Summary
In this special episode of Money Mondays, Dan Fleyshman sits down with entrepreneur Vince Ricci for a powerful conversation on making money, investing wisely, and creating lasting impact. Vince shares how he built Hubbell Studio into a premier full-service production company by focusing on elite service, loyalty, and long-term relationships. He also breaks down his approach to scaling brands, spotting real estate opportunities, and making investment decisions by betting on the person behind the business.
The conversation goes far beyond business. Vince opens up about discipline, self-investment, fatherhood, pressure, and what it means to stay ready when life gets hard. He explains the mindset behind his “pull the trigger” philosophy and why decisive action, resilience, and personal accountability have shaped both his career and his life.
On the charity side, Vince shares the growth of Trina’s Kids Foundation, from helping local families in the neighborhood around Hubbell Studio to creating large-scale toy drives and impact events across multiple cities. This episode is full of lessons on leadership, legacy, service, and building something that matters.
