Anthony Sorella

Founder · Creative Agency Builder

Anthony Sorella is the co-founder of The Neighbourhood, a Toronto-based media and marketing agency he built from the ground up alongside his business partner, and co-host of the Money Buys Happiness podcast - a show launched during the pandemic to explore the real relationship between money, mindset, and fulfilment. He turned down offers from top universities early on to bet on himself instead, and that same appetite for risk has carried through building a multimillion-dollar creative agency and a media platform that's racked up billions of views through raw, unscripted conversation rather than polish. On Decoding Wisdom, Anthony gets into what it actually costs to get to the top - the trade-offs behind the money, the manifestation, the vulnerability - and makes the case that real success isn't the bank balance, it's the experiences you're able to create for the people you love.
