In this episode of the Business Blast Podcast, host Tyler Wagner interviews 19‑year‑old entrepreneur Kevin Musiol about his journey building an online business and a global network. Kevin shares his formative story, emphasizing that success isn’t a matter of luck but of personal responsibility learned from his parents and books his father gave him. He highlights momentum as the key driver for both personal and team progress, describing how early consistency creates accountability. Kevin advises that success isn’t “on sale” – you must pay the price and avoid unhealthy comparisons. He stresses the importance of moving from reading to implementation, citing books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, The 4‑Hour Workweek, and Tony Robbins’ Power Principles, noting that thoughts become reality.

Alright everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Business Blast Podcast. I'm your host Tyler Wagner. Today I have Kevin Muzio with us. He is a young guy building his online business and network all over the world. So welcome to the show, man.
Thanks for having me.
Of course, grateful to have you on. So Kevin, the first one we ask on this show is what is the best story from your life that has an underlying valuable message?
Um, I think it's like, so I'm very young building a business with 19, so I think it's the story how I started in this whole thing. With 12 or 13, everybody wants to become that or that, and my dream was always to become rich. It sounds crazy, but yeah, and the whole, my whole family taught me, and my mother especially, it's all luck to become successful. And with 16, I began apprenticeship and thought, so, hmm, I'm not rich and not successful either. And so I asked my dad, and my dad gave me some books from successful people. And in this book, in this books, they were, they advised that to be successful, there's no luck in it. And I think that's the biggest learning of the story in my life. So that no luck to being successful or to become wealthy.
Yeah, no, absolutely, man. And dudes, it's awesome. You're 19 years old, man. You got, you got time on your side, I'll tell you that. Yes, that's awesome, man. Um, so the next one I got for you is what is the most valuable piece of information we should know that's within your expertise or industry?
Um, I think momentum. So when you can create momentum for yourself and for your team. I think that's the most valuable in my section and in that what I'm doing, you know.
Yeah, dude, I agree. I tell people all the time that, that like, I think the beginning is always the hardest, um, but there's something to be said about momentum. Like once your business or your— like when you— it could be business, health, the relationship. Like once something starts to like have momentum, like it like creates like accountability And then like, you like will refuse to let it like fail kind of, you know, you know what I mean? Like if you run, yeah. Like if you run for like 3 weeks straight, then you're, it's like really hard for you not to run the next day. Cause you're like, dude, I've already come this far. Like I'm not going to like not run now.
So I think that's like a play, you know, but by the beginning, the start is pretty rough, but yeah, fly with the wind.
Absolutely. So next one is, is what's your best piece of overall business advice? So not necessarily industry specific.
I think that success is never on sale, so you have to pay the price. I see a lot of guys coming in the businesses and crushing it, and other guys need more time and they look at that guy who's crushing it, but they don't see the whole story of it, you know. And then they feel bad because they're not so successful in this short period, but the other guy who is successful maybe began just at— just— he began just earlier than, yeah, you know.
So yeah, and you don't want to compare yourself really to others, right? I mean, yes, we all get there, um, in our own, in our own time and in our own way. Um, so next one is, if you could give— I know you're only 19, but even your younger self, so when you were sucking your thumb, if you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would that be?
I think to implement strategies out of books in my life. So with 16, I began to read a lot, a lot of books. I'm a book lover, but I don't implement the strategies in my life with 16. So I read with 16 Rich Dad Poor Dad, but I was literally broke till I was 18, because then I realized you have to implement strategies that is given you by a book in your life, and you have to do it what they are standing, and not only to know it.
Yeah, dude, absolutely. There's definitely a trend there as well. Like, people that— I think, like, I love reading books, and books is what, like, opened my mind. And then, like, after that, then the next step is, like, apply, because you can just, like, read all the time and then you, like, forget to apply. So, obviously, to achieve success, you have to apply what you learn. So, there's like a balance because that's, at least for me, when I first started, I read two first books, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. And both those books just like changed my life. And then, I went on a rampage and just started reading everything. And then, I was like, okay, this is good. I'm learning a lot. I need to keep reading. There's no doubt like you should just keep reading forever. You gotta like step back and also start applying what you read as well.
Yes.
So next one's kind of going a little bit down a different path. In your opinion, what is the key to happiness?
I think to think that you are happy. I think if you think you're happy, you will be happy. So our thoughts determine what we feel, you know? And also, um, time with your family, for example, or time with friends, time with people you love, like that.
Yeah, I think relationships, I think, are essential, um, to happiness for sure. Um, so I'm excited for your answer on this next one. What is the best book that you've read and what was the number one thing you learned from that?
Oh, that's good. Good one. I think it's the Robbins Power Principle from Tony Robbins. And what I've learned is just that our thoughts will become our reality.
Mm-hmm. Absolutely. And then what's your favorite quote and why?
Um, I think it's by Albert Einstein and he said, it's I can do it in German, but in English I have to translate it, so it could be wrong.
Give it to us in both, because it'll be fun to hear it in German.
In both?
Okay.
In Germany, you say, es ist verrückt, immer das Gleiche zu tun und andere Ergebnisse zu erwarten. Like, it's It's crazy to do always the same stuff and—
Oh, and expect a different, like, result?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah, I got you. Yeah, like, is it the one where it's like, the definition of insanity is—
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Got it. Yeah, I love that quote as well. And dude, thanks for giving us a little German in there. That's a first for the Business Blast podcast. I appreciate it. So, um, dude, thanks for coming on. The last one I got for you before we let you go is where can our listeners best connect with you online?
