As evidenced in their own lives; inspiring and motivating news is usually bad news turned good. The hurdles, obstacles and setbacks that people have faced but used to fuel their passions and purpose are often where you find the gems. Welcome to Livin’ Good Currency where our hosts Tony and Tobias converse with some of the most inspiring and insightful people in the world on how they discovered their purpose, pursued their passions and overcame a myriad of obstacles
Our hosts are living examples of this. Tobias Tubbs who was given a double life sentence without the possibility of parole for a crime he didn’t commit, intentionally chose to serve those 28 years as an opportunity to be a light where darkness otherwise prevailed. He became an expert in mindfulness, conflict resolution, art/gardening, spirituality, philosophy, and natural healing arts to positively impact the lives of thousands of young men and women.
Tony Samadani seemingly came from the other side of that coin as an entertainment lawyer. When he was struck with a debilitating disease and health scare, Tony needed to discover a path back to health. This process allowed him to go on to inspire many lives in rediscovering their own health and living a life of purpose. One fateful day brought these two worlds together.

The Lesson:
Perhaps it's no surprise that professional acting takes a toll on one's emotions, but taking over the roles of emotionally-troubled characters is all the more challenging. What can professional actors share to others about confronting despair of the past, gratitude for the present, and anxiety of the future?
Notable Excerpt:
"I heard this once, I made friends with my anxiety and turned it into my engine. But you have to be careful because it can sometimes overpower and then worry will steal (your energy). Anxiety and anxiousness is something I've always worked with to move myself forward... When you're in a more vulnerable place, gratitude can hit you like a Mack truck—the attitude of gratitude is the key to daily living (or at least) it certainly helps when you get off track."
