On this week's episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy shares a powerful perspective on a subject many people debate, but few truly understand—manners.

Tune in to hear Andy explain why manners are not about outdated rules or trying to impress people, but about something much simpler: awareness of others. Listen as he shares stories about raising his sons. In a world where courtesy has become rare, Andy explains why people who consistently demonstrate awareness stand out, earn trust, and often receive greater opportunities in business and in life.

On March 3, 1956, "Heartbreak Hotel" cracked Billboard's Top 10 for the first time, and Elvis Presley began reshaping the music world forever. In honor of that date, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations — with a man who knew Elvis not as a legend, but as a friend.

In this Encore Episode, Andy sits down with Country Music Legend T.G. Sheppard — a teenager who had run away from home and was literally eating out of garbage cans in Memphis when a chance encounter outside a roller rink at midnight changed the entire trajectory of his life. What followed was a 16-year friendship, seven years living at Graceland, and a front-row seat to one of the greatest careers in entertainment history.

Tune in to hear how a homeless 15-year-old ended up playing football on roller skates with the King of Rock and Roll, the advice Elvis gave him that fueled 21 #1 hits, and the moment Elvis finally figured out that "that Sheppard guy on the radio" was actually his old friend Bill Browder. Plus, the most embarrassing moment of T.G.'s career — courtesy of a kid with a water pistol and a white linen suit.

With the Winter Olympics just wrapping up, we thought this was the perfect time to revisit one of our most popular episodes from the archive — a conversation between Andy and one of the greatest names in Olympic swimming history.

In this episode, Andy sits down with his old college friend Rowdy Gaines — three-time Olympic gold medalist, five-time world champion, member of the Olympic Hall of Fame, and NBC's voice of swimming for eight consecutive Olympic Games.

Tune in to hear Rowdy share the story of his unique childhood in Winter Haven, Florida, and how he was cut from five different sports before trying swimming at 17 — a last-ditch attempt that changed the trajectory of his life. He opens up about the gut punch of the 1980 U.S. Olympic boycott, what it took to come back and train for three more years while working the overnight shift just to pay for food, and the razor-thin margins that separate gold from silver. You'll also hear what a 160-pound swimmer training 10 miles a day actually eats, and what it really means to stay consistently passionate about something even when you dislike doing it.
