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.
Episodes
Insurance might cover the visit, but is it covering the care?
In this episode, Dr. Mike Aguino breaks down what really happens behind the scenes of physical therapy clinics, from insurance reimbursements and burnout to why great patient outcomes often come down to education, movement, and accountability.
We also dive into the future of rehab, the gap between physical therapy and personal training, and what it takes to...
A strong marriage isn't built by simply staying together. It's built by continuing to notice, communicate, and choose each other even after the honeymoon phase is over.
In this episode, we break down the red flags that can damage a relationship, why date nights and personal space still matter, and how trust, fairness, and accountability can keep small problems from becoming permanent ones.
Your relationship deserves t...
When a client says, "You're too expensive," the worst thing you can do is lower your price.
In this episode, Anthony and Yao break down how to handle price objections, communicate value instead of cost, and attract clients who respect what you bring to the table. They also discuss scarcity, free work, follow-ups, and why confidence in your pricing starts long before the sales call.
What's the biggest pricing objection...
The biggest lie you can tell yourself is that someone else is responsible for your life.
Your environment matters. The people around you matter. But at the end of the day, you're the one making the decisions.
In this episode, we break down what it really means to be "self-made," why your circle shapes your future, how guilt keeps people trapped, and why taking ownership is the first step toward freedom.
If your life st...
Your life can change because of one conversation.
For Shane Wend, it started with a simple comment and became a lifelong commitment to health, discipline, and helping others perform at their best.
In this episode, we talk about building confidence through action, taking risks as an entrepreneur, hiring the right people, and why your audience matters more than your service.
What's one decision that completely changed th...
You can't fix what you refuse to look at.
Checking your bank account, tracking your spending, and knowing where your money goes sounds basic. But awareness is where financial accountability starts.
It doesn't matter how much you make if your lifestyle grows faster than your income. More money won't fix habits you refuse to control.
Do you actually know where your money went this month?
Accountability is leverage.

Everyone wants to become a trillionaire.
Almost nobody wants to pay the price.
Extreme success demands extreme sacrifice. It costs time, comfort, relationships, and years of relentless focus that most people will never see.
In this episode, we break down what it really takes to build at the highest level, why mission comes before comfort, and the trade-offs that come with chasing something extraordinary.
Would you be wi...
Most people chase money while neglecting the one thing that makes earning it possible.
Your health isn't a luxury. It's your foundation.
If your energy is low, your sleep is broken, and your habits are falling apart, your business, career, and relationships will eventually follow.
In this episode, we talk about why fitness is leverage, how small daily habits build discipline, and why waiting for a health scare is the w...
Most people don't have a pricing problem. They have a value problem.
If your first instinct is to discount, you're training people to buy based on price instead of results.
Free work can build trust. But if you keep giving away what works, don't be surprised when people stop valuing it.
In this episode, we break down when free is smart, when it's self-sabotage, and why authority beats discounts every time.
What's one th...
Most people think accountability means admitting when you're wrong. It doesn't.
Real accountability is taking ownership and changing your behavior. That's where growth happens.
In this episode, we discuss why accountability is leverage, how boundaries create healthier relationships, why some people stay stuck in the same patterns, and how leaders can create stronger teams through clear expectations and communication.

Hiring your friends feels like loyalty until the first time you need to correct them, cut their hours, or fire them. We talk through the real cost of mixing friendship and payroll, why it almost always backfires, and how we learned to set rules that protect the business without treating people like robots. If you’ve ever felt guilty for being “too blunt” as a boss, this conversation will reset how ...
Blame feels like relief for about five seconds, then it quietly steals your power. Yaw and I are taking this show in a sharper direction by focusing on accountability and how personal responsibility creates real leverage, in your business, your relationships, and your mindset.
We start with a blunt leadership lesson from entrepreneurship: hiring friends because you like them is not a strategy. Whe...
A birthday can be a party, or it can feel like a receipt that shows exactly where your time went. That tension is where we start. I’m turning 36, and I’m honest about the part I hate: birthdays remind me that time is moving, goals still feel far away, and “later” is not a strategy. From there, Yaw and I get into the mindset that actually helps me: urgency without recklessness, speed without c...
Most raise advice I hear is built on hope: work hard, wait long enough, and eventually somebody notices. I don’t buy that.
I believe if you want more money, you need leverage and leverage comes from measurable value. In this episode, I break down a cleaner, tougher, and more practical approach to salary growth. I talk about how to connect your work directly to business growth, how to think in ROI, and w...
In this episode, I sit down with Andrew to hear the real story behind building a martial arts studio that has survived for 31 years. We talk about the setbacks that shaped him first, from pursuing criminal justice and trying multiple times to become a police officer, to finally reaching a breaking point where he had to ask himself: What do I actually control, and what do I do next?
That question changed everything.
We...
In this episode, I talk about how you can learn more about leadership from one tough question than from a hundred motivational quotes: would you keep this employee, or fire them?
I put myself on the spot with ten rapid scenarios that every manager eventually faces, from “I’m late again” to missed deadlines, sloppy follow through, blame shifting, and even walking out early because the day&rsq...
Yaw and I break down the reality of entrepreneurship and the loneliness that can come with it. Even when you’re surrounded by people and things look like they’re working, it can still feel like you’re carrying everything on your own.
We talk about building the right team, understanding that not everyone will care the way you do, and how to find the right people around you who actually challenge you ...
Two brothers working under the same roof sounds simple… until you hear what actually powers it. On this episode of The Anthony Amen Show, Anthonytalks with guests Devin and Tyler about the shared family code that shaped who they are today—built on hard work, consistency, and refusing to quit on yourself.
Anthony dives into the defining moments that influenced them, from watching their dad come home exhau...
I’ve been thinking a lot about how the college question was never really about education—it’s about outcomes. Growing up, I constantly heard, “What school are you going to?” like there wasn’t even another path. Now I’m starting to challenge that script by actually looking at real numbers, real stories, and what a degree really gets you in 2026.
On one hand, I can see what col...
Credit card debt feels normal… until you run the numbers.
In this episode, we break down the “money math” that determines whether you build wealth or stay stuck paying interest. From 22% APR and compounding debt to balance transfers, HELOCs, and paying off high-interest debt first, this is a practical conversation about how money actually works.
We also touch on assets vs liabilities, investing, and...
