Break, Build, Become: The Anthony Amunategui Way




Embracing Harmony and Growth: My Insights from the Podcast Interview with Anthony Amunategui

Transparency and Thoroughness in Business

As a host, I had the pleasure of speaking with Anthony Amunategui, an entrepreneur who lives and breathes empathy, communication, and growth, on my recent podcast episode. His wise words left an impact, especially his views on the importance of slowing down, investing time in people, and being meticulous in all operations for businesses to succeed.

Anthony emphasized the need for transparency and thoroughness in all aspects of a company. It resonated with me when he mentioned how skipping over any steps in the process can lead to discontent, confusion, and inefficiencies. He compared these skipped steps to a skipped change order, which would lead to work not being paid for, creating frustration, and failing to close out a project. The resulting misalignment would have significant impacts, more costly than taking the time to slow down and ensure everyone understands their role.

The Importance of Clear Delegation and Mentorship

Listening to Anthony, it reminded me of my own experiences at jobs I enjoyed - jobs with a clear order of operations and room to work hard and grow. A lack of clear delegation is something I've noticed in leadership roles. It can lead to a disconnect between leaders and employees. Having leaders who serve as mentors rather than just giving instructions makes a significant difference.

A Universal Understanding of God

Moreover, our conversation led to an insightful reflection on spirituality and religion. Anthony's experiences traveling the world and interacting with different religions were thought-provoking. He talked about his search for a universal understanding of God and how all religions seem to be grappling with describing something that may be too big to capture. It made me ponder on how we humans strive to manipulate our environment, bending it to our desires, instead of finding harmony with the natural order.

As Anthony aptly put it, "Every religion I've ever been part of or learned about, they all sound a bit like two-year-olds describing algebra. Not that I don't honor what they're doing - it does feel like God is a much bigger idea than any of us can actually capture in the words that we write. But there's something in each word that's written about it that I can hear God as well."

Service-Oriented Success

Towards the end of our talk, the conversation shifted towards service. Anthony emphasized the importance of doing great work and serving others above personal desires, such as seeking fame or wealth. He suggested that genuine success comes from aligning one's work with a purpose that transcends selfish interests.

In Anthony's words, "If the work that you do is guided by helping others, shine a light on them. It will ultimately always resonate well with an audience and as you grow your audience, all that other stuff will come into fruition."


Discovering and Nurturing Our God-Given Talents

As a podcast host, Anthony's words left me inspired. His perspective underlined my motivation to engage with my audience, continue my mission, and take pride in the work I do. It reinforced my belief that we are all here with a God-given talent, and it's our responsibility to discover and nurture it.

To summarize, the podcast interview with Anthony Amunategui was a profound dive into the importance of clear communication, empathy, spirituality, and service-oriented work. His insights serve as a reminder that slowing down, investing time in people, and striving for harmony can bring about genuine growth and success.

Eugenics on The East Coast

The influence of eugenics on the east coast By Samantha Aiko Introduction  Eugenics was a movement that began in the early 20th century based on the premise that specific groups of people were of a master race. This idea was first popularized by Francis Galton, an Englishman influenced by his cousin Charles Darwin's theories on natural selection. He believed that genius could be passed down through genes, but he also believed that negative traits could be controlled and eliminated from society. Eugenicists around the world took up this mantle, including America where eugenicists like Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller Jr funded institutions dedicated to eradicating diseases like mental illness from our gene pool altogether. Their efforts resulted in over 60% of institutionalized Americans being sterilized against their will - with many believing it would prevent them from passing down mental illness or chronic disease to their children." Eugenics was a movement that began ...
