What if the success story wasn’t a story at all? What if it was just survival?

In this episode, Antonio Zivanovic shares what it took to build a career in strategy, brand, and venture capital while carrying the weight of a childhood shaped by instability and fear. But this isn’t a playbook. It’s a reflection. On resilience. On repression. And on what gets buried when performance becomes protection.

We talk about becoming a provider at thirteen, the identity crisis that followed burnout, and the long-overdue work of healing after a life spent chasing the next level.

This one is about more than career. It’s about confronting the past that shaped you, and finally choosing to live with both eyes open.
