Are The Walls You've Built Your Own Barriers To Happiness?

Friends, you hear me say it every week; It’s not what happens to us, but how we react to it that makes the difference. I am joined today by another remarkable guest that will share his story of resilience, transformation and personal growth. Through his personal story, and a bit of my own, we’ll explore how we often build walls that become barriers to our own success and life fulfillment, and more importantly, how to go about tearing them down.

Joining me today is Tony Schmaltz, a man who has faced adversity head-on and emerged stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever. Tony's journey is awe-inspiring. Through marriage he became an instant father, faced financial hardships with his wife, struggled with unhealthy familial boundaries and yet, through it all, he discovered the power of mindset and attitude in achieving success and happiness.

Tony's book, 'Wake the Bleep Up,' is a game-changer. It's all about uncluttering the mind, breaking free from bad habits, and finding true fulfillment. Tony's insights on vulnerability, compassion, and the importance of positive relationships are lessons we can all learn from.

In this week's episode, Tony shares how we can all overcome life's challenges, adopt a positive mindset, and make lasting changes in our lives. Get ready to be inspired, uplifted, and motivated to take charge of your own journey!

Who is Tony Schmaltz?

Tony is a husband, father, author, speaker, trainer, coach, fisherman and all around Schmaltzy guy. He puts his family first and has for the more than 21 years that he and his wife Anika have been together. When he is not serving people through his speaking, coaching or training, you can find him and Markus at the Archery Range practicing or fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Spending time with his loved ones is a top priority of his. Anika and Tony have also raised two of their nieces, Stephenny and Tiffany who are now in their 20's.

His friends and colleagues know him as "Schmaltzy", a nickname that he first attained on a trip to Germany at 17 years old. The German definition of the word schmaltzy means "To be overly sappy or cheesy", like a joke is cheesy. Even though Tony takes his coaching and speaking seriously, he does bring a level of humor that makes his Schmaltzy nickname very fitting for him.
