In this episode of TradesFormation Unlocked, host Adrian Fadini sits down with Tommy Mello—entrepreneur, visionary, and author—to unpack the mindset, strategies, and execution that turned his one-man hustle into a nationwide empire.

Tommy doesn’t sugarcoat it. Success isn’t about luck, and it’s not about waiting for the "right time." It’s about vision, grit, and relentless execution. He shares:

Why he sells what people want, not just what they need

How to overcome fear, stay optimistic, and build a high-performance culture

The role of branding, technology, and ruthless prioritization in scaling fast

Why visualization and reverse-engineering goals is the ultimate competitive edge

The power of partnerships, CFOs, and hiring the right "integrator" to fuel growth

Why top-grading your team is essential—and why loyalty without performance is sabotage

The Dream Manager concept and how it’s transforming lives inside his business

This is more than business talk—it’s a masterclass in leadership, discipline, and dreaming bigger than you ever thought possible.

If you’re ready to level up your business and your life, you won’t want to miss this conversation with one of the biggest names in the industry.

In this episode of TradesFormation Unlocked, host Adrian Fadini sits down with Australian rugby league legend Anthony Minichiello to unpack a journey that’s as much about resilience as it is about results.

From a childhood spent tearing around a chicken farm in South West Sydney to captaining the Roosters to a Grand Final win, Anthony reflects on how early exposure to risk and movement laid the groundwork for elite athleticism. But it’s what came after that truly reshaped him: a series of debilitating injuries, and the choice to reinvent himself through food, education, and leadership.

Now founder of MiniFit, Anthony is dedicated to helping kids grow up healthy and strong—while also educating business owners and teams on how nutrition, movement, and mindset impact performance. Whether you’re in the trades or on the training ground, this episode will inspire you to fuel better and focus smarter.
