What do you do when the floor caves in right after you’re handed an award for being the best?
That’s what happened to Dr. Andy Neillie.
One moment he was flying around the world as a top-tier keynote speaker. The next, he couldn’t afford a plane ticket to the ceremony where he was being honored.
The speaking gigs dried up, the money disappeared, and the future turned to fog.
So what did he do? He and his wife got re-certified as lifeguards and started one of the first Aqua-Tots franchises.
This isn’t one of those “I just hustled harder” stories. It’s about resilient reinvention. It’s about what Andy calls confident uncertainty, showing up fully today, even when you have no clue what tomorrow holds.
