VBL001 – Smart, Young and ‘Venturing’ Out There, with Tony Ruiz!

Something new at the Virtual Business Lifestyle blog today – my first ever audio post. Something I’ve been thinking about for a while, I must say.

I was extremely happy when I got a positive reply back from my guest today, following my request to interview him. Tony Ruiz and I actually interviewed each other for our respective blogs a week or so ago, and he got to posting his interview with me faster than a speeding bullet. Check it out, if you’re in the mood…!

As the subject of this maiden-podcast post, I picked Tony because he’s a smart, young man that is about to graduate from college in the USA, and literally has the world at his feet. He says that the idea of building something from nothing excites him more than anything he can think of. 

“It’s all about creating more time to do more things…” he says. Well, Tony – following our conversations and reading through some great material on your blog, VentureMixx.com, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that you’ll get plenty done, buddy!

What I really liked about Tony’s outlook on life, business and success in general was his ability, even at such a young age, to come across as a very smart person. He really sounds as if he’s been ‘in the game’ for a while, and not someone that it just about to start playing it..!!

    Hey it’s Tony!

    Great interview guys, I agree with you Chris its awesome to see people like Tony getting out of college knowing what they are going to do next, with passion and also focus I want to say, still there are probably more out there coming out just wanting to get a job and live a typical life.

    But anyway great tips and Tony keep hustling brother you got it pretty much figured out!

    • Hi Wilson

      It’s been a while since I’ve seen you here, buddy – thought you had forgotten about us!

      Yep, Tony has a great, positive outlook. I feel he’ll be running with the big boys a lot faster than most!

      How are things with creating that lifestyle you were going for? Your blog looks great, man.

      Chris

      Glad you enjoyed the interview Wilson. I had a blast chatting with Chris. He is definitely good people.

      • Tony

        I love that phrase ‘good people’…!

        Thanks again for making the time, and for showing enough interest to also want to interview me, too! It was real fun, and I have a feeling will not be the only thing we end up working on together… Our paths are going to cross quite regularly, I believe!

        Keep it real, buddy.

        Chris

    This is a great interview filled with much inspiration and good energy. Tony is well on his way to great success. From what I feel from this first interview, a big part of Tony’s success will come from the sincertiy in his words and his natural courage resulting in excellent leadership abilites in the future for many inspired people to follow in.

    • Hi Baker

      Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it.

      Yes, your observations are spot on. Tony does has great focus in being ‘real’ and in being sincere in what he is setting out to achieve. I look forward to a follow-up interview a few years from now, when he’s on the cover of ‘Entrepreneur’ magazine! :-)

      Stick around, we’ve got lots more great stuff coming in the next few weeks here on the blog.

      Best,
      Chris

  4. Awesome awesome interview! I had the opportunity to meet Tony in person at ASU last week while I was in Phoenix. We had a great convo about ideas and sharing our stories! Tony is definitely ahead of the game and has a lot going for him! Enjoy the last two weeks before graduation Tony!

    • Hey Monique

      Indeed, Tony has the world at his feet. I immediately noticed certain sparks of genius in him, and loved doing this, my first interview for VBL, with him.

      More interviews coming up in the future, too!

      Best, Chris

    • Tony Ruiz says:
