[restrict paid=”true”]

02:00 – Andrea Lowell

I am so ready and I love the fact that it's I am CEO because I am like my everything. So I'm so excited to be here.

02:09 – Gresham Harkless

I'm excited to be here too. I'm so excited that obviously, I could tell that by your organization, although all the things you're doing, I am with some of the most powerful words you can say because everything that follows after that is often what you are. So love it, love it, love it. So I guess to kick everything off, I know I touched on a little Bit. But I wanted to rewind the clock here a little bit more on how you started what I call your CEO story.

02:30 – Andrea Lowell

Right on. So, yeah, as you mentioned, I started out in entertainment and on paper, I had it all, Gresham. I had the car, the house, the everything. But I was miserable. It took me realizing that I was out of alignment and I was putting my talents and my interests and my passions into the wrong arena, into this, vapid Hollywood industry where really my soul was like, you're here to serve. You're here to help other people.

So of course I was miserable. I was not following my true path. I've been involved in the wellness industry for years and certified nutritionist and personal trainer. One of my clients was like you give me more like self-help training and more self-mastery and wisdom of the ages and, all these things that take her to further levels with her business and self-improvement than anything to do with wellness. She's like, yeah, I've lost a few pounds, but like, I really am here for like the free therapy. She goes, why don't you put this into a program? Why don't you parlay this into another facet of your business?

As soon as she said that, it resonated with my soul like nothing I'd ever heard from anyone before. It was like a resounding yes and I said what? You just gave me the best advice ever. I'm going to follow up on that. I'm going to follow through. It took me about three months of dedicated hard work,  rising to retire in the day of just full at the computer, building, building, building, creating, doing videos, and doing this to create the I Am Everything project. Instead of it becoming a facet of what I do, it's now become my full-on passion and purpose and the client who suggested it to me is still a client.

I am over the moon with how my story has developed and how I'm able to listen to the signs and take that guidance and really know what feels right and what I should lean into because I am so happy. Especially when I think of that contrast of where I was in Hollywood and how miserable I was and how just like, oh, overjoyed I am today. It's. There's nothing better.

04:52 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. I love you talking about that story and hearing the progression and everything that you're doing. You've been able to do. Now obviously you can hear all the passion that you have and I'm a big, huge. I call them, binaries. In order to sometimes experience bad, you have to know good, sometimes experience high, you have to know lows. I almost feel like, and I don't know if you feel the same way having that experience where you were miserable and not as happy and like you said, not using your talents in the way that can really make that impact. I imagine that probably makes it even more gratifying and fulfilling to be able to.

05:24- Andrea Lowell

To do all the things you're doing now, 1,000%. Some say you can't know the light unless you've seen the dark and it's so true. Now that I've had a pure ritual taste of both, I refuse to give the light away. I'm no longer, going to even waste my time dipping my toe in the dark. It is. Also, my self-worth has increased and I'm not going to tolerate anything that is not at that higher vibration, that higher resonance. So that's what's up.

05:54- Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. I absolutely love that. Self-worth is such a big piece so I wanted to drill down a little bit more and hear a little bit more on that. Serving your impact. How are you working with clients? Tell me a little bit about everything that you're doing with the I Am Everything project.

06:08 – Andrea Lowell

Absolutely. So yeah, I am a self-mastery coach and more so a mentor. I really hold my client's hands. So I offer one-on-one private mentorship programs. They're either going to be two months or one year long and that's where I take people through my I Am Everything project course. It's almost like therapy sessions. No two people have the same problems, blocks, limitations, careers, family life. So I can't just put people into an online, course and expect everyone to get the same results.

They need customized suggestions and so that's what I'm here to do, really be their champion, hold their hand, and let them know there's nothing that you cannot get through. So I do that as well as virtual workshops that are more attainable for everyone. That's usually free. I also do little bite-sized video nuggets of gold on Instagram where I'm doing videos and I also host retreats. So that's what I'm doing and I'm loving every bit of it.

07:06 – Gresham Harkless

Nice. I absolutely love that and it sounds like you're definitely meeting people where they are. I just really love the self-mastery coach just because I'm sure you probably Feel somewhat of the same way where we sometimes can be our own blocks and we can get in our own ways. But once you start to be able to kind of understand first of all that light that you.

07:29 – Andrea Lowell

The world is kind of your oyster 1000%. Self-mastery really is relentless self-honesty. It's self-knowledge. It's knowing who I am, and why I am pushing through anything that is not mine. Like societal programming, generational trauma, and maybe some abuse that I suffered. We don't ever diminish it or say it's not real, but we don't dwell there. We face everything and we rise and we go forward.

So that if, let's say, a characteristic or limiting belief pops back up, I know exactly where it stemmed from, so I don't have to be a victim of it. I'm gonna say, oh, no. This behavior is because of that. Already looked at that, already saw the underlying fear, the core wound. La de da da da. We're not playing that game. So it really is that radical self-awareness and self-honesty that sets the self-mastered apart from your everyday person.

08:20 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. It sounds so empowering, and I almost feel like I don't. I wonder if that's part of your secret sauce. This thing you feel kind of sets you and the organization apart and makes it unique. It sounds like for one, obviously, you'll be able to understand that everybody has that different race, as I like to call it, and they have to stay true to that. But it also sounds very empowering. So do you feel like you have this ability to, one, be able to obviously live and go through your journey, but also be able to share the keys or the tools or the ability for people to be able to unlock their lights too? Do you think that's part of your secret sauce?

08:52 – Andrea Lowell

Oh, 1000%. But I'll tell you what, my true, true secret sauce.

08:57- Gresham Harkless

Oh, yes, I'm excited.

08:58 – Andrea Lowell
I focus on spirituality. You don't have to be religious to be spiritual, or you don't have to have a super crazy, fervent belief. But what we have to do is just start connecting with something. It could be nature, it could be Jesus, Buddha, or Muhammad. It could be anything, as long as it's not what's going on between my ears, as long as it's not my brain. Because if I'm in some sort of problem and I can't seem to get out of it.

Why do I think that the same mindset or thought process that created the problem and is stuck there is going to be able to get me out of it? So what I do is I take all this self-knowledge and ancient wisdom and all these things. I even throw a little quantum theory into my teachings. But I push it to the point that you're never alone, you always have a higher power source guiding you. We just have to tap into that and that's really what sets me and my clients apart.

09:57 – Gresham Harkless

Awesome, awesome, awesome. So I wanted to switch gears a little bit and ask you for what I call a CEO hack. So this could be like an app, a book, or a habit that you have. But what's something that makes you more effective and efficient?

10:08 – Andrea Lowell

I'm going to tell you, I keep it old school. OG posts are my CEO hack. I'm not at my main computer right now. I'm at my laptop. But on my main computer, I have posted it all around it. But my favorite one says I'm operating from my highest, serving the highest, and again it's that I am in big capital letters, I am operating from my highest, serving the highest.

I will have rotating post-its that go around. But really the things on my computer are to keep me balanced and remind me why I am doing what I am doing. I set my intention each day as How can I serve? How can I show up and serve? Not what is in it for me or how much can I get done today. I don't operate from that lower self, that ego, that lack. I sit down and say how can I show up for the collective today? How can I show up and serve?

My little posts remind me because when you're working fervently, typing emails, and doing things, we can get really hectic and harried to the point where we forget to eat. We're not doing all the things that we need to be doing as big bosses and CEOs to really inspire and help other people. So I have to remind myself with my post it's nice.

11:27 – Gresham Harkless

I absolutely love that. I love the OG ness of the Post-it notes because I read something that a lot of times when we write down our goals, our intentions, as you said so well, even if we're not directly looking at it, but we have them up, they still have a huge influence on our day, our life, our weeks, or our life as a whole. So it's so important to kind of be very cognizant of those intentions that you have. I love the idea of actually putting them out there in the Post-it notes because we'll see them even when we think that we don't see them.

11:57- Andrea Lowell

That's right.

11:59 – Gresham Harkless

Nice. So what would you consider to be what I like to call CEO Nugget? So this is a little bit more word of wisdom or a piece of advice. I like to say it might be something you would tell your favorite client or if you happen to be a time machine, you might tell your younger business self.

12:12 – Andrea Lowell

Oh wow, my younger self. Don't take anything personally. It is business. Like literally what anyone's reaction is to what I'm saying, what I'm doing a proposal, their reaction has nothing to do with me. It's their reaction. Nothing is personal. All I can do is stay in my own lane, do my best, suit up, and show up every day. Also, don't be afraid to invest in yourself. Oh my gosh. I used to be in such a lack of consciousness. Even though I was financially abundant, I would not want to invest in my self-growth.

I'd, I'd invest in the hair, the massage, the nail, all the stuff that didn't matter. Don't be afraid to invest in what does matter. I think my last piece of advice is I could go into a time machine or Talk to other CEOs in training or CEOs in power right now. Your authenticity is your superpower. Stop emulating everyone else. It's okay to be inspired by people, but don't emulate others. Really, truly. Your unique voice is where your secret sauce resides.

13:21 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. I would definitely echo that. There's that quote that is yourself because everybody else has already taken it. It's so powerful. I think when you lean into that, but better yet like you said so well, you really have that be your armor, your superpower, your genius, your secret sauce. It really allows you to truly, I think, do things in a way that nobody else can do them because nobody else is you.

I think that's just so powerful. I also love the investment piece as well too, because it really brings me back to what you talked about and understand, understanding your words. So now I want to ask you my absolute favorite question, which is the definition of what it means to be a CEO and we're hoping to have different quote-unquote CEOs on the show. So Andrea, what does being a CEO mean to you?

14:02- Andrea Lowell

Being a CEO means I'm here to inspire others to their greatness. I'm here to guide them I'm here to allow people to learn from my mistakes so they don't have to repeat them. Also, a CEO is courageous. It's okay if I mess up as long as I learn from it. So I'm not afraid to make myself mistakes. I don't feign perfection and truly how I do that is through humility. So I think that a really powerful CEO, in my opinion, has to be humble, has to be fearless, and has to set the intention to inspire and guide others and that's what keeps me happy and successful.

14:41 – Gresham Harkless

Awesome. Well, truly appreciate that definition. Of course, I appreciate your time even more. So what I wanted to do now is pass you the mic, so to speak, just to see if there's anything additional that you can let our readers and listeners know. Of course, how best people can get out of you about all the awesome things that you're working on?

14:56 – Andrea Lowell

There's nothing more important than being ruthlessly self-aware and self-honesting with yourself. Whoever's listening, know that you are your own medicine, you are your own superpower, you are your own CEO and yeah, if you'd like to learn more from me, you can follow me on Instagram at the I am Everything project. Also, my website is andrealowell.com but at the I'm Everything project you'll find a link tree and there it has a bunch of my freebies.

Right now I'm thinking of the authenticity guide that I have up, it's called Beautiful Be You Until Full and is on my link tree where people can really tap into their most authentic selves with a free guide that I created. I also have an unlocking your purpose guide and raise your vibration guide. Also in my link tree in my bios where people can book one-on-one sessions with me or get on my waitlist for my mentorship programs through the, I'm Everything project. So I just want to fully empower everyone to be the highest, purest version of themselves and it's such an honor to be here. Gresham. Thank you so much for having me.

16:00 – Gresham Harkless

Absolutely. Honor is all ours and I truly appreciate everything that you're doing. Of course, we're going to have the links and information in the show notes as well too so that everybody can follow up with you, and find out about all those awesome things. I hope you have a phenomenal day.

16:12 – Andrea Lowell

My pleasure. Likewise. Talk soon.
