once you know your answer, you go into the app and when you get into the app, if I can find it, it will show you.
00:15:21.570 --> 00:15:27.130
I think I've sent it to you, but basically you're able to put in your choice.
00:15:27.130 --> 00:15:47.336
See, that's the logo, the circus question, okay, and you're able to then go tap into a form which is like a… said.
00:15:47.336 --> 00:15:54.226
You find your trapeze solo, which is there.
00:15:54.246 --> 00:16:02.546
We go submit and trapeze solo comes up qualities, traits, character qualities I don't know if you can see that and it lists everything.
00:16:02.546 --> 00:16:04.431
Now that's in a balance relationship.
00:16:04.431 --> 00:16:10.076
Underneath that you've got negative traits and character qualities in a negative relationship.
00:16:10.076 --> 00:16:17.370
So that shows you your negative traits that become amplified when you're in the wrong dynamic.
00:16:17.370 --> 00:16:19.407
So that's what we need to avoid.
00:16:19.407 --> 00:16:27.028
But what I'm demonstrating in the app is showing you that one question can unlock all that about you.
00:16:27.028 --> 00:16:29.365
No, data protection.
00:16:29.365 --> 00:16:40.912
I've got a secret into unlocking your compatibility, because what I'm able to do is learn about myself.
00:16:41.712 --> 00:16:42.573
So I'm a ringmaster.
00:16:42.573 --> 00:16:44.176
Okay, you were curious.
00:16:44.176 --> 00:16:45.745
Yeah, I'm a ringmaster.
00:16:45.745 --> 00:16:46.751
Okay, I, you were curious.
00:16:46.751 --> 00:16:56.013
Yeah, I'm a ringmaster, and my traits are communication, diplomacy, encouraging acts, my partner, people around me.
00:16:56.013 --> 00:16:58.361
I'm a coach to be the best they can be.
00:16:58.361 --> 00:17:00.888
Yeah, those are my major traits.
00:17:00.888 --> 00:17:02.471
There's always three or four major traits.
00:17:02.471 --> 00:17:08.393
Like I said about the lion tamer being charismatic, you know, a good communicator, diplomat, that's what?
00:17:08.393 --> 00:17:11.200
Um, they're quite narcissistic.
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.645
That they love their self-image, that's a hundred percent.
00:17:13.645 --> 00:17:21.259
You very rarely see a fat lion tamer and I know circuses aren't as popular now, but they still are around, especially in the movies.
00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:25.491
So, um, you very rarely see a fat, out out-of-shape lion tamer.
00:17:25.491 --> 00:17:29.409
They're usually a strapping fine example of a man or a woman.
00:17:29.409 --> 00:17:30.652
Okay, yeah.
00:17:30.652 --> 00:17:38.268
So you see that in the app and then you read love language and yours is quality time.
00:17:39.381 --> 00:17:40.645
Oh yeah, definitely is.
00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:42.202
Of the five.
00:17:42.202 --> 00:17:45.372
The primary love language that you possess is quality time.
00:17:45.372 --> 00:17:51.846
I didn't have to go through Gary Chapman's test there, I just found that from my analogy.
00:17:51.846 --> 00:17:56.789
Okay, and also your attachment style is secure okay.
00:17:56.789 --> 00:17:57.813
Have you done that?
00:17:57.813 --> 00:17:59.025
Have you done the attachment styles?
00:18:00.040 --> 00:18:01.266
No, I haven't done that yet.
00:18:01.887 --> 00:18:05.230
Okay, so your attachment style and you'll be able to check this out actually.
00:18:05.230 --> 00:18:13.743
So your attachment style is secure, but in a yes, in a dysfunctional relationship, in other words, an imbalanced relationship.
00:18:13.743 --> 00:18:14.707
That doesn't work for you.
00:18:14.707 --> 00:18:15.789
It's avoidant.
00:18:15.789 --> 00:18:19.508
So when it's not working out, you want to run away.
00:18:19.508 --> 00:18:22.365
Yes, you're not committing, correct?
00:18:23.249 --> 00:18:23.449
Yes.
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.337
So I was able to tell you all of that and you haven't read the app, because when you read it you'll probably agree more and I'm confident.
00:18:31.337 --> 00:18:32.721
That's why I give a money back guarantee.
00:18:32.721 --> 00:18:41.388
I give a seven day money back guarantee of a 750 app, one-time access, as in for life.
00:18:41.388 --> 00:18:52.525
So if I can show you that, then you take this app and you go okay, I'm on whichever let's call the dating sites.
00:18:52.525 --> 00:18:54.750
Okay, you go on the dating sites.
00:18:54.750 --> 00:18:57.082
You're scrolling through someone's match with you.
00:18:57.082 --> 00:18:58.305
You think, whoa, he's nice.
00:18:58.305 --> 00:19:00.409
Let me ask him a question.
00:19:00.409 --> 00:19:02.933
My opener Hi.
00:19:02.933 --> 00:19:05.028
I'm really curious to know your answer.
00:19:05.028 --> 00:19:12.169
You'll know your answer to this interesting question I heard the other day that's not an interview.
00:19:12.169 --> 00:19:15.701
Yeah, imagine you're at a circus script.
00:19:15.701 --> 00:19:17.846
It exactly as it is on the app.
00:19:17.846 --> 00:19:20.932
As I asked you, you'll get a reply.
00:19:20.932 --> 00:19:28.529
From that reply you can go into the a to Z on the app, type in or just tap in what they've answered.
00:19:28.529 --> 00:19:37.269
Then you can actually analyze them and see if you are a match or not.
00:19:37.269 --> 00:19:38.972
Do you get me?
00:19:39.933 --> 00:19:41.355
Yes, I do, I do.
00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:50.771
But there's something else on the app that actually makes it much easier and that's the compatibility system of Circology.
00:19:50.771 --> 00:19:57.728
I've named the system Circology, circus, circology, to identify your match in a numerical sense.
00:19:57.728 --> 00:20:06.669
Okay, people, when I coach people, it was easy for them to come back to me as emails or in sessions and say look, I've met a clown.
00:20:06.669 --> 00:20:07.431
What does that mean?
00:20:07.431 --> 00:20:09.153
I say a clown?
00:20:09.153 --> 00:20:11.226
Oh gosh, well, that means blah, blah, blah.
00:20:11.226 --> 00:20:45.315
So you kind of need me, but with the app, all you need is access a little bit further on, because the first part of the app is free if you want to, but the second part, which is the compatibility part, the psychology part, which is the compatibility part, the psychology part is where it becomes numerical and the numerical part is identifying that yours is, your act is a number four, a lion tamer is a nine a lion is a one, so they're the extreme ends of the polarity spectrum that I've identified.
00:20:45.375 --> 00:20:46.736
Yes, yeah.
00:20:47.580 --> 00:20:52.792
So, polarity being the compatibility spectrum.
