Andre Popa was born in Romania under Communism. His family made the journey to America when he was 9 years old with nothing but each other. No English, no money and no choice but to work hard as a family to survive! Yes, dumpster diving was a thing! Overcoming the communist mindset that “Nothing is Possible” to the American Way of “Everything is Possible” was the pivot point for Andre. As a young immigrant, he learned the art of sales by hustling whatever he could get his hands on… avocados, candy, newspapers, puppies, etc! Buy low, sell high! He bought his first piece of Real Estate at the age of 25, launching a great career in Design, Construction and Investing, which placed him among numerous Celebrities and high profile clients. His Success in Real Estate also opened up many doors to Training, Coaching and Speaking for thousands of Investors across the country! The message was simple, “Since money makes you more of who you are, let’s make you a Badass”! All the years of hard work as an Entrepreneur, and many ups & downs, organically gave birth to the passion project, Badassery Factory, which he founded with his HOT wife, Tami! Andre met Tami in 2000 and they have been inseparable ever since! They build businesses together, travel the world together, and most importantly brought 2 amazing spirits into this world, Ariana & Bella! Today, Andre brings a new level of Tough Love to Audiences & Clients around the world! His Moto…”Every kick in the ass, is a step forward”! Andre is extremely Grateful to be in America, the land of Opportunity!
