Meet Andre Arthur | Ergonomist/Physiologist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Andre Arthur and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andre, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
One piece of conventional advice that I disagree with is, that not everyone is suited for the traditional 9 to 5. The traditional 9 to 5 environment does not suit everyone’s work style and personality. It is crucial for people to find the right work environment that aligns with their needs, preferences and personalities.

Not everyone thrives in a structured, rigid schedule. Some people are more productive during unconventional hours or prefer a flexible work arrangement. Recognizing this, it is essential to explore alternative options that cater to different work styles.

Finding the right work environment involves understanding one’s own preferences and needs. Whether it’s remote work, freelancing, or flexible schedules, individuals should prioritize their well-being and productivity by seeking out environments that allow them to thrive.

Remember, it is within your control to create a work environment that suits you best. Don’t be afraid to explore different options and advocate for what works for you.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I started the business because I have my passion for physiology and ergonomics. I wasn’t able to really express it as an employee for a company because of the bureaucracy that exist when you are within a corporation. I also felt that my skillset was being limited to only helping companies when I could be sharing my talents to anyone that needed it. The opportunity came about when I got laid off and that is when I knew it was time for me to try building the business. I feel a lot of these companies just want to check box instead of actually making a change. For someone that truly has passion for ergonomics and physiology I wanted to do more than just “check a box.”

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would say my environment played a crucial part in my success. I have been one to always seek improvement, challenges and wisdom for self-improvement. The environment that I was raised in centered around traditional views and conventional ways of being. It wasn’t until I moved to New York City and then Los Angeles, CA, where I was then faced with alterative ways of thinking and being. I have met people from all walks of life, hearing about their professions and introduced to books, podcasts, etc on alterative views. From their I was presented with many options and was able to use these options to tailor my lifestyle to suit what I felt best aligned with my being. Living in Los Angeles which is my current home provides me that constant stimulus of innovation and new perspectives, this continues to fuel my entrepreneurship and my self-development.
