In This Episode:
The guys welcome in Tony Giovaniello to the Richest Men in Town conversation and he shares a powerful life story of gifts, grit, love, and faith. There are two kinds of people in life. There are builders and there are murmurers. Have no doubt. Tony G. is a builder. He is a builder of community, a builder of people, and a builder of relationships. He shares moments where doors were opened to live into his gifts and now, looking back with his wife Kelly by his side, he sees the abundant life that he has been blessed with. Enjoy the throwback conversation about Sting Ray bikes with banana seats and kids fishing on the pier until dark. His story starts with a family of 6 in a 750 square foot house and working in the family fish market. From that foundation, Tony’s world of possibilities opens up beyond any of his wildest dreams. This episode is about trust over fear and a little gravel tossed in the mud along the way. Keep going brother!
