Summary
Growing up immersed in the gritty reality of the drug and alcohol recovery center his father founded, Paolo DiCenzo got an early, firsthand look at what it means to fight for your life and the power of true redemption. Refusing to play it safe, he walked away from a Division 1 athletic scholarship to lean completely into his DNA as a serial entrepreneur. Today, he runs three companies—including his newly launched fashion house, DiCenzo —all while serving as the Vice President of the very same recovery center that shaped his youth. We dive into how he scaled a side hustle at 13 years old into an empire and his unshakable philosophy of never wasting a single second of the time he has been given. This is a conversation about full-throttle faith, leaving nothing on the table, and maximizing your potential. Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
