Amplified Impact with Anthony Vicino

I’ve got a powerful idea I want to share...a tweet that really hit home for me. Here's the deal: If you try and fail, people will mock you.  If you try and succeed, they’ll tear you down.  But if you don’t try at all?  You’ll be nothing.  We’re all here to do something extraordinary, and that means stepping out of the ordinary. So, don’t hold back.  Embrace the fear, go for greatness, and rem...

Today’s episode is coming to you straight from Italy.  We’ve been journeying from Rome to Lago di Garda, and tomorrow, we’re heading to France.  This week, I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective...how it shapes our experiences in life and business.  It’s wild how two people can look at the same thing and see completely different outcomes, right?  Being here has made me realize that different c...

Networking used to terrify me.  I’d drive to events, sit in the parking lot for 20 minutes, and then just head home. But I knew real estate required connections, so I pushed myself...one small step at a time.  Fast forward to now, I’ve realized networking is a powerful “petri dish of serendipity.”  Whether it’s at an event or on social media, putting yourself out there opens doors you didn’t even...

Last weekend, we went up to Duluth for Jamie's birthday and stumbled upon an art festival.  It was filled with talented artists, but something felt off.  Despite their incredible work, these artists seemed unhappy and disengaged.  I realized it was the same issue many creatives face: they struggle to market themselves.  Here's the thing—no matter how talented you are, if you don't c...

But let's be real...that moment never...

We often make the mistake of emulating successful people by copying what they do now, without understanding what they did to get there.  The routines, systems, and habits of someone at the top aren't necessarily what got them to the top.  It's crucial to study their journey and adopt the behaviors they had when they were in the early stages, grinding with limited resources.  So, if you&a...
