Yo, what’s up. I am here with my man, Anthony Precie. What’s up, bro? How are you?

Anthony: How’s it going, man?

Ryan: Dude, I am amazing. I am so happy that we could do this because we go way back. We’ve been friends since college man. This is crazy.

Anthony: That’s so crazy. That was like 2013.

Ryan:​Dude. I know. It’s so crazy. And what’s funny is when I met you in college, I was pitching you on a business idea. That’s how we met. So funny.

Anthony: I remember that. I remember that.

Ryan: The same. Okay, cool. Let’s dive deep. Let’s get straight into it. I really want to go into your background and the mindset pretty much before you became an entrepreneur. So, who was Anthony growing up? Maybe in like elementary, middle school, high school. Tell me about yourself growing up?

Anthony: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My childhood. I was always an athlete and I always had the competitive edge to be the best in soccer. That was like my main sport. And I can remember this guy. It was his team against my team every recess break, middle-school break even in high school, we were competitive, we played on opposite teams. But my mindset goes way back. It goes back from my parents. To hear my parents’ store is actually absolutely life-changing My mom’s dad died when she was 11. She moved to United States when she was 13. So, she left her family. My dad’s parents divorced when he was nine and his dad took all the money and his mom took care of five kids. So, both of my parents came from broken homes, not financially wealthy. And my dad shared this story with me when he was 18 years old, that he knew graduating high school. If he didn’t go to college, it wasn’t going to be anything because like back then college was the big deal and he told me that he had to make a decision and his decision was to go in the military. So, I grew up in a military background and I remember living in New York, living on a military base. My dad had high expectation, high standards for us as kids. Pay really close attention to detail and to do things when you’re told right away, don’t wait, it’s just success, low speed and it’s all about urgency.

So, having that instilled in my mind at an early age was super important, but I think as I began to grow older and be more financially comprehensive of what was going on, I remember sharing a meal at McDonald’s with my brother when we were just six years old and that was called going out. And then I remember when I turned 10 years old, my dad pulls me in his room and he pulls out his paychecks. He pulls out his bills and he shared when he would only have a couple of hundred bucks a month after he paid all his bills. So, I saw that and I remember asking him like, Hey, can we do this? Can we do that? Can I play club soccer? And I grew up around where money, where there was, you had just enough but not enough to do extra things. And at an early age it taught a lot of like gratitude. It’s thought a lot of appreciation, just being grateful for what you have, because you do have more than the average person, even if you have less. So, I remember when I was in middle school and I saw the little amount of money that we had that I understood and I was like, what if I can’t play club soccer, if it’s going to be hard for me to play club soccer, I’m going to mow people’s lawns. I remember making a flyer at the age of 12 or 13 years old and I like the old Dell computer, the big box computer with the boxy keyboard and everything. And I said, I’ll mow your lawn. $10 front, $10 back. Here’s my mom’s cellphone. If you want me to do it, just call her because I don’t have a phone. Bro, literally when people called my mom, they asked her if this was for real and I ended up mowing about five to 10 people’s lawns every weekend. And when people began to found out why I was doing it because on the street, they would see me just playing soccer every single day but when they found out the true intention of, I was doing, it was to play club soccer. They paid me more than what I asked for because they saw the vision that I had for myself to be a better athlete, to play at a higher level. And I remember growing up, my dad would work graveyard shifts.

So, I wouldn’t see my dad Monday through Friday and seeing that at early age, it’s just like he has the money. Like when we began to get older, he began to make more money. He started developing himself and I was like, yeah, he makes a lot of money. He drives a Jaguar, but he doesn’t have time and freedom. And I noticed that at an early age, I was like, that’s interesting. And then we’re able to do more. My dad began to buy a boat. He began to buy a truck and began to buy more things. And we were able to do more, which was amazing and I was like, I think I was like 15, 16 years old is when that transition started happening. So, from there, I remember like fast forward to 18 years old. My mom comes in my room, rips off my blanket and says, I have a job interview for you. I was like, what? So, my first ever job, my first ever interview, I got hired at Stater Brothers, the grocery market and being told what to do. I had a hard time dealing with that. And I remember working, I remember my manager. I would tell him like, Hey, like I’ll have soccer games Friday night. I can’t work Friday night and he would still put me on the schedule and just to know that they weren’t supportive of like my future goals. And another example was I had an SAT in high school on Saturday morning and they wanted to work me Friday night. And I told them that I can’t work Friday night because I have a SAT the next day. I would get written up or whatever, the little formal things that they do. And that when I was 18 years old, like, you know what I hate being told what to do. Like they’re just not supportive. I don’t have control over my own calendar. So, I moved along and then I started going to college and that’s when I met you. And when I met you shared, you turned around. We barely knew each other. You turned around and said, Hey, do you want to make an extra 600 bucks? I was like, I have no idea who you are. Like, no.

Ryan:​So funny.

Anthony: And then I had a class, a public speaking class with a good friend of mine. He says, Hey man, there’s this really cool event. We’re teaching people how to make an extra 600 bucks a month and to have more time freedom. I was like, he says an event tonight. You think you can make it? I was like that would be good. Yeah, sure. I want to know how to make 600 bucks and have time and freedom. And I walked in the house and you were the presenter. I was like, no way this is the guy turned around and asked me the same question. What are the odds? And then we did that company and I didn’t make anything that first year, but I won. I won a lot. I won a lot within my personal development. I won a lot with finding my true, why. I won a lot in meeting true friends who had the same vision of living a financial and time freedom. And we go way back and I can list a lot of names, but we go way back and to see exactly where we’ve grown today is absolutely phenomenal. But yeah, just the whole background is, comes from seeing my parents live the lot that they live. Money was always an issue, not being in control of my own schedule, being a former athlete, a professional athlete, but you always have that competitive edge to just be the best. Getting involved with my first business it was scary, but I knew that if I never tried, I would have lost anyways. So why not just give it a shot? So, from there and out with my, like becoming an entrepreneur, it’s just being coachable. Like it took me a year to read my first personal development book and just doing the do and learning from people who have the results that you want, being super organized. And it’s just stuff you learn in school, even though it’s not a business, just being organized with tests and homework and due dates and just have that competitive edge to have grit to want to do more, want to learn more, want to be more, wants to earn more, want to grow more and just having that growth, coachable mindset, which is super important.

Ryan:​Anthony, bro, your story is insane, man. I didn’t realize how your childhood was growing up, man. That’s insane. So powerful. I really want to go back a little bit and talk about the power of environment, bro, because everything that you just shared with me, it’s a hundred percent the environment that you grew up in, which is what determined who you became. It literally determined your future because of the parents that you grew up with, man. And I feel like when people realize that either they want to stay where they’re at or they realize they want to become something bigger environment plays a big deal with that. And if they don’t realize if their environment is serving them or not serving them, they have to make a decision like, Hey, do I want to stay in this environment or do I want to create a different environment for you for myself? So, I could see from your story, how your environment literally created that competitive edge that you were talking about. Right?

Anthony: Yeah.

Ryan:​Man, that’s insane. So, I really want to talk about what you were talking about when you’re going from wanting to invest into your passion because you wanted to be a soccer player. When I met you, you’re going pro. Where did that idea come from wanting to work for money and sacrifice your weekends to mow lines just so you could invest into your passion? Like where did that idea come from? Did it just come from yourself or did you see it somewhere or what?

Anthony: I think what happened was is that I was just lying in bed, close my eyes. And this was so, I was so young. I didn’t even know what meditation was or visualization was. I was like, how can I make money? What can I really do? And I was like, I mow the lawn every weekend. And I remember mowing the lawn Saturday morning and I saw someone pull up with a truck mowing other people’s lawn. I was like, I have a lawn mower. They have a lot more and they’re mowing their lawn and they don’t live there. They must be making money. So, I started pondering on it more. I was like, I think I’m just going to make a flyer. I really like when your desires are so heavy and your desires are so strong and you’re crystal clear with your vision, you will be as creative as you want to make sure that comes true. And I think that’s exactly what I did.

Ryan:​Wow. It’s very interesting. A lot of successful entrepreneurs that I meet, they either come from a military background or they come from a sporting background because that’s where you develop that grit and that passion for, Hey, this is my one thing that I want to become great at. And that’s literally what happened to you. You started thinking like an entrepreneur at 12 years old. That’s so incredible. Okay. Okay. So, I also see another trend when you started your first company. So, you said, even though you failed, you didn’t see it as failure because you’re growing into your personal development. Tell me your mindset behind that? So, like how come you didn’t see it as a failure, even though you didn’t make money.?

Anthony: The relationships with the people who have experienced the same, I don’t want to say pain, but the same experience as me of not really making money and doing the meetings, reading the books and being resourceful. Like I remember my really good friend actually invited me just by being a part of this company. He what’s it called, he quit school. He dropped out of college. Instead of becoming a lawyer to become a producer in LA and Hollywood. And just to find your true purpose and to be really awake about what you can do with your life instead of following the rat race, that was a win because I look at my friend, I’m like he saved thousands and thousands of dollars and many years of probably not feeling fulfilled, stop doing that to chase his own vision, his own purpose. And when I saw that, I was like, that’s a real awakening right there. And from there I was like, alright, I’m going to do the personal development. I’m going be really resourceful. Now I’m going to attend the meetings, even though I’m not making any money, even though I have no prospects to bring, because just being in that environment alone just buys you time. Being in that environment will actually inspire you to do more because when you see your friends winning, it inspires you to be more resourceful so you can win with them. And I think by doing that and just learning and growing with each other, that’s a win because that first year of being in business, that is the start of my journey of becoming an entrepreneur and it reflects to where I am today.

Ryan:​Environment came up again, man. Like I mentioned, how environment was there with your parents and the same thing here in the business environment is you’re surrounded by people going after their dreams, after their passions and that literally left an impact on you. Hey, like your environment matters for where you are and where you want to go. So, I want to go into your business. So, you started this first company, even though you didn’t make money, you still saw yourself as a success because you are literally changing as a person and you’re pretty much preparing yourself for your future. So, what happens after this? So, tell me about maybe your first company, your second coming. What happens after this initial initiation into business?

Anthony: So, after that first company, it was at the end of the day, it was a learning experience and it ended up folding and I was just focusing on soccer and then I got introduced by another opportunity. It was from you again, I remember meeting Colton and, on the phone, and he was just sharing like, the system that we have or that he has. I remember him inviting us to our first event and he paid for it. He paid for the RV, he paid for the ticket. And I remember watching a bigger audience. Our first company, we had a good amount of people who would never went to an event. Our second company, there was way more people and I went to my first ever event. And when I once my first ever event and I saw these people walking across stage and they were only 24 years old making six figures a year. And I was like 21 at the time. I was like, yo. If they can do that with what I know now, if I can learn from them, then I can be just like them without a doubt. And it was the environment again. It was our previous group, which was a great environment to a new environment, but it was just, it was a more inspiring environment. It was so amazing. I just remember leaving that first event and I was like, wow, this is so crazy. People need to know about this. I’m more inspired to learn more, to grow more and to earn more. And what can I do next? So, I think that’s what happened after our first company. It’s just going to that event just completely fired me up.

Ryan:​Dude, environment matters. What do you think was like the driving force for you to want success in your life? What is your why? Like their driving course, that was pretty much pushing you every single day. Because I understand you went through this journey. You’re surrounded by great people who know where they’re going, but what was your driving force?

Anthony: My driving force back then was just to be the best and obviously as you begin to age and learn more, that driving force begins to change. I feel like my driving force then was a very greedy driving force and it was selfish and it didn’t get me far. And I had an epiphany where I had to change that. By 2019 last year, I felt like I lost everything and I just had to do a lot of self-reflection and my driving force is what I do is going to impact the people around. What I do is going to impact my future family. What I do is going to create future success and what I do is going to set up the next person that partners with us to have more success than I did when I first started. So instead of thinking about me, I think about how can I better serve the newest person? How can I better serve the people around me and how can I better serve my future? I think that is definitely the driving force that like gets me going every single day for my business.

Ryan:​Bro. That is so huge because from a macro perspective, when you look at every successful company around the world, that is their same driving force. If, for example, we look at Amazon, it’s not the Jeff Bezos company. No, they’re making products for every person in America. It’s about helping others. Or if you look at any other company that’s out there, if you look at let’s say Facebook, for example, or an Instagram, it’s not about Mark Zuckerberg. It’s about, Hey, let us have a platform where we could communicate with our friends and our family. So, it’s about others. I feel like that’s a foundational principle for success, no matter what you pursue, if you’re only focusing on yourself, you can only get so far. But if you’re focusing on giving back to others, that’s where exponential growth happens.

Ad: This is exactly the kind of topic that we’re constantly talking about in our Facebook community, the home-based business community. It can be really hard to find a community of like-minded people who are working towards similar goals. If you want to join the conversation there, it’s absolutely free. So, head over to ryanallenbell.com/community and click the join button.

Anthony: I remember when I was playing soccer for orange County and the coach pulls me out and he says, this will forever stick with me. And he says, I don’t care how good you are, but if you can’t help the people around you, then I can easily replace you. He says, by becoming a better player, ask yourself this question is how can you help the players around you become a better player?

Ryan: Wow.

Anthony: It’s not about me being a better player. It’s about me being a better player and inspiring them to be a better player. And that was like another, yeah.

Ryan:​See, that principle is so true even in sports, man. I study a lot of like world-class athletes and they think the same as fortune 500 CEOs. There’s so many similarities and same with military. Man, like your parents, like those thought patterns and behaviors and habits carry into sports and the same thought patterns and behaviors carry into business. Man, I love it. I love seeing all the similarities. So, let’s talk about your future vision. Where do you see yourself going from here? You’re obviously you’re having success running a business. You do online marketing. You’re impacting people all over the world. So, what is your future vision from this point? For like, where do you see yourself taking your business and taking yourself for let’s say the next five year?

Anthony: So, then the next five years, I definitely want to be a phenomenal leader, a better leader with my organization and building better relationships with people on my team and people who aren’t even a part of my team, just building relationships with them. And to carry on for five years, like for the next five years is to create a legacy inside our industry to say that because of you and what you have provided and the tools and resources that you showed me, I was able to do this for my family. I was able to put my son through college or I was able to quit my job. So,it’s like my next five years is obviously for me is to create a huge legacy for me and my future family. But it’s also to show people a better way as well. A thousand percent. And as this business begins to grow, I think it’s often about like other avenues. I don’t really know about that right now because I haven’t met those people yet, but I do have an idea of what I want to do with like real estate. But as of right now, it’s just creating a legacy inside of this industry and to impact as many people as possible because by impacting more people in a very genuine way, it’s going to bring in more success for me and my future family. And I just think that’s the most important thing.

Ryan:​Do you think you wouldn’t have had a desire to build a legacy if you didn’t go from only focusing on you to focusing on others, that big shift that you had?

Anthony: Yeah. If, and that’s the thing it’s like being an employee, working time for money. Like I remember working at a job and when someone got promoted, people around him would get upset because they weren’t the ones that get promoted. And my dad just experienced this here. He’s like a big superintendent for the San Bernardino school district. He’s making well over a quarter million a year and when he got promoted, people were being snakes. People were not happy with his results. So it just shows you like in the nine to five world in the corporate America world, as it begins to succeed, like people don’t congratulate you for what you’ve done, but in entrepreneurship and network marketing or having a home based business, the community that you’re a part of, they want to see you win. And I remember Colton sharing with me. He says, I don’t care. He was like, yes, you’d have direct sales. Like you have there, you can get direct sales, but help your team get direct, close. Help your team get on the leadership boards. And when he shared that, I was like, you know what? You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. You’re absolutely right. It’s time to be less selfish and start focusing them on them have way more.

Ryan:​Boom. I love it. It’s the same principle your coach told you to man, just help your team win.

Anthony: Yeah, Exactly.

Ryan:​I love it. So, I understand one of your biggest strengths is building relationships. And I want to dive deep into relationships for a moment. Maybe you could share with us. What is the importance of building relationships in a business environment, in a home-based business?

Anthony: What’s the benefits of building a relationship?

Ryan:​Yeah. Why is building relationships so important when it comes to building a home-based business?

Anthony: I think it’s important because he creates retention. And by creating a retention, it’s going to grow your network. It’s going to grow your network on the by having that retention and building those relationships with them. They’re going to begin to do the exact same thing and duplicate, just being genuine, being a friend and building that relationship with those people that you don’t even know yet.

Ryan:​A hundred percent, bro. I want to go back to what you said, it’s building your network. And I feel once people can understand the power of their network, they could realize the potential of their future. For example, we’ve all heard that quote like your net worth is your network, right? Your network is your network. Talk about the power of building a successful network? Talking about the power of building a great network and kind of what it’s done for you and where you could see a great network impact in someone else’s life?

Anthony: So, I think this is like recently moving to Miami, that’s where I’ve been tested because living in California, you knew everybody, people would say, Hey, he has this like great thing that you can be a part of, but coming out here and knowing nobody building relationships is super important. It’s just being a friend, turning that stranger into the friend. And then eventually that friend’s going to become a family member because they’re going to join our organization. So, by being out here, it’s just giving people a lot of compliments, being more in them. Instead of being interesting and detaching yourself from the outcome has been super important. It’s not about the money. I don’t look at a person as a dollar sign, look at them as just a genuine friend. Because if, once that, once you begin to shift that, I think that’s what I’ve done. Probably like a year and a half ago, a year ago, it’s completely shifted everything. The impact of building your network is just when you help one person and not just helping that one person, you’re blessing their network as well. You’re blessing their friends. You’re blessing their family members have an opportunity that they probably never heard of just for that one individual.

Ryan:​Wow. Yeah, bro because you came from California to Miami only with your mindset and your skills, and you’re still able to have success, bro because you have that success mindset and you understand how to build a relationship. You understand how to make friends. You understand how to build your network and you just pretty much you’re creating exactly what you created out here in California, but over there in Miami, bro.

Anthony: Yeah. And real quick, like I had this person, her boyfriend come over to our house to check out what we have going on and everything. And she kept saying, I can’t wake up the next day without having this. I can’t wake up the next day not knowing that I don’t have this opportunity. And in my mind I was like, Oh, I just want to close you so hard right now because you’re telling me you want this but that was like, you got the left side and the right side of the shoulder, you got the devil and the angel speaking to you, the devil was saying close her bro. Let’s get the money, whatever. The Angels, you know what I mean? The relationship is more important, whenever she’s ready and she’s not pressured to do anything, she’s going to do it. She was over here last week and she just sent me a text today. Hey, I’m ready to get started. Call me at 8:00 PM tonight.

Ryan:​Wow.

Anthony: And they just came, bro. So, it’s just detaching yourself from the outcome and just coming from a flow state. So yeah. I just want to touch that real quick.

Ryan:​I think that’s actually one of the biggest things you said on this whole entire podcast is making the relationships way more important than the money. And I feel like for those listening, if you guys could grasp that small idea that will transform your life forever. It’s if you just focus on the relationships in your life, but money is going to come organically. That’s just how life works and you’re literally seeing that for yourself right now, bro.

Anthony: Yeah.

Ryan:​It’s insane. Okay. So, since this is the home-based business podcast, I have a belief and my belief is that the only way to achieve true freedom is for us to future-proof our income by creating a plan to quit our jobs and start a home-based business. And I want to ask you the same question just to get your perspective. And I’ve had both sides, both answers from people on the show, but I want to have your perspective. So, do you believe that the only way to achieve true freedom is to future-proof your income by quitting your job and starting a home-based business and why?

Anthony: So, I think it’s very smart to future-proof your income by creating a plan to quit your job and starting a home-based business because throughout this whole coronavirus experience, there isn’t job security. So many people file for unemployment, so many people. Coronaviruses a pandemic but I think the real pandemic is people are financially stressed. Anxiety is going up. Domestic violence is going up. Suicide is going up. There’s a lot of problems out there because of the financial world, because people can’t go to work and they’re stressed and their environment is getting the short end of the stick. So, to do a home-based business, by being a part of something, that’s going to make a huge impact. It’s smart to do. And when you look at the people inside our organization, you got real estate agents that can’t sell homes because nobody has got money or money to buy homes right now because they’re living in scarcity. And by joining our community, they were able to make an extra, I heard this guy, man, an extra $9,000 a month his first month. You have all the gyms and fitness industries closing. And many people aren’t able to go back to work, got fired. You know what, California right now is closed right now too. And there was this girl in our organization. She was a yoga instructor. She quit because she wasn’t getting paid. Dated what we were doing and was able to make an extra $3,000 her first month. So, she doubled her yoga income. That just shows you the power of having a home-based business-like social media and Instagram are absolutely free. Your phone. I don’t know your phone bill. My phone bill when it was just me and myself before I had my family on it, my phone bill was like a hundred bucks. I spent a hundred bucks on my phone to have a free Instagram app and a Facebook app to create a home-based business, to connect with, not even thousands, millions of people all over the world to introduce what we have going on. That’s an absolutely no brainer because when all these businesses are closed, just going and winning these last three months and all these businesses are closed, all these industries are shutting down. The only people who are truly working are healthcare workers and union workers. The non-essentials beauty, whatever fitness they’re not working. So, it is absolutely smart to partner with something that’s recession proof, but getting a recession proof home-based business to future-proof your income to create a plan to quit your job.

Ryan:​Well, bro. That was perfect, man. That is so insane and I agree with you 1000%. I agree, job security isn’t true security building a home-based business is the only way to have true security because you work for yourself. As long as you’re working for yourself, you’re controlling your destiny. And a smart, one of my mentors said, one of the intelligent things that we could be doing right now is focusing on a secondary source of income because we don’t know how stable our current income is at a job, but it’s literally intelligent to create a secondary source of income and it doesn’t have to replace our income , you could just supplement it. But doing that, you’re pretty much taking care of your family. You’re making sure your family is safe and secure and it sets you up for a better future. All of that, man, my audience, these guys really care about having success in a home-based business or they’re in a position where they’re really considering starting their own home-based business. So, from your experience, what would you say is the best advice you could give to these people to just help them start off on the right foot and to continue gaining success in their life. That they’re already building a business right now.

Anthony: So, the best advice to give to the listeners to build a successful home-based business is to find the people that have the results, one. Two, see what their system is like. And three, see what solutions that they’re solving and when you begin to figure these things out and you see what’s going on and hundreds of people like in our community, hundreds of people are having success. Why would you not do it? So, if you have a job and you want to start a home-basedbusiness and you’re scared, you’re going to forever be scared by just working at your job and not even starting. I remember when I first moved to Miami, when I first moved to Miami and my dad told me in life, you don’t get what you deserve. Okay? So, you don’t get what you deserve, you get what is negotiated and earned. So that was the biggest when he told me that I was like, that just lit a light bulb. Moving forward with my home-based business, in order for my home-based business to, you know, grow, I don’t deserve the money that comes in. I earned and negotiated what is coming in to my home-based business. And I think that you live this life of you deserve everything. Nope. You don’t deserve anything. You have to negotiate it and earn it yourself by taking that risk. Moving out to Miami was an absolute risk. I was scared. I had a lot of fear, but when my dad said that you don’t get what you deserve to get what was negotiated and earned. I was like, you just made this whole journey so much better with that small line before I hit the airplane. And from that moment forward, even being in a home-based business, sometimes we’re scared. Even in being a home-based business, sometimes just, I left everything in California to come here and Miami is not cheap. So, I was fearful. I was scared. I was living in scarcity before I came, but my dad said that line. I was like, you know what? You’re absolutely right. I need to negotiate and earn so I can get the things that I want. And if you’re living in scarcity, even if you’re not in a home-based business, you’ll never get anything. So, negotiate and get when you are earned. And yeah, you’ll live this life of fulfillment and financial and time freedom,

Ryan:​Boom, bro. Earned, not given. I couldn’t have said it any better than you, man. That is so perfect. Alright. So, the way I want to end, I’m a huge believer in quotes. And I believe a quote can really impact someone’s life at a particular time in their life. So, what is your favorite quote or a quote that’s really impacted your life? I know you just shared the one that your dad shared with you, but what is your favorite quote that you want to share with us that’s really impacted you?

Anthony: So, my favorite quote is probably going to have to be come from like a scripture. When I was in high school, it was like, if you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful. But I think where I’m at now, it’s let me pull it up for you real quick. You have not because you do not ask. Not what that means is you think your mind is like a jar and you have all these ideas, but you don’t put it out there. You have not because you ask not. So,if what I’ve been really good at lately is just prayer and journaling and I write down what I want every single day. And I pray on it every single day, because these are the things that I want to bring into my life. Before those is, if you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful. I have that grit. I have that work ethic. Now I need to get dive deeper into my spiritual faith. So, for me right now is you have not because you ask not getting deep into visualization and faith is super important to me right now and by journaling and asking and praying on it every single day and I think it just goes back to like my quote right now. Because by doing that on a day-to-day basis, I’m being crystal clear about what I want and when I think it, and I live in that moment and I may not have an hour tomorrow, but I know for a fact that I’m just bringing it closer every single day.

Ryan:​Amen, bro. Amen. All of it. Anthony, you have such an amazing story. And I know I am even impacted and inspired by hearing your story just because it comes down to mindset. And I know the people listen today. That’s really, what’s going to be affected is like their mindset is forever going to be transformed because of your experience. So, the way I want to end for those who want to get in touch with Anthony, what is the best way for people to reach out to you, man?
