BROTHER ANDRÉ
I HELP AUDIENCES UNDERSTAND HOW TO PROTECT WHAT THEY BUILD, SCALE WHAT THEY START, AND LEAD WITH INTENTION.
HIS PURPOSE
MEETING YOUNG MEN WHERE THEY ARE
In a moment that changed everything, Brother André shared his story with a room of young men at Job Corps, with only 15 minutes of preparation and a lifetime of purpose behind him. When he finished, the line to speak with him said everything. What he saw in their eyes reminded him of a truth he lives by: most young men aren’t trying to be hard, they're trying to be heard. And he’s committed to being a voice they can trust.

He is committed to helping individuals move from uncertainty to clarity, from chaos to confidence, and from surviving to building legacy with intention.
