75. Andrew Cominos - Once Polyamorous, Now Just Adventurous

A Journey with Bernie

Read these six statements. Pause after each one. Consider them. Then move onto the next.

1. You can make all the money in the world, but be the least successful person who ever lived.
2. If you can't keep your word to yourself it simply shows how little regard you have for yourself.
3. Failure is not some out-of-the-blue, colossal sudden event. It usually arises from not doing all of the little things over a long period of time.
4. Love is so wild, it is so free, so infinite in itself, it cannot be defined.
5. Your discipline reflects the love you have for you.
6. When was the last time you stepped into the unknown?

Rarely has an episode discussed so many topics in such a hard-edged punchy way. In less than an hour, you will be teased and prodded as to why an Adventurous Lifestyle is somewhat mandatory if you seek to maximise your life. Coupled with Adventure comes the Fun of Playing, another concept that has gone missing in western lifestyles. Our guest, Andrew Cominos will even share with you the pros and cons of a different adventure: Polyamory, the practice of having multiple intimate relationships with the consent of all parties involved. Andrew tells it as it is, because he has been there! The discussion from the 28:52 mark of this episode is riveting. Bravely, Andrew goes into great depth as to how polyamory can work for some and why for most, it cannot. It is a discussion that will challenge many, be convenient for some and will intrigue most.

At age 35 Andrew Cominos has already had a tumultuous life, but he has used the lessons of it wisely. His journey has culminated in a rare business creation called Project Remarkable. It is rare because there is no doubt that everything Andrew does in this business is a full extension of his values. You get the feeling that the activities of his business are what he would do anyway, irrespective of the dollars it generates - a bit like this podcast. Like Andrew, we find it hard to call this work!

Consequently, you will meet a truly unique sales coach, who believes that business performance has little to do with special skills or techniques but everything to do with the synergy between personal fulfillment and your love for what you do, under the banner of work. So, to help people rediscover or find that fulfilment, this sales coach takes his clients into the world of the wild, into extraordinary adventures that allow them to play, feel joy, and reconnect with their true selves, enabling them to talk about a business that truly reflects that real self. Such business is rarely a strain. When it is congruent with the real you, it is a joy. Stress then is not part of the equation.

Perhaps the quote that Andrew delivers in this podcast about the 'purpose of life' best summarises what awaits you: enjoy and maximise the passage of time.

If you feel you are not doing this, then stick in the earpieces and dive into this episode.
