The longest you sit, the easier it is to sit. In this powerful launch episode of the weekly Do Better podcast, Anthony reveals the one simple card that forced him to change his life: High Five a Stranger.

We dive deep into Anthony’s personal journey of radical honesty—admitting alcohol was killing his relationships—and the resilience it took to rebuild after four back surgeries. This isn't just a motivational talk; it's a veteran, 40-year-old college student, and father sharing the micro-actions he uses daily to fight complacency.

In This Episode:

• The terrifying true story of the Walmart greeter high-five that launched the Do Better brand.
• How the science of connection proves small acts of kindness are the biggest defense against loneliness.
• The "6:13 AM wake-up call" that proved change is possible, no matter how far gone you feel.

Today’s card: High Five a Stranger. Sounds dumb, feels awkward—and that’s exactly the point. A high five cuts through the invisible walls we all put up. I’ve seen it shift the whole energy—whether it was in the army, at my kids’ games, or standing in line at Casey’s.

Maybe it’s the only positive touch that person gets all week. So quit overthinking it. Put your hand up. Make it weird. High five a stranger. Do Better. I love you.
