Amplified Impact with Anthony Vicino

Today, I'm talking about something that's been on my mind a lot lately: falling into the dopamine trap.  It's something we've all done, whether we realize it or not. You know those cheap dopamine hits like junk food, porn, Netflix, video games, smoking, drinking? Yeah, those.  They make you feel good for a little while, but then they wear off and you're left feeling like a...

A long time ago, I found myself in a pretty bad spot. Life was not going my way, and I was deep in debt with a recent breakup.  But I refused to let my circumstances dictate my future. I knew I had to take control of my life and start making some changes. One of the concepts that helped me turn things around was the four spheres of influence. And today, we're going to dive deep into one of th...

I'm going to talk about some seriously bad advice I came across on the internet.  The advice came from a guy I follow on social media who has hundreds of thousands of followers. While I usually like his content, this piece of advice was a real bummer. Basically, the advice said that if you have to force yourself to create something, you should go create something else.  At first glance, this...

In this episode, I'll be sharing three habits that I battle against in my own life and how you can overcome them too. First up, falling into the comparison trap. This is the number one habit I would remove from your life if I could.  We all fall into this trap….comparing ourselves to others and feeling discontent with where we are.   The gap between where you are and where you want to be is a...

Hey folks, it's time for an exciting story about my buddy Renee Rodriguez, the public speaking extraordinaire who decided to do the unthinkable: delete his Instagram account and start over from scratch. I know, I know, you're probably thinking "What?! Is he crazy?" But hear me out.  Renee had a bunch of followers on his old account, but the majority of them were fake accounts a...

Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite frameworks that I learned from Nicholas Naseem Tilleb, which is called Via Negativa.  It’s a framework that helps you figure out what you need to stop doing to achieve your goals.  Instead of asking what positive actions you need to take...you ask yourself what an absolutely horrible life would look like.  This helps you identify the negative aspects...

So, today, I wanted to take a moment to apologize for the tech problems we've been having. You all know we're committed to putting out an episode every day, but man…it's been a struggle!  I wanted to give you a peek behind the curtain and explain what's been going on behind the scenes. I've got some big goals for this podcast, and getting it out there every day is just one...

Today I'm gonna talk about something that really grinds my gears…the difference between giving constructive criticism and being a total jerk.  So…let me tell you about this comment I received that was totally unnecessarily abrasive. It made me realize that there's a way to give feedback without being rude. You know what I mean? It's important to be cool to each other and enter into...

I recently received a question from a guy on YouTube asking which is better: earning a million dollars a year from a business that doesn't add value to the world, or earning a hundred thousand dollars a year from a cool job.  This question only has one answer for me, but it's going to be different for everyone. For me...it's to make a ton of money doing something boring because mone...

In this episode, I will be spilling the tea on the unsexy truth about doing the work that no one else will tell you.  Sure, everyone talks about success, entrepreneurship, investing, and greatness, but let's be real...the daily grind that gets you there is often mind-numbingly boring.  But hey, I'm not just saying this...I learned it the hard way!  When I left my manufacturing company, E...

Today, I had the privilege of chatting with one of my most badass students, Wyatt.  He's in his mid-twenties and has already built a successful real estate business with over $15 million in assets.  But he's ready to expand his personal brand and start building out some sales funnels. And that's where we got on the topic of social media.  The thing is, so many people have access to...

Today I want to share with you my recent experience at the Best Ever Conference in Salt Lake City.  Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "Oh, another real estate conference, big deal." But I have to tell you, this one was different.  It provided a perspective that I had forgotten these types of events can give you.  As someone who operates a real estate company in a very insular wa...

Let's talk about magic.  I've been reading this absolutely bizarre book, and I just can't wait to tell you all about it.  It's a book on magic, but not the kind of magic you're thinking of - we're talking about sleight of hand magic, baby! And let me tell you, it's blowing my mind. It's fascinating how skilled magicians can make objects disappear and manipul...

Today, I'm excited to share with you a conversation I had with one of my coaching clients who's been struggling with cold DMs, emails, and calls.  He was having a tough time getting people to respond, let alone convert into paying customers.  But fear not, because in a previous newsletter, I laid out a playbook that shows how to go from a low-paying job to a million-dollar business in ju...

Today, we're gonna dive into the most powerful and the worst word in the world.  And let me tell you, these words can make or break your journey towards greatness.  But before we get into all that, we need to understand how our brain learns and encodes information. It's pretty fascinating stuff, actually.  We've got billions and trillions of neurons in our brain that light up every...

There are a ton of misconceptions about what wealthy people do with their money.  I recently heard someone say that they don't obsessively check their accounts every day…but that's not true. I do it, and so do many other wealthy people.  Checking your finances daily might not seem healthy, but it's important. In fact, it helped me transform my relationship with money over a decade a...

In this episode, I'm going to share with you an important daily reminder that's been on my mind lately.  It's something I struggle with every day in my pursuit of doing more and more. It's so easy to fill our to-do list with meaningless tasks that make us feel good when we check them off…but don't really move us towards our goals.  But being busy isn't the same as bei...

Today, I'm going to talk about the importance of learning the language of business. During my recent trip to Antarctica… I couldn't help but think about language and communication, especially as I traveled to a Spanish-speaking country.

I want to talk about something that I struggle with personally and I hope that by sharing it, it'll resonate with some of you. I've realized that there's a segment of the world that gets demotivated when they see others ahead of them… and I want to be conscious of how I present myself on social media because it can be misleading. I still struggle with being focused, disciplined, and...

Today I want to share a simple truth with you all. I find this to be one of the most simple truths, yet so profound and helpful when navigating through the world.  Bad decisions compound faster than good decisions. If you’ve spent any time researching investing, you’re more than likely familiar with the concept of compounding interest. This idea, this concept… applies to more than just investing....
