5 Skills I Developed That Changed My Life
In this solo episode, Tony flies solo (with Mini Mariana silently judging from the background) and dives into the 5 most powerful skills he’s developed over the last decade—skills that have radically transformed his mindset, relationships, career, and health.
From mastering communication and emotional regulation, to understanding the underrated power of personal branding, self-auditing, and simply taking imperfect action—this episode is packed with tools you can start using immediately to level up your life.
Whether you're deep in your fitness journey, building better mental habits, or trying to grow in your career or personal life, these are the skills that matter more than any hack or shortcut you’ll find online. Plus, drop your own life-changing skill in the Spotify comments—Tony’s reading them all.
