The Anthony Amen Show

Send us Fan Mail Everyone wants to become a trillionaire. Almost nobody wants to pay the price. Extreme success demands extreme sacrifice. It costs time, comfort, relationships, and years of relentless focus that most people will never see. In this episode, we break down what it really takes to build at the highest level, why mission comes before comfort, and the trade-offs that come with chasing...

Send us Fan Mail Most people chase money while neglecting the one thing that makes earning it possible. Your health isn't a luxury. It's your foundation. If your energy is low, your sleep is broken, and your habits are falling apart, your business, career, and relationships will eventually follow. In this episode, we talk about why fitness is leverage, how small daily habits build discip...

Send us Fan Mail Most people don't have a pricing problem. They have a value problem. If your first instinct is to discount, you're training people to buy based on price instead of results. Free work can build trust. But if you keep giving away what works, don't be surprised when people stop valuing it. In this episode, we break down when free is smart, when it's self-sabotage,...

Send us Fan Mail Most people think accountability means admitting when you're wrong. It doesn't. Real accountability is taking ownership and changing your behavior. That's where growth happens. In this episode, we discuss why accountability is leverage, how boundaries create healthier relationships, why some people stay stuck in the same patterns, and how leaders can create stronger...

Send us Fan Mail Hiring your friends feels like loyalty until the first time you need to correct them, cut their hours, or fire them. We talk through the real cost of mixing friendship and payroll, why it almost always backfires, and how we learned to set rules that protect the business without treating people like robots. If you’ve ever felt guilty for being “too blunt” as a boss, this conversati...

Send us Fan Mail Blame feels like relief for about five seconds, then it quietly steals your power. Yaw and I are taking this show in a sharper direction by focusing on accountability and how personal responsibility creates real leverage, in your business, your relationships, and your mindset.    We start with a blunt leadership lesson from entrepreneurship: hiring friends because you like them is...

Send us Fan Mail A birthday can be a party, or it can feel like a receipt that shows exactly where your time went. That tension is where we start. I’m turning 36, and I’m honest about the part I hate: birthdays remind me that time is moving, goals still feel far away, and “later” is not a strategy. From there, Yaw and I get into the mindset that actually helps me: urgency without recklessness, spe...

Send us Fan Mail Most raise advice I hear is built on hope: work hard, wait long enough, and eventually somebody notices. I don’t buy that. I believe if you want more money, you need leverage and leverage comes from measurable value. In this episode, I break down a cleaner, tougher, and more practical approach to salary growth. I talk about how to connect your work directly to business growth, how...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Andrew to hear the real story behind building a martial arts studio that has survived for 31 years. We talk about the setbacks that shaped him first, from pursuing criminal justice and trying multiple times to become a police officer, to finally reaching a breaking point where he had to ask himself: What do I actually control, and what do I do next...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I talk about how you can learn more about leadership from one tough question than from a hundred motivational quotes: would you keep this employee, or fire them? I put myself on the spot with ten rapid scenarios that every manager eventually faces, from “I’m late again” to missed deadlines, sloppy follow through, blame shifting, and even walking out early because...

Send us Fan Mail Yaw and I break down the reality of entrepreneurship and the loneliness that can come with it. Even when you’re surrounded by people and things look like they’re working, it can still feel like you’re carrying everything on your own. We talk about building the right team, understanding that not everyone will care the way you do, and how to find the right people around you who actu...

Send us Fan Mail Two brothers working under the same roof sounds simple… until you hear what actually powers it. On this episode of The Anthony Amen Show , Anthony talks with guests Devin and Tyler about the shared family code that shaped who they are today—built on hard work, consistency, and refusing to quit on yourself. Anthony dives into the defining moments that influenced them, from watching...

Send us Fan Mail I’ve been thinking a lot about how the college question was never really about education—it’s about outcomes. Growing up, I constantly heard, “What school are you going to?” like there wasn’t even another path. Now I’m starting to challenge that script by actually looking at real numbers, real stories, and what a degree really gets you in 2026. On one hand, I can see what college...

Send us Fan Mail Credit card debt feels normal… until you run the numbers. In this episode, we break down the “money math” that determines whether you build wealth or stay stuck paying interest. From 22% APR and compounding debt to balance transfers, HELOCs, and paying off high-interest debt first, this is a practical conversation about how money actually works. We also touch on assets vs liabilit...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we break down what happiness really is and whether it’s something you can actually build. We get into depression, bullying, and the moments where people feel like they don’t matter. This is a real conversation about mental health, self-worth, and why relying on others alone isn’t enough. True happiness comes from building it within yourself. We also talk about pra...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Ulysses to talk about what it really takes to chase filmmaking. From growing up with a single mother who immigrated from Mexico to building his own path in film, his story is about sacrifice, pressure, and purpose. We get into the realities of the industry, why most people quit, and what it takes to keep going when it gets hard. If you’re chasing s...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with George to talk about how loss can either harden you or shape you. He shares what it was like losing his mom to cancer during his senior year and how that pushed him to understand health, pain, and how people cope. We also get into identity, going from football to feeling lost, and what changed when he stepped into training at Redefined Fitness. Thi...

Send us Fan Mail The wedding doesn’t magically upgrade your relationship. The real upgrade or the real collapse usually starts when the pressure hits: kids, sleep loss, money stress, business risk, and the moment you realize the help stops showing up. Anthony Amon from Redefined Fitness and Yao get honest about what marriage looks like when you’re building a business and raising a family at the sa...

Send us Fan Mail A single bad fall can change everything, especially when the “standard” plan is pills and bed rest and you keep getting worse. That’s where Dr. Jeff Block’s story starts, and it quickly turns into a bigger conversation about what chiropractic care really looks like when it’s built around athletes, movement, and consistent problem solving for back pain and neck pain. We talk about...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, Yaw steps into the spotlight to answer the question everyone keeps asking: who is he, and how did he get here so fast? Yaw shares his full story, from growing up in New York with Ghanaian immigrant parents and facing real financial struggles, to chasing a safe path in medicine while quietly feeling unfulfilled. He opens up about discipline...

Send us Fan Mail Most job advice is polite. This one is practical, a little ruthless, and built from the employer side of the table. We walk through what actually separates the candidate who gets a call back from the pile of “easy apply” submissions. If you’re trying to get hired in fitness, sales, marketing, or any role where your attitude and effort show up fast, you’ll hear exactly what hiring...

Send us Fan Mail Six years to break even sounds like failure on paper, but it can also be the moment your business finally tells the truth. We dig into one of the hardest questions in gym ownership and entrepreneurship: when is it worth staying in the fight, and when is it time to change course? We talk candidly about money goals versus mission goals, how burnout creeps in, and why ego is often th...

Send us Fan Mail “Entrepreneurship gives you freedom” is the line everyone loves to repeat, but we put it on trial and the verdict gets complicated fast. We talk about the kind of freedom business ownership can actually buy: control of your time, control of your schedule, and the ability to choose what you’re building your life around. Then we get honest about the part nobody posts online, the men...

Send us Fan Mail Motivation sounds great until it disappears on a random Tuesday. We kick off a rapid-fire game that quickly turns into a real, practical debate about discipline vs motivation, consistency vs skill, and why “starting” is often the only hack that matters. If you care about habits, personal growth, and building an entrepreneurial mindset that survives bad moods, you’ll get a lot out...

Send us Fan Mail Ever look at a medical bill and wonder who actually gets paid—and why the numbers make no sense? We sat down with Dr. Christopher Eamon, interventional pain physician, and Tim Groth, CEO of Groth Pain & Spine, to map the full journey from exam room to reimbursement, and the hidden incentives shaping your care. From CPT and ICD-10 codes to clearinghouses and payer edits, we bre...
