“For exemplary leadership to empower all of mankind.”
Anthony V. Johnson: From Warrior to Guide
In 2016, I received the Global Leadership Award from I Change Nations for “exemplary leadership to empower all of mankind.”
It wasn’t the award that shaped me — it was the mission behind it:
➡️ serve people
➡️ elevate them
➡️ and give them the tools to rise stronger than before
That mission has defined every chapter of my life.
🔵 A Life Built on Reinvention
My path has been anything but ordinary:
- U.S. Army Infantry Squad Leader
- Professional musician, performing in Europe and San Francisco
- Senior Health Physics Technician in nuclear safety
- Trial Lawyer for 27 years, handling thousands of cases
- Author, martial artist, pilot, scuba diver, traveler, and creator
Each chapter demanded reinvention.
Each chapter forged new strengths.
Each chapter prepared me for my mission today:
👉 Helping men over 35 reclaim their purpose, rebuild their confidence, and rise into the men they were meant to become.
Military Leadership: Forged Under Pressure
At 17, I enlisted.
I was appointed Squad Leader in Basic Training, Advanced Infantry Training, and with the 4th Infantry Division.
Earned the Expert Infantryman’s Badge (EIB)
Graduated Combat Leader’s School (Camp Red Devil)
Served in the U.S. Army Mounted Color Guard & Drill Team
The Army taught me:
👉 lead with purpose
👉 stay calm under pressure
👉 finish the mission
Lessons I now instill in my clients.
Music & Creativity: Learning to Perform When It Matters
I toured as a drummer in Europe and San Francisco, performing with big bands, theater productions, recording acts, and elite groups in multiple genres.
On stage, I learned:
Discipline
Precision
Identity
And the courage to show up unapologetically
All essential skills for any man entering a new chapter.
Nuclear Safety & High-Stakes Leadership
As a Senior Health Physics Technician, I managed:
Radiation safety
Emergency response
Environmental compliance
High-risk problem-solving
It sharpened a mindset that my clients value deeply:
Think clearly. Act decisively. Lead yourself first.
Law & Advocacy: Strength in the Storm
I earned my B.A. in English (3.9 GPA in the major) and continued to Loyola University School of Law, earning Moot Court honors.
As a Trial Lawyer:
I represented clients in major felony jury trials while a third year law student (murder, armed robbery, and more)
Handled thousands of cases across 40+ courts
Guided people through some of the hardest moments of their lives
That experience taught me how to:
👉 cut through confusion
👉 restore confidence
👉 and help men regain control of their story
The Truth: I Was Always a Coach
Across every career — military, music, nuclear, martial arts, and law — a single pattern was always there:
I was mentoring.
I was guiding.
I was helping men rise.
Coaching wasn’t a career change.
It was a calling.
Today, I help men over 35:
- Reconnect with who they truly are
- Rebuild confidence after burnout or crisis
- Rediscover purpose
- And launch the strongest chapter of their lives
**If You’re a Man Over 35 and You Feel Lost…
You’re Not Alone — And You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone**
You’ve carried responsibilities your whole life…
Now it’s time to reclaim your purpose.
Let’s build the clarity, direction, and confidence you need for your next mission.
Where It All Began
I grew up on military grounds — born at Fort Benning — raised in an atmosphere of discipline, leadership, and mission.
My father was a military flight instructor, a fixed-wing and helicopter pilot.
He taught me courage, commitment, and resilience — lessons I still teach today.
He was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery in 2005.
At age 7, a single moment in Paris changed me forever:
I saw a drummer in a jazz café, locked eyes with him, and from that moment, music grabbed me.
By age 14, I was performing in nightclubs — learning presence, pressure, and performance under fire.
Even back then… I was being shaped for a mission larger than myself.

Life is short.
You don’t get to repeat it.
So you maximize every gift God gives you — and you refuse to leave any chapter unlived.
My Philosophy
You never want to look back and say:
“I wish I would have…”
Every man has a mission.
Every man has a next chapter.
And every man can rise again — with the right structure, guidance, and strategy.
