May 20, 2025 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy shares a wildly entertaining and surprisingly useful mix of wisdom for two very different (but equally overwhelmed) groups: parents of small children and recent graduates.

Tune in for the “Dirty Dozen”—a hard-hitting list of 12 truths every graduate needs to hear. Then, stick around for some mischievous parenting hacks that help you outsmart toddlers, win back your time, and create peace in a noisy house. It’s a classic blend of humor and practicality in true Andy Andrews fashion, offering a laugh, a plan, and a fresh dose of perspective for anyone facing the chaos of parenting or the realities of adulthood.
