We had the good fortune of connecting with Anthony Sanchez Sanchez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anthony sanchez, how do you think about risk?
I look at risk as part of the game — it’s either you move or you get stuck. Taking risks is what shaped me, for better and for worse. Some of the chances I took in the streets cost me years of my life, but even those lessons turned into fuel for the man I am today. Every big step forward I’ve made — from surviving prison, rebuilding myself, to chasing real opportunities — it all came from betting on myself when the outcome wasn’t guaranteed. Risk taught me that nothing great comes without putting something on the line, and now I use that same mindset in my career: calculated moves, faith in myself, and never being afraid to take that leap.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My career has been anything but easy, and that’s exactly what sets me apart. I didn’t take the straight path — I came up from the streets, faced hard time, and carried lessons most people only hear about in stories. What I’m most proud of is turning that struggle into strength, using my past not as a weight but as proof that redemption and growth are real.

I got here by betting on myself when no one else would, by speaking my truth and building a brand around authenticity. Every challenge — from prison walls to rebuilding my name on the outside — forced me to sharpen my mindset and hustle smarter. What I’ve learned along the way is simple: consistency, discipline, and the courage to stay true to who you are will take you further than shortcuts ever could.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that it represents resilience, transformation, and realness. I stand on the idea that your past doesn’t define you — it prepares you. My story is living proof that you can take pain, mistakes, and adversity, and turn it into power, purpose, and opportunity.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’ll take them to the club like side bar or 5306
