Episode 70: Have you ever imagined trading a nine-to-five job for your passion? Our guest for today did just that. Richard Di Biase and David Moskowitz sit down with Anthony Ricciardi who left a career in finance to becoming a world renowned artist. A former Division 1 baseball player turned finance graduate, Anthony boldly traded his finance career to become a full-time artist. His story is an invitation to anyone who's ever dreamt of pursuing their passion but hesitated due to fear or societal pressure.
This episode uncovers Anthony's fascinating journey - from baseball fields to finance, and finally the world of art. We learn about the challenges he faced in his transition and how he navigated them - the courage he harnessed, the risks he took, and the resilience that kept him going. Anthony's narrative goes beyond the clichéd 'starving artist' trope, shedding light on the entrepreneurial side of pursuing art and illustrating the power of creativity in breaking away from norms.
Towards the end, we hear Anthony reflect on his achievements - the highs, the lows, and everything in between. He shares his plans to open an art gallery, reiterating the significance of following one's heart. But it's not all about chasing dreams; Anthony also underscores the importance of self-care in sustaining an entrepreneurial journey. If you've ever thought about venturing into entrepreneurship or are already on the path, this conversation is packed with insights that will inspire and encourage you to make your dreams a reality. So why wait? Tune in and let Anthony's story inspire you to take a leap of faith towards your passion!
