In this episode of The Modern Financial Podcast, Andre discusses people who want to sabotage your progress. These people are manipulative and you have to take extra steps to make sure these people do not destroy what you have built. Andre shares how to recognize these people and the importance of listening to your gut without emotion to get them out. However, Andre also goes beyond the knee jerk reaction of wanting to get back and looks deeper on their possible motivations. He explains how he keeps good relationships because living in a small world with adversaries is simply counterproductive and not what he wants to happen, both personally and for the company culture.

Andre: "We have to be mindful and conscious of what we hear and are we really hearing what we want to hear or what's being said to us. There's two different types of listening, so sometimes we have to look past the words to see what the actions are."
Andre: "We always know instinctively what the right thing to do is, the hard thing is to do it. So when you run across this situation, in your mind you go, gosh, I know what to do here but you're struggling, then you have to do it. You already know."
Andre: "I want to keep a friend, not a foe, and keep the relationship there because it's a small world. Why have an adversarial relationship with somebody in a small world? Doesn't make any sense to me."
