From pro poker to Prodigy Personnel. From bottomed out to building a $50M firm. In this premiere episode, Angelo Pitirri opens up like never before. You’ll hear the real, gritty version of his journey: the wins, the walls, and the wake-up calls that forced him to level up—personally and professionally. From managing CRA audits and back-end chaos to honouring his sister’s legacy with a life insurance payout no one saw coming, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at the moment when betting on yourself isn’t inspirational—it’s survival. Jeff Welsh, long-time friend and fellow entrepreneur, joins Angelo for an unfiltered conversation that hits on what it means to get to neutral—to remove ego, emotion, and expectation, and just take the next right step forward. Topics Covered: Angelo’s early business mistakes—and how he bounced back. The pressure of going all-in with no fallback plan. Why neutral thinking saved his mindset. Compliance, CRA letters, and the sh*t no one prepares you forHow one conversation in Vegas changed everything. Quoting Trevor Moawad’s It Takes What It Takes, Angelo lays out the mental frameworks that helped him grow through chaos—and gives tactical advice for new founders trying to do the same. Want the book “It Takes What It Takes” but can’t afford it?
