Tony’s Podcast

[1:06]

Tony felt like everything comes from this place of trying to connect with what lights people up and inspiration is the word he felt like using to connect with that

[1:18]

The podcast, Virtual Campfire, came from this idea of wanting people to come together, sharing honest, really authentic stories about transformation along their path. Tony originally had this idea as people coming together, not a podcast; it would be something where people in a room are sharing around a theoretical campfire, warm, inviting stories shared in person.

Journey of Transformation

[2:50]

Tony loved creating rooms that were filled with emotions or feelings that people could experience. He was creative as a child, but along his journey, he started being told by adults that he needed to do something that was more in line with how to make of living, and make a living through art was hard.

[3:48]

Along his journey, he realized that he wasn’t doing his soul’s purpose. Despite many great achievements, he felt that something was missing.

Creative Outlet

[5:25]

Tony was an artist who loved to draw and paint. His crafts were mostly about environments and the worlds. Being artistic, Tony saw this as an ability to see things differently and continuing to enhance this ability.

[6:20]

He applied his talent in art to help people to see themselves differently and to be able to craft messages that connect with people in a way that says I can see the world differently for you.

Living the Best Out of Life

[9:21]

Life is a piece of art, and you want to make it a masterpiece.

[10:17]

Tony wanted to look at his problem differently. Thus, he had a convergence of ideas where people can have different perspectives even if only having one body.

Mindset

[13:02]

When Tony started thinking negatively, that thought pattern starts to diminish your ability to create what you want.

[13:25]

What he always does when in this situation, he often takes it as a coaching question. He finds the reason why he should keep moving forward.

[17:55]

Tony emphasizes the need to surround yourself with the right environment to nurture. Environment pertains to the people that surround you. You want to make sure you’re in an environment that nurtures you and does not starve you.

Advices

[19:40]

Tony was often asked for advice by people who wanted to enhance their work and leadership skills but were unsure what they desired.

[20:15]

His goal was to find out the underlying desire as to what drives people. This concludes with them having a different perspective as to where they are headed. Tony finds happiness when people start shifting into a new direction where your goal becomes more real.

Healing

[23:08]

When Tony started his podcast, he discovered what's it like to dwell on people's stories and realize that one of the things he needed most was to deal with his own story and own his story.

[23:42]

Your past could sometimes hold you back from being that full person you could be. To move forward, you must acknowledge and embrace it and use it to move forward.
