   399 - Your 20s Don't Matter

   In this episode of The Achievement Unlock Podcast, Andrew opens up about his first three and a half weeks on TRT — and why the real story isn't the testosterone, it's the reckoning it forced. He shares where he's at: 125mg a week plus 12.5mg of Enclomiphene to protect his fertility, bloods checked monthly under a doctor, weight swinging from 81.2 down to 79.3 as his body finds a new baseline. He's two weeks out from a half marathon and about five from Hyrox, grinding lactic-threshold intervals with Hang and 20-to-30-rep sessions with Uncle Pat, a coach staying with them from Bali. After six years of bulking, cutting and three contest preps, he admits he never actually loved bodybuilding — that 2020 was his best physique, and that the sport went against his own values while he was teaching people to have a better relationship with food. From there he unpacks the ideas he's chewing on: that TRT only makes doing the right thing feel easier, not automatic; that your ability to endure pain becomes your passion and your passion becomes your purpose; that more money doesn't make you abundant, it just hides how scarce you still are — the same way a better physique hides insecurity instead of fixing it. He tells the story of 2023, the year the business was in the red and he'd stopped talking to his parents, and how that was when Hang became his ride or die, willing to live under the bridge with him. He lands on the reframe that your 20s don't really matter — that your 30s is where life begins, pointing to Grant Cardone starting his career at 30. Not advice, he's careful to say, just his honest experience. Apply to work 1-on-1 with Andrew by: Instagram: theasiancoach Rising Tide: bit.ly/the-rising-tide

   398 - Why Everything in Life Is a Trade-Off

   In this episode of The Achievement Unlock Podcast, Andrew shares the lesson he pulled from a wild weekend — recorded live on week two of his TRT journey, with no real difference yet. He opens with the story: a Friday night gaming with the team at the Fortress LAN cafe, then edibles off a friend of a friend, and "we fucked around and we found out" — half a brownie, a nerd rope, and 24 hours greening out on the bathroom floor. Sitting at the toilet bowl asking "do I even need this?" becomes his way into the real subject: life moves in seasons, and everything worth having comes at a trade-off. He shares where he's at — around 30 days out from his first half marathon and 62 from Hyrox, grinding through his longest interval session yet (cramping at 15 of 20km), and two months off weed, which he realized had been a way of coping with low drive, now feeling clearer and more motivated. Andrew is candid that the business is in a genuinely hard season, and reflects on 2023, when he and Hang were 90K in debt, losing hair and waking up to cold sweats over the bills — and why he told her even then that they'd one day look back and call those the good times. What he didn't gain in financial success, he gained in a ride-or-die relationship and a team that would go on to tattoo "Achieve Championships" on their bodies. From there he breaks down the mindset: pain is the cost you pay for wisdom, failure is the cost you pay for success, and you'll be far happier once you make peace with the trade-off; a finite life is exactly what gives it meaning; you can't call a piece of glass bulletproof until it's been shot at, so a hard season is what proves the team; and you become high-value — "dangerous" — by learning to endure tough times instead of using them as an excuse. He contrasts obsessing over one rough month with a client fixating on a single daily weigh-in instead of the trend, recalls a seven-figure peer who measured his business "by the year, not the month," and closes on what's ahead — a new creative director, fresh ads, an AI dashboard, a relaunched free business group, and a "Behind the Business" interview series.

   397 - Finding Your Purpose & Passion

   In this episode of The Achievement Unlock Podcast, Andrew shares his evolved take on finding your purpose and passion — the raw version of a YouTube video he's putting together, recorded live on day four of his TRT journey. He opens with a quick TRT update — second pin done, more drive, less resistance (he and Hang have been kinder and more connected, and instead of ordering delivery they walked to do groceries at 6am) — then gets into the real subject. Using Conor McGregor's fear-of-success arc and a conversation with his best friend Kevin (a former deadlift world-record holder who hates day trading but endures it anyway), he lands his definition: passion is for you, purpose is for others — and passion is the pain you're willing to endure, the sacrifices you make, not the thing that makes you jump out of bed. He backs it with a track session — five 120m sprints where his fifth and final rep came in 10% faster than his fourth, because unconsciously he knew it was the last — that's the power of the mind. From there he builds toward purpose: the Japanese concept of Ikigai, the idea that "the difference between a memory and a dream is the people you share it with," that you become successful by shifting from what the world can give you to what you can give the world, and that — while coaching Hang again — the best thing he can do for his team is be the best version of himself when no one's watching. He closes on the parts that hit hardest: all choices suck (you'll suffer either way, so pick the one that moves you forward), the arrival fallacy ("change happens now," not when the TRT kicks in or you leave the toxic job), the half-billionaire friend still searching for meaning, and the reminder that life isn't about having purpose — it's about finding it, so learn to enjoy today for what it is, not for what you hope it could be.
