From Corporate to Creative: Campfire Lessons for LEADERS w/ Tony Martignetti (E127)

In a world that often equates success with titles and achievements, true fulfillment comes from something deeper. In this episode, Tony Martignetti shares how stepping away from corporate life helped him rediscover his inner light, embrace creativity, and pursue a more meaningful definition of success.

Tony explores the concept of illumination, which he describes as the next evolution of inspiration. He reflects on the moments in his life that dimmed his inner light and shares the journey he undertook to recognize, reclaim, and fully express his inner light and purpose.

As the conversation unfolds, Tony discusses his transition from a successful corporate career to becoming a coach, author, and speaker. He also shares the motivation behind his book Climbing the Right Mountain and explores how we can embrace creativity in different areas of our lives.
