Winning podcasters—and high performers of all stripes—aren’t built on luck or Hollywood backing. They’re built on resilience, vision, and a relentless drive to keep learning and trying. In this energizing episode, Damon sits down with Tony D'Urso, business strategist, bestselling author, and host of one of the world’s biggest podcasts, to uncover what it really takes to go from zero to 50 million downloads with no radio experience and no big media machine. Tony shares his “Vision Map” eight-step framework for driving toward any goal—plus down-to-earth stories, tactical advice, and lessons learned from interviewing elite entrepreneurs and industry icons.
From why your purpose matters more than your paycheck, to tactical social media strategies, to the real secret that separates high performers from hopefuls, this episode is packed with actionable tools for anyone wanting to build something meaningful—be it a business, a podcast, or a life-changing pivot. Tony shares his mistakes, his European relationship-first mindset, and why writing down your vision might be the most powerful move you’ll ever make. To top it all off, hear how Tony pivoted from nonfiction to writing a hit fiction series—and why he believes picking up a novel might just be the recharge you need as a leader.
