Michaelangelo Casanova Joins The Rational Egoist for a Powerful Conversation on Entrepreneurship
On this episode, Michael Liebowitz is joined by Michaelangelo Casanova for a rich, energising discussion about what it truly means to build a life—and a business—through deliberate action and uncompromising personal agency.
Michaelangelo Casanova is an entrepreneur and life coach who has dedicated his work to helping people break out of passive living and step into purposeful creation. His approach is direct, grounded, and results-focused: the mindset of someone who believes that a fulfilled life is chosen, built, and earned through clarity and disciplined effort.
Together, Michael and Michaelangelo explore the psychology behind entrepreneurship:
why ambition requires independence, why stagnation often begins in the mind long before it shows up in results, and how a person creates momentum when the world around them rewards excuses over effort. It’s an honest conversation about responsibility, creativity, and the quiet pride that comes from building something real.
