What if the one thing you said no to could have completely changed your life? In this episode of Mindset Matters More, Andy dives into the psychology of “contempt prior to investigation” — the habit of rejecting new ideas, opportunities, and feedback before giving them a fair shot. We explore why people default to no, from fear of change to ego protection, and how this keeps you small, stuck, and safe in all the wrong ways.
You’ll learn practical mindset shifts to replace automatic rejection with curiosity and discernment — because not every suggestion is valuable, but some could be the catalyst for growth you’ve been waiting for. Andy shares tools for pausing before reacting, asking better questions, filtering feedback, and experimenting with new experiences so you can break free from your comfort zone.
If you’ve ever caught yourself dismissing something before truly considering it, this episode will help you step into a mindset of possibility and play bigger in life, relationships, and career.
