Vincent Antonuccio-WoW Workout World!-Sweat to Success
On episode 3, "Day Zero" interviews former Drill Sergeant turned fitness executive Vincent Antonuccio. Vince served in the military for 16 years throughout the 80s and early 90s. Post leaving the military, Vince took a series of jobs which eventually led him to join a venture with a group of friends that grew to over 30 locations in the Northeast.
Vince's life has taken him from train thief from Boston MA, to co-owner of 30 gyms in the New England area. As any Army person knows, more than a couple of cadences have the lyrics "go to war or go to jail", for Vince, that was almost a reality. After making the decision to join the Army however, Vince never looked back and even built a new life transitioning from a lifestyle of bad habits to one of being a model soldier. Vince served a total of 16 years as a Combat Medic, and ended his career as a Drill Sergeant. From there he took a series of jobs from car salesman, to programmer, to eventually collaborating with a set of business partners to begin what became the chain of 30 gyms they would build together.
In this episode, we gain some serious wisdom from a former NCO. First and foremost, Vince's biggest piece of advice to soldiers transitioning out to of the Army is that if you survived the Army, you already have in you the skills you need to be successful in the civilian world. On the business advice, the hardest part of starting a business is often taking the initial leap, you've got to do it. Lastly, Vince discusses a topic that we don't often discuss which is knowing when to make the transition out of the rat race and into retirement, and how to come to terms with what it is that we really need in life.
Vince's recommended book is "The Road Less Travelled" by Scott Peck, which can be summed up by the quote: "Life is difficult...once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult." His favorite app is the calendar, use it to organize your life. Lastly, Vince's advice to avoid the "Transition Twenty", try to find something that you like doing and keep moving!
