Summary

In today’s episode, I sit down with James "Amo" Amorosi, a leader in private equity and the founder of The Legacy Fund. From his early days as a fighter in Japan to navigating the high-stakes world of hedge funds, Amo shares how his journey shaped his approach to wealth, mentorship, and purpose. We talk about his mission to help athletes and entertainers build financial stability beyond their careers, the importance of mindset shifts, and the role of discipline in both martial arts and investing. He breaks down why financial literacy is key and how he’s creating opportunities that go beyond money to impact lives.
