New York Times Best Selling Author Andy Andrews joined The Ford Faction to talk about his life. Andy is a Birmingham native, told the guys the story of him graduating from Berry High School and attending Auburn University and not quitting, but leaving college. Andy went into detail about what influenced him, being homeless, and even shared his book “The Travelers Summit.”

Great quotes from Andy throughout the interview- ”Still working on that college degree”

“Homeless wasn’t a word back then”

“I had a way of making a bad situation worse”

“I went from having $2500 after my parents died to spend it on a trailer, then I had a car and a trailer. Next, I had a trailer and a motorcycle. Then I just had a motorcycle and a tent. Then just a tent…..then I slept under a bridge”

Zac- “What happened to the tent?”

“I don’t know”

We erupted in laughter because the story was so humbling to hear in person.

Andy went on about his time being “Homeless”

“Met an old guy that told me how it was”

“I said I don’t believe in God”

“He said you don’t have to, Gold still believes in you”

“He also told me that thinking thing will get you in trouble”

“You will not see anyone successful who doesn’t have a great imagination”

“When you’re an adult you discipline yourself or society will discipline you”

Andy goes into meeting Pete Rose one day in Las Vegas and Pete Rose calls him the PBS guy, and said “I’ll sign anything you ask me”

Andy replied- “Write sorry I bet on baseball, Pete Rose”

“AND HE DID!”

Andy received another baseball a couple of months later from someone who asked him about being friends with Pete Rose?

The baseball said-

“Andy, please pray for me…. Pete Rose ”
