The Anthony Amen Show
"I take accountability for everything, because it gives me something to fix. It isn't anyone's fault but my own."
That's the show.
The Anthony Amen Show is for founders, operators, and CEOs who are tired of the soft version of business advice. Some episodes are interviews — founders and operators talking about what actually worked, what nearly broke them, and what they leave off LinkedIn. Other episodes are me and Yaw — also a founder — going at the questions most podcasts won't touch honestly.
Every episode has a real belief, a real tradeoff, and a point where the belief breaks. No motivation. No top-5-tips. No safe takes.
I've built and run a premium fitness company for 9 years — through every version of hard you can imagine, and a few you can't.
Accountability is leverage. Most people won't pick it up. The ones who do are who this show is for.
New episodes Mondays.

030: Getting Mental Disabilities on The Fitness Track with Matthew Alexander
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A new approach to fitness is getting some traction. That approach is getting those with mental disabilities on the road to living happier, healthier lives.
A lot of us understand that the importance on having their loved ones, set up with OT's, Therapists, Psychiatrists and Doctors but, few realize the importance on exercise.
Matthew Alexander is the PRIME example of how and why fitness is not only important but, crucial. He was diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and Anxiety and never really understood the value of fitness himself. He basically went through life trying to figure out how to cope with it, until his family got him to start taking spin classes.
He feel in love with it and almost immediately after started feeling happier. It took him a while but, he finally realized that those classes helped keep him on the right path towards a happier life.
Why is that the case? Because serotonin and dopamine get released immediately after exercise and it started to really get him more and more focused.
The issue, was that he quickly learned, the professionals in the field didn't really understand how to train people like him. No fault of their own, but they were never taught.
So Matthew, like most entrepreneurs, took this and ran with it. He started collecting data and wanted to form his own company where he can help educate the fitness world on how to work with people from all walks of life.
Matthew is a true inspiration to those that really want to make a difference in this world.
