About this episode

Larry Weidel interviews Tony Durso about the discipline and strategies required to build billion-dollar empires.

What separates those who build billion-dollar empires from those who stay comfortable at seven figures? In this episode of Big Hitters, Larry Weidel sits down with Tony Durso, founder of the #1 internationally charted podcast and five-time Amazon bestselling author, to unpack the non-negotiable discipline behind sustained momentum—from launching a podcast with zero listeners to 50 million downloads, to scaling through systems and spreadsheets when everyone else quits. Durso reveals the ruthless reality that every elite entrepreneur he's interviewed had to work relentlessly for it, the power of focusing obsessively on one thing, and why your next level demands you stop playing small and start building like someone who can't afford to lose. If you're ready to compress your timeline and learn what actually separates winners from the rest, this is required listening.
