From Whole Foods to Whole Homes: The Unfiltered Rise of a Builder Boss
Manage episode 481398747 series 3618927
In this episode, we sit down with Anthony Zotinis, the powerhouse behind Zotinis Builders. Anthony shares his extraordinary journey from the seafood section at Whole Foods to building dream homes across Long Island, Brooklyn, Staten Island—and now, Las Vegas. He opens up about getting his start in the trades through an unlikely family connection, leaving the 9–5 grind to start his own business at just 20, and how a passion for art evolved into a design-first approach to construction. He reflects on the vital importance of surrounding yourself with positive people in both life and business, and how faith in God, resilience, and bouncing back from jail and three life-threatening car crashes shaped the man and entrepreneur he is today. Anthony dives into the creative hustle behind Zotinis Builders—why lawn signs, Instagram, and hiring the right people to run his social media have been key to growing his brand. He also shares a sneak peek into his upcoming book, That Was Then, This Is Now, and the winning mindset behind his company motto: “The house always wins.” This isn’t just a builder’s story—it’s a blueprint for beating the odds, one brick at a time.
