ALL ABOUT ANTHONY

Originally born and raised in NYC, Anthony was labeled as the kid who couldn't sit still. Throughout his entire scholastic life, he barely made grades that was worth bringing home.  From Elementary school to High School, he could count on one hand where he had a grade of 80 or up.  Constantly being told that he wasn't going to be much in life, Anthony believed it and moved with that mindset for a very long time.  Often hearing that he was a leader, Anthony never believed in himself due to low self-esteem.  While hanging with the wrong crowds and seeing the affects that had on him, he finally made a decision to improve himself.  After a couple of years of hard work, Anthony was able to graduate on time and with honors. However, after HS, his journey took many up's, downs, failures, apathy, and loads of disappointments.  Speaking since the age of 16 along with having a dynamic personality, Anthony speaks with a convicting passion. He is on a mission to help middle school, high school, college scholars by addressing mental barriers, boosting self-esteem, providing practical guidance to help them excel academically and socially. Helping them overcome self-doubt, embrace growth, and reach their full potential and develop mental resilience to push through adversity to help prevent them from wavering or giving up on the path of their purpose like he once did.

Control starts here

Control starts here
In this round, the worst trait of a man is one who has no self control. Too many men have put themselves in peculiar situations letting their ego be the one that's calling the shots. Some have lost their jobs, their freedom, and many even have lost their lives trying to prove the wrong statement. We must square up for the right reasons.

This is part of your breakthrough

This is part of your breakthrough
In this round, men are going to understand that in order for a breakthrough to occur, there is a prerequisite you MUST enroll in. BUT even though you get through one part; understand that a man will have to enroll in this grueling course again.

Shrinking for People Who Never Grew

Shrinking for People Who Never Grew
Some men aren’t failing because they lack ability — they’re failing because they’re shrinking. Shrinking their voice. Shrinking their vision. Shrinking their potential… just to stay comfortable around people who never had the courage to grow. Why are some men still playing small? In this round, we break down why playing small to avoid criticism will cost you more than rejection ever will — and how small-minded opinions quietly keep men stuck in mediocrity. This isn’t about arrogance. It’s about refusing to dim your purpose to fit someone else’s limitations. Time to step into your purpose with confidence.

You've FINALLY recognized this person

You've FINALLY recognized this person
In this round, the men who are genuinely confident in themselves carry a certain aura. Many men are not able to command a room, but they can still command their space.

You were told this... And you believed it
22:16
You were told this... And you believed it
In this round, so many men are told lies, false prophesies, and other self defeating tropes that some have mimicked the men before them or currently with them. Finding a way not to fulfill any of those "prophecies" is a fight, but it's worth it when you see the caution sign(s) literally standing in front of you. #formen #generationalcycles #lies #findthetruth
Your promises and the slump
20:48
Your promises and the slump
You have made more promises than a politician; and like a politician whose been voted in, you've only fulfilled 1/4 of your promises, to your family, to your purpose and more importantly, to your yourself. You've struck out to many times on the promises. In this round, let's get you out of the slump of your unfulfilled promises, all it starts with is one hit.

Babysitting this man is hard

Babysitting this man is hard
In this round, the men who're at the brink of refusing to display their strengths when the moment demands it; and the men who are content comforting dormancy. Gentlemen, our self improvement starts when we stop babysitting what is comfortable. There’s strength inside you that never gets used — discipline never developed, leadership never activated, potential never demanded. And instead of confronting it, many choose ease over evolution. We talk about the danger of dormant power — and why settling for “good enough” quietly robs a man of who he could become. Comfort feels safe. But unused strength turns into regret.

The storm is here
15:19
The storm is here
The storm isn’t coming — it’s already here. Economic uncertainty, global conflict, unstable markets, and rising pressure are shaking the foundation of everyday life. In times like these, panic spreads quickly. But panic has never built anything. This round, is for men who understand that difficult seasons demand preparation, discipline, and clarity. When the world becomes unstable, strong men don’t fold — they adapt, strengthen their position, and prepare for what’s ahead. The storm reveals who was ready… and who wasn’t. Now is the time to brace yourself, sharpen your mindset, and stand firm when others lose their footing. Music by: @officialkfreshmusic https://www.instagram.com/kfreshmusic?igsh=dmd1OTIyaGtjaTNj
