Episode 105-Anthony Flynn on the “people side” of business -Building My Legacy with Lois Sonstegard

Welcome to Episode 105 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with Anthony Flynn who lives up to the name of his company, The Amazing CEO. Anthony is, in his words, “a first generation everything” — college graduate, entrepreneur, CEO. An advisor to CEOs, author and sought-after speaker, Anthony also holds a master’s degree in religion. He talks with us about how he has been able to bring together his business endeavors and his core values … or, as he explains, to “live more for purpose and let profit be a byproduct of purpose, not the other way around.”

With more people — especially millennials — hungry for something that combines these two worlds, Anthony’s approach of putting people at the center of his consulting work is something that we can all benefit from today. In his work with professional athletes, Anthony finds a parallel with business executives who, particularly at the end of their career, need to pivot to something entirely different. It’s a valuable discussion for anyone facing changes in their career or starting to build a legacy.
