I love how in this he spoke of the idea of people having trials in life and how they essentially turn trials into super powers or at least that's how I interpret it. With the mindset that Nick Santonastasso articulates from his personal story it shows the unlimited power we all have. Nicks story reminds me a lot of David Goggin's a former seal who turned a rough child hood into a career of much distinguish. Stories like nicks make me so excited for life and really allow me to embrace the suck in a sense and grow and turn my downfalls or shortcomings into my superpowers if yopu will.

Definitely a Sicilian fighter, they never stay down, they're tough as nails. Mr. Santonastasso is an inspiration of which we all can relate to some extent. God bless that man.
The podcast was a breath of fresh air from the, " I was living in a van last week and now I own 500 units, all in a year."

Man this was one of the best podcasts yet I think. This actually made me reflect on a lot that I’m going through in my life right now.
This made me ask, “What’s my excuse?”
Thanks BiggerPockets for this!

I shared this podcast with a couple of my closest friends. The mindset of embracing the « how » and rejecting the idea of not being able to achieve something, is a rule that we can apply to anything. It was so inspiring! definitely one of the best podcasts i have listened to.

Nick's approach of aggressive goals and finding the CANs instead of dwelling on the CAN'Ts is incredible. Podcast episodes like this that shift perspectives and have so much positivity are absolute gold for the soul. Seriously life-changing stuff.
Thank you guys so much for having Nick on to share his story!
What an amazing individual! Super inspiring! If found this to be so valuable that I have offered to pay my kiddos $20 to listen to this episode and $10 more if they write a report on it..
Thank you so much for having Nick on and thank you, Nick, for sharing your story.

Definitely one of my favorite episodes thus far. Wow! Absolutely awe-inspiring. Nick really digs deep and demonstrates the "CAN" perspective on life. Gold nuggets throughout the entire episode.
Although this episode is not directly about real-estate investing, it will help you establish a successful mindset that can be applied to every aspect of your life.
Thank you @Brandon Turner and the entire BP team for thinking outside the box and bringing Nick to the podcast! Nick is a true hero!

So thankful for people here sharing their wisdom. I've seen first hand what positive mindset can do-- For action and conquering fear.
Changing my friend circle or at least diluting the "you can't do that" folks with positive "you can do anything" folks has also made a huge difference. It's sort of nuts how much the mind alters how you go about taking action.
Thank you Nick and all for sharing his story with us!

The human mind is amazing and Nick's story clearly demonstrates this. What a fantastic example of having the mental strength to remove externally imposed limitations - Nick sets the bar high and goes for it.
Great podcast and definitely increased the flame under my backside!

@Mindy Jensen, I listened to the podcast yesterday. I told Nick's story to my kids at the dinner table tonight. Kids are 17, 9 and 7. What an inspiration. Nick, thanks man.
