As a high school teacher, I really enjoyed hearing you articulate a strategy I already use with students by becoming irresistible in order to gain their compliance. I was unaware why my strategy worked until hearing your explanation. You are a gifted communicator, and I’m looking forward to learning more from your expertise!

As a man who prides himself as an intellectual, my mind is ever focused on complexities. This was a much needed insight that simplicity is more attractive than intrigue

Clear Concise Compelling

No kidding! I often experience frustration when someone starts a conversation that feels like a slow walk to asking for a favor, using 3 or 4 teaser questions before they make their real point.

I really look foward to your sharing Andrew.Discovering you has been life changing .Suddenly I am so full of energy and drive

I decided to try to join the navy a few days ago, and yesterday YT started recommending me your videos. I don't know if there's a correlation, but I feel like your videos are really helping me prepare for this new chapter.

Clear simple message Be very specific so ppl take immediate action Propose simple specific questions

this guy out here casually putting out free game 💯

Love how there's no fluff nonsense in between good, concrete points.

Another mind blowing lesson. Lol I was afraid you were going to read one of my messages out loud, but actually you were really cool and responded. One of my messages was probably a mix of cryptic and clear language.

This made me think of the difference between an introvert and an extrovert. You seemed to have fallen into an explanation of why people would be willing to talk to an extrovert because they ask or suggest simple ideas. An introvert overthinks or thinks deep on some level so their ideas, suggestions, and/or expectations might demand more mental energy from others so they may get some negative feedback when they do come out of their shell. As an introvert, I do find it hard to keep it simple. But it is good to understand the why. Great video, thank you. At least I know how to become more appealing, but I will need alot of practice 😂

I love your podcasts. You're a great speaker and your business acumen is impeccable

Hey Andy, you have just given me the best tinder advice ever. With this message I and others want to thank you for you effort putting this video together. I wish you a lot of views and subscribers.

Great examples.. thanks Andrew

Andrew, thank you so much for sharing these awesome pearls of wisdom and advice. I look forward to each video you release!

This same subject, you spoke about, has been over dramatized by many people. I love your manner of teaching, wise, precise and brief.

Your a very good communicator who is extremely knowledgeable. I enjoy listening to you. Thank you.

Yet another lesson learned. Thank you Andy.

I first saw you on Lex Friedman several months ago. I thought you were both fascinating. I’m so happy I found your channel. Thanks for all this knowledge. Old lady in Louisiana.

Deep diving the content cause I’ve really been digging your 2023 stuff! Excited to share the stage with you in the future!

Salute to you Andrew. 😎

I always worried that I'm being TOO straight to the point ( but not enough to change) It's great to know that at least some people appreciate it!

This is my first time visiting your channel. About 7.5 minutes in, I exclaimed, "this guy's good!" and subscribed.

Great actionable and practical guidance for everyday communication. Thank you!

I despise responding to crypic messages. it seems so narcissistic to me that people think you'll give a shit if they are not clear and concise about what they want. Then again I am an ENTP. Great video!

Andrew teaching people how to human. 💪 A lot of the examples he'd given that he doesn't reply to comes from ego and a lack of vulnerability. And that's an issue we've been facing but good news is that the pendulum is swinging the other way with more men being conscious in how they show up and then actually doing something about it. We have to nurse ourselves and then the wounded females of today.

Great Content! I listen to it twice to make sure I understood every point. Thank you

These are so badass thank you sir. Im always trying to listen to the knowledge u give out

Thank you! This information is very helpful.

More amazing content from the everydayspy I have been absorbing Andrew’s content the last week, and he blows my mind with the way he thinks!

This was a great listen. Thank you

Thank you, this is fantastic advice. I never considered first interactions from this perspective. Thanks again!

Fabulous timestamps!! ❤❤❤❤❤

You’re a ‘Solid’ guy, Drew. A Good Friend of Ours, Forreal. Practical Knowledge is VITAL to Transcendence so THX.

Hi Andie this couldnt come at a right time, amazing works bro, we are greatly learning on the the amazing insights to optimizing our potential

Love the channel! Appreciate ya Andrew. 🫡

Haha. I own a construction company and i get a lot of nonsense messages from people trying to sell something. Every once in a while i get an intriguing message and call them back. Intriguing to me means that it could add value to my life.

Golden information. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent, excellent, excellent speaker and teacher!

Love your insights and your visits to other's podcasts. Enjoy watching how you relate to each person. Wish these were videos. Pam-67 year old spy wannabe be😊

Wow, information age started. Andrew Bustamante you bring value. Thank you very much)

Sure makes reaching out to prospects much simpler, thank you

Thank you for your service to our country, I love these masterclasses aswell,thanks again.

I needed to hear this. Thanks Andrew!

Love your podcasts you have been really interesting I have heard you say things that I have said myself! Rly cool to connect that way. I appreciate your knowledge and what you share would love to take a course with you. I also second the adding video to podcast point! Love the siblings Analogy I was like your son growing up and than became like your daughter more but my step dad even says what u have that “the core person doesn’t change”

Your the first famous person or influencer I actually wish I could meet, thank u

Hi Andrew, I learned a lot from your interviews. Could you please explain with an example like how to simply be irresistible in your social life ? If you can give examples between being simple and complex ? Thanks in advance

The man is amazing...a true educator...

Good advice. Thanks. Great commentary.

You mention something about flirting being it’s own breakdown and social scenario. Would you ever do a video on it? It would be interesting to get your perspective/tips on how to be irresistible in that scenario

Way to clearly tackle a tricky topic!

U R Awesome. Thank you. 🥂

I'm gonna try these Jedi mind lessons on my thesis presentation 🤝

Just want to say that YOU ARE AWESOME Andrew and I'm new to you but already learning so much about what I've been not doing right and need to tweak based on your advice! You ROCK DUDE! BikerBonnie from Llano, TX. (Which has the BEST BBQ in the WORLD!) 👍🏼😎

Andrew ive listened to thousands of hours of self help stuff and what you mention about coming at people with a simple and easy personality, rather than a complex one, has been a lifelong struggle for me and its really a profound thought that I needed to hear

Great episode! Keep it simple!!

8:02 this is already an amazing podcast and it all clicked

Your examples are hilarious Andy! Every time I see texts or emails like those, I will now hear your voice saying, "Your brain is repulsed."...yep! Lol!

Thank you for this video! I never cared about school or college bc I’m really poor and wanted to be a welder or something. But my ankles and back keep me from having a job where I can live and support myself with. I recently found my gift and it involves speaking to corporate to show them my skills. Using the information in this video should help my success rate so much! Thanks man! Bless you! 🙌🏾🙏🏾

Yup. That's why if someone doesn't set a date or time for a meetup or at the LEAST a date and a time frame then i dont take them seriously at all!

Amazing video! I am going to start out asking " Would you like ______ for dinner? Instead of asking "What would you like to eat?" I already know it's going to make my life easier. Now that I've had this lesson, I'm going to apply this to almost everything I can and see where it gets me!

Thank you

your a legend, appreciate you.

Andy,I'm humbled from your honest approach to helping others and the honor & loyalty to your family by putting them first is a perfect example of being a confident Man of God Almighty,

So amazing !! You are always like the magnet to a piece of iron. Lots of love from Nepal.

clear and simple

This is your subject. You're definitely irresistible.

Love your content

18:19 - “No need to respond if you’re too busy.”

Thank you so much Andy 🤗💪

Nothing like clarity

I appreciate you sir

Good stuff 🤙

Dude you're awesome

You are a master teacher. Your lessons are crystal, structured, and straight to the point. I find myself being able to become a sponge and soak in the ‘knowledge ‘ from your ‘information’ . Outstanding work!

Thanks Andrew from another Andrew

Hi Andrew. That was a great discussion. I am noticing the parallels between your insights and Bishop's Framework for communicating under stress to prevent misunderstandings. In this framework one structures responses to provide as clear, concise and low-processing overhead as possible in accordance with a basic structure: Greeting - observation - concern - proposal -request for buy-in. So something like (taking an aviation example): Hey George, I am seeing a fuel imbalance. I am concerned maybe we have a fuel leak. I would like to brief diverting in case this worsens. Is that all right with you? Does that closely play into what you are suggesting here?

I this might be the ONE Ive always wished for. Is for people to be direct with me.... Talk directly to me...instead of through a wire or an air way... Humanity in me starves for it will starve for it. It's a rare form if you think about it, directly.

Using the podcast request as a template!

no doubt, bustamonte is a sharp, intelligent person. no doubt. granted kudos for graduating from USAFA. few years with the agency and he treats the former, and he is permitted i assume, like it was an MBA pre program. i worked for DoS in the middle east for years. the agency CI and others i knew. mostly older than bustamonte, retired living in a foreign nation. safe, secure. one teaches at a US college online and his cover is he was a retired HS principle. from what i know, they would put a bullet in their head in their aunt's kitchen before they would... talk and yapp like a lot of these guys do on: vetting, NS, training, selection and trade craft. then again, they did both 25+ yrs career. the agency was not just "a" career stepping stone to making big money with their own company. this is much different.

brother got a sick intro tune tho 😎

Andy, do they teach you any of the techniques that they do in the gateway tapes? Or is that kind of a special section doing its own thing? A lot of it seems like it could be very, very very very useful to anybody for any day considering it shows you how to get into deeper focus and deeper rest.

Ok I can understand that messages need to get straight to the point especially for busy people On the subject of irresistible..any chance on a topic on Sexpionage or loverboy method used in spywarefare

You're a very inspiring human and have been confirming all manner of things that I had already boiled down and known about/had suspisions of since I was a toddler. You are educating, inspiring and a well-articulate scholar. Thank you for all your work!

Those shady DM’s are sales and marketing tactics that will work only on the uninspired and clueless targets…. Unimaginative, salesy, click-baity, and tabloidy. You get my drift.

Hey Andrew, seen you around for a while but new to your great content. I know you might be aiming for powerfully average, but you have a well- known face, and videos might drive a lot more clicks for you!

The second email haha. That's the first one I'd ignore 😂 Thank you for spending your time on us Andy.

0:14 FREEDOM!! 🧠💾

Video would go a long way!

I think if you watch this yourself and examine yourself with further introspection, you will come to the conclusion that you're not responding to "the directness and simplicity of the message", you are responding to the "suck up", the inflation of ego. It's okay, that just makes you human. Maybe this is a Eureka moment? I don't know. That is for you to decide.

Yeah, right...

My only complain is that he didn't give any examples of flirting messages over social media:-)

Interesting. Being desirable must be exhausting. I would prefer to be non existent but it makes it hard to pay bills.

just fell down a AB podcast wormhole.... but I'm more than a little disappointed that there's no AB & mike glover podcasts.... both guys are top tier communicators

I wonder if this could put me ahead

Just another great piece of wisdom, nothing special...until you actually try to apply it! Turns out really doing these things are harder than simply hearing them. The only thing more impressive than most of this content is that so few people have noticed yet.

Thing is. When I act mysterious and don't answer many questions in detail. Women have become addicted to me. 5k earners and high education. So... Being aloof is quite powerful in attraction 🤔

Andrew I respect your sincerity, skills and knowledge. Let me be complicated for a minute... Do you think though that intelligence agencies are disinterested in freedom and openness? I think they are about information and knowledge, but not avout human understanding. How I used to tell the hackers at conferences from rhe NSA vs the open source hackers was the ones into secrets and specialness were into knowledge and how much they know. Whereas the open source types were into understanding and trusted that human capacity .... i think the later is what kept us secure after the second world war and is a common strain in many intellectuals who recalled the holocaust. "Open society and its enemies" karl popper, or noam chomsky. The difference between knowledge and understanding... if they look tautological to you, its that inability to distinguish which is dangerous. The nazis had no problem with knowledge... they had a problem with intellectuals who tried to form understanding independently. That is who they sent to the camps. The same thing is repeated in soviet and chinese history. Do you think the US is unique here? Knowledge is not freedom. Understanding is freedom.

What microphone do you use?

Bro, this is hilarious. I run a business and I get shit like this all the time and I’m annoyed because I don’t like to waste time. I be getting the “Hey bro can we talk?” “Yo hit me back ASAP?” DMs
