Welcome to another power-packed episode of the Get Alpha Mindset Podcast, where we unpack what it takes to live life at the highest level of purpose, passion, and resilience.

In this episode, we sit down with Anthony Ricciardi -- a former D1 baseball player, Bay Street financier, and now globally acclaimed artist whose works have lit up Coachella, New York Fashion Week, TIFF, and luxury walls around the world. Despite being colorblind, Anthony transformed his so-called "disadvantage" into a unique creative superpower.

🎨 From painting in secret during finance days to quitting it all just before his wedding and first home to pursue art full-time, Anthony shares:

- How he built a global art brand with no traditional gallery backing

- Turning rejection into opportunity and patience into process

- Working with brands like **Disney, Adidas, and The Prisoner Wine Co.**

- Why the heart is at the center of his art and mission to inspire

- The _real_ grind behind 2 a.m. painting marathons and 30-layer canvases

This episode is a must-listen for dreamers, creators, entrepreneurs, and anyone feeling stuck in the 9-to-5, craving something more.

We’re kicking off Season 4 with a story that hits deep. In this episode, Andrew Daye — breathwork coach, Muay Thai enthusiast, wellness educator, and the creator of the $10K McDonald’s burger — opens up about his powerful journey through trauma, self-discovery, and healing.

Raised in government housing by a single mom and surrounded by hardship, Andrew transformed a life of rage, loss, and father wounds into purpose, peace, and personal power. Now, he helps others unlock their full potential through breathwork, mindfulness, and movement.

💬 In this episode:

• Growing up in “toxic soil” and the effects of generational trauma
• Forgiving an absent father and rebuilding that relationship
• Beating asthma through breathwork
• Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu as therapy
• Biochemical vs psychological energy: what fuels us
• Rebuilding from rock bottom — mentally, emotionally, financially

🎧 Whether you're healing, hustling, or somewhere in between — this is a conversation for every human trying to level up with heart.
