Tony Grebmeier (@tonygrebmeier) is a partner and co-founder of ShipOffers and host of the Be Fulfilled podcast. Originally from Santa Cruz, California, Tony had begun a journey training for the Olympics in water polo before a knee surgery derailed his plan. During his rehabilitation, Tony would find himself addicted to pain medication and alcohol which would lead him down a dark path. Despite his eventual commercial success, he describes it as a process to hide his pain and addiction from the world. One fateful day, alone, and contemplating taking his own life, he received a phone call from a friend who would interrupt him and inadvertently change the course of his life.

Over the past 17 years, Tony and two childhood best friends have built an extremely profitable business, and Tony has used the resultant resources to spread a message of prosperity and fulfillment. He has coined the phrase, "Your Message Came From Your Mess". He leads his guidance with a singular question, "Are you willing?" Are you willing to leave "life's dumpster" behind and move forward towards what you truly want from this life. In this episode, Tony walks us through the "Smile Exercise", a part of his daily routine that facilitates his GROWTH (Gratitude, Reality, Open-mindedness, Willingness, Teachability, and ultimately his Happiness).

While honing his GROWTH philosophy, ShipOffers has become a Inc 5000 company for the past 4 years. Tony's life philosophy is centered around three fundamental principles: Chase the Wins, Study the Lessons, and Never Quit.
