Everything happens for a reason.

As cliché as the statement is, this is our guest’s life mantra. This is his trademark which sets him apart – to embrace failure as it comes and learn from it.

Our guest for this episode is the founder of #BeTheChange, an entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Anthony Russo.

Anthony’s strategy and coaching style stemmed from his experience growing up with his compulsive gambler dad and eventually, at one point, his addiction to gambling as well. Hitting rock bottom saved him and his mother’s life. He flipped the script and applied it to win in business and life.

• Discovering the Double Down Strategy [2:54]

“It takes a lot of failure to realize that you are so good at failure.”

• The Negative Progression Strategy [6:50]

“I never made the same mistake twice.”

• My Failure Gave My Mom a Renewed Purpose [16:44]

“If that business was successful at that point, I might have a successful business and no mother.”

• Bouncing Back [27:36]

“Find a happy medium until you go all in.”

• Financial Rock Bottom and the Light [32:55]

“Nobody gets lucky.”

• Anthony’s Relationship [44:48]

“Be willing to take the world as it comes.”

• Happiness does not equate wealth [46:24]

“I need much less.”

• #BeTheChange [49:45]

“We have a potential to create change in the social media.”

• Therapy [53:43]

“The most important person in therapy is not the therapist.”

• Awareness [1:02:00]

“Stop talking about what you know and start what you can do to get there.”

 

Anthony speaks and coaches from experience and as an expert on the topic of failure to triumph. His own experience of failure could not have made sense during that moment but in hindsight, it was a blessing in disguise as it resulted in keeping his mother.

Are you afraid of failing? Then think again. It also means you are afraid to succeed.

Now, go and do something. Everything will make sense someday.
