Nick Lamagna

Hey everyone, it’s Nick Lamagna. I’m excited for us to come together and do some real good. We all know real estate is the number one way to build wealth and become a millionaire. But here’s something fewer people realize: homeownership is also the number one way out of poverty in America. That’s why I’ve partnered with SavingHomes.org and Ross Hamilton to help a family keep their home. What I love about Saving Homes is simple - your donation doesn’t just help once. It gets used again and again, maybe even outliving you, to help family after family. So when we come together to save this home, the impact will echo for generations. Go to savinghomes.org/nick to help save a family today! Every bit helps and Ross will MATCH your donation!

Why emotional intelligence is essential in coaching You know what @AlbertoCrane really gets at? It’s that emotional intelligence is the game-changer most leaders don’t talk about enough. Sure, you can be a strong leader, but if you’re blowing up all the time, people stick around because they have to, not because they want to. In this clip from The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna, we will talk that feedback isn’t about tearing someone down, it’s about helping them grow. And when that’s the environment, people don’t just show up - they take ownership, treating the gym or workplace like it’s theirs. That’s when you see real growth, happiness, and a team that’s genuinely invested in each other. #AlbertoCrane #TheAGamePodcast #EmotionalIntelligence #Leadership #TeamCulture

Turning negative experiences into successful growth In this conversation from The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna, @AlbertoCrane breaks down the mindset that separates winners from those who quit after their first loss. He pulls from his martial arts background to make the point - you can be losing an entire fight and still pull off an armbar in the last 30 seconds and take home the win. Business is no different. The people who actually make it aren't the ones who never fail - they're the ones who stop running from failure, learn from it, and keep showing up. Alberto also gets into why having the right people in your corner makes all the difference. #AlbertoCrane #TheAGamePodcast #EntrepreneurMindset #StayInTheFight #FailForward

How resilient leaders inspire growth and break barriers @AlbertoCrane ’s story hits different when you hear how long he kept grinding before things finally clicked. In this clip from The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna he shares how he went through years of tough losses, but instead of walking away, he kept showing up, kept testing himself, and built the kind of mental toughness that makes you lean in when life gets heavy. That’s what makes his journey so relatable - it’s about learning how to stay in the fight, shift your perspective, and trust that resilience pays off. It’s the kind of mindset that inspires athletes, coaches, and anyone chasing growth to keep pushing, even when the road feels endless. #AlbertoCrane #TheAGamePodcast #LeadershipSkills #MentalToughness #CoachingMindset

How the power of saying no leads to greater success Our guest @AlbertoCrane has been around long enough to know that saying yes to everything is a fast track to burnout - and in this clip from The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna, he gets real about how he decides what's actually worth his time. From evaluating business deals to picking the right coach, Alberto talks about why studying successful people, spotting the patterns, and then going all in once you've made your decision is the formula that keeps working. He even gets into why losing isn't the end of the road - it's just part of the process of coming back stronger and smarter. If you've ever felt pulled in a hundred directions and struggled to commit to one thing, this one's for you. #AlbertoCrane #TheAGamePodcast #GoAllIn #Commitment #DecisionMaking

Always great to see one of the most unique humans out there the one and only John Beneduce @ManimalJohn The Manimal! If you know you know!

Why the next ten years will be the greatest time to invest You know, it feels like we’re living in a moment where everything’s shifting - markets, demographics, even the way people think about housing and money. And while that can feel a little chaotic, it’s also where the real upside lives. In this clip from The A Game Podcast our guest @eddie_wilson3, entrepreneur, author, keynote speaker, private equity operator, founder of Empire Operating System and CEO of @_collectivei, tells that instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for things to calm down, it's time to lean in and go after it. #EddieWilson #TheAGamePodcast #MarketTrends #OpportunityInVolatility #InvestingTips

It was incredible as always getting to spend some time with my friend @AlbertoCrane. Legacy BJJ in Burbank has become a regular stop in my travels. I make it a point to go there a few times a year and stay as many days as I can. I tried to train smarter this time so I could attend as many sessions as possible and not have my body hold up but I’m not sure that's what happened lol. Alberto has one of the most welcoming academies in California and offers so much more than Jiu Jitsu. Classes are always fun, rolls are always tough and I always learn a lot about being a leader and a good person when I get to sit down and hangout at @acaijunglebowls with Alberto and whoever he usually has in visiting from an international academy! Check out his new book coming out soon “All In,” and catch him on my podcast The A Game Podcast next week! #albertocrane #legacybjj #bjjfamily #leadership #entrepreneurlife

I had the privilege of going right to the source! Coyote Guard and Dog Fight have always been a big part of my Jiu Jitsu game. For years I have been trying to connect with Lucas Leite and get some tips from the authority on the Coyote Guard! Incredible details to improve my understanding of the position and then had some fun rolls where I got to experience the effectiveness of how well Lucas uses these techniques first hand. I appreciate you getting up early and beating me up! Thank you! #nogibjj #jiujitsutips #coyoteguard #LucasLeite #bjjblackbelt

I had a great time training a few sessions at 10th Planet Pasadena! Early morning crew was excellent🫡. Love waking up for morning rolls with great people. Thank you so much for the hospitality and training. Shoutout to Rudy Garcia @gfittraining1. for the excellent details and a great private session to tighten up some leg locks and passing. Looking forward to the next time! #jiujitsu #jiujitsutips #martialarts #10thplanet #bjjblackbelt

@DrJesseMorse No they were both prescribed and were reputable and pricey

@NickLamagnaInv I’m asking if the SS-31 you used was prescribed to you or was it one you randomly purchased online. If it was the latter, then you can’t trust it. SS-31 is hard to source and can be pricey ($300/course)

There’s only a couple peptides that can help to ‘reset’ your body, your mitochondria. MOTS-c is one of them, and another is SS-31. SS-31 is actually a drug in the United States approved by the FDA in 2025. So the naysayers saying ‘there’s no safety data on that peptide’ will be wrong about this one. Here’s a deep dive into SS-31: open.substack.com/pub/drjessemor…

@DrJesseMorse Not sure what you mean? I took both and had allergic reactions to both. Looking for a good peptide that heals similar ways that may be an option.

@NickLamagnaInv Let me guess; Research peptides
