Drawing from nearly two decades of experience, she breaks down how dysregulation shows up and why the body often defaults to familiar—even unhealthy—patterns.

• How to access your “inner yes” and intuition
• Why rest, breaks, and recovery are essential—not optional

Episode Overview:

Most people believe they need confidence before taking action—but this episode turns that idea on its head. Avery Crumrine breaks down why waiting to feel ready is one of the biggest reasons people never move forward, and how confidence is actually built through action, not before it.

Through real-life experiences, she shares how stepping into uncomfortable situations—like speaking on stage before feeling qualified—can rapidly accelerate growth. She also reframes rejection and failure as valuable data, showing how each “no” brings you closer to progress rather than pushing you back.

The conversation explores the difference between discipline and motivation, highlighting why consistency matters more than temporary excitement. Avery also explains how visibility increases accountability, pushing you to perform at a higher level, and why persistent follow-up is essential in a world full of distractions.

If you’ve been holding yourself back because you don’t feel confident, experienced, or ready enough, this episode will give you a practical mindset shift and clear direction to start taking action—and build confidence along the way.

What You’ll Learn From This Episode:

• How to take action even when you feel unqualified
• The difference between discipline and responsibility
• Why visibility increases pressure—and why that’s a good thing
• How to build resilience through repeated rejection
• Practical ways to maintain consistency without motivation

Guest: Andrew Parrillo, Financial Expert and Author

Introduction

Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Andrew Parrillo, a seasoned financial expert with over four decades of experience. Andrew is the founder of Newport Capital Advisors LLC and Victory Road Investors LLC. He authored "Beat The Wealth Management Hustle," a book aimed at helping individuals invest independently and confidently. Andrew shares his vast experience in finance, including his early career in banking, his insights on market behavior, and the principles that guide successful long-term investing.

Getting Started in Investing

Andrew discusses how he got into investing by chance, starting in a bank management training program after his military service. He was mentored by a well-respected investment research head and quickly rose to a significant position in the largest trust bank in Rhode Island. His love for competition and the challenge of investing has fueled his passion for the field ever since.

Market Highs and Lows

Dr. Lycka and Andrew discuss the significant market crashes Andrew has witnessed, including Black Monday in 1987 and the 2008 financial crisis. Andrew emphasizes that market behavior is often driven by human psychology, particularly the tendency to panic. He explains that understanding this behavior is key to maintaining a long-term investment strategy.

The Power of Compound Interest

Andrew highlights the importance of understanding compound interest and the impact of fees on investment returns. He uses the example of a 1% management fee over 20 years, which can significantly reduce an investor’s potential gains. He argues that many people pay for financial advice they don't need, and that understanding the basics of investing can save them a substantial amount of money over time.

The S&P 500 as a Benchmark

Andrew discusses the S&P 500 as the benchmark for most professional investors. He notes that while some advisors may claim to outperform the market, very few can do so consistently after fees. He advises individual investors to consider low-fee index funds as a viable alternative to managed funds.

Emotional Responses in Investing

Andrew warns against making investment decisions based on emotions, especially in response to market volatility. He advocates for a disciplined, institutional approach to investing, where decisions are made based on long-term goals rather than short-term market fluctuations.

Investing with Joy and Confidence

Andrew introduces the concept of "indivestutional" investors—individuals who adopt an institutional approach to their personal investments. By following a structured, disciplined investment strategy, he believes anyone can invest with joy and confidence, without being swayed by market panic.

Conclusion

Dr. Lycka wraps up the conversation by emphasizing the value of Andrew’s book and the wisdom it offers to everyday investors. Andrew shares how listeners can get in touch with him and where they can purchase his book, "Beat The Wealth Management Hustle."
