EP3 Tony Clemente: From Gang Street To Wall Street


Listen Later

In some sense, Tony should have been either killed, incarcerated, or locked-up in a psychiatric ward. At 14 and abandoned by divorced parents, Tony was living alone with his teenage brother. Every night, every criminal gang from the area would move in-and-out of the house. Drugs, alcohol, parties, violence - Primrose Lane wasn’t a place you’d want to mess with, as your chances were slim. So was Tony’s odds to last.

However, somewhere along the way, Tony got a shot to turn his life around. Fast forward, now settled in Singapore, he enjoys wife, kids, a beautiful life, and a successful career in high finance. Tune in, this will be the craziest but most inspiring story you hear this week.
