Today we’d like to introduce you to Anthony Johnson

Hi Anthony, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?

I was inspired to start my journey in entrepreneurship because I wanted to help individuals and families create a lasting legacy. Growing up in East St. Louis, Illinois presented a lot of challenges, but there was a plan and purpose for my life even though I was born to a teenage mom in the 70’s. My faith in God has played a pivotal role in my decision to structure my family and my businesses to grow generational wealth; and wealth just isn’t money. I’m talking about overall wealth, health and prosperity in my faith, family, and finances. I believe we are all called to steward our gifts and talents in ways that honor God and impact others. That’s why my family started Testimony Publishers, LLC.®️ with a vision to empower legacy-builders to turn their stories and expertise into books that inspire, educate, and uplift others. Through my other ventures, a transportation company and a non-profit, I saw opportunities to provide practical solutions that support families and start-ups. Entrepreneurship, for me, is more than “work”—it’s about serving people and building something meaningful for future generations.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?

No, it hasn’t been a smooth road. Entrepreneurship often comes with challenges, and I’ve faced my share. Early on, there were financial hurdles, sleepless nights, and moments where doubt crept in. Balancing time between family, faith, and business was another challenge. Yet, through every trial, I leaned on my faith. Philippians 4:13 reminds me, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” That verse carried me through tough times, reminding me that God’s grace is sufficient, even in moments of weakness. I’ve always known that I wanted to work for myself but when my daughter was 2 years old, she had 2 surgeries within 24 hours to remove a tumor in her neck. When that happened, I was far from where I wanted to be in life. So, I prayed that God would help me to never be in a position where I had to choose between food on the table or paying rent or being with a loved one during their time of need. Over the next few years, God helped me see the importance of my prayer life and studying wealthy families who have been able to leave long legacies. My family saw gaps in the publishing industry so we began to fill them. We saw gaps in the transportation industry and we began to fill them as well. People started to notice what God was doing in my family and the rest is history. Overall, my struggles have truly strengthened my resolve and deepened my gratitude for the blessings that have followed.

We’ve been impressed with Testimony Publishers, LLC.® and Emergence Lgx and Tr, Inc., but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

At Testimony Publishers, LLC.®️, we specialize in authorpreneurship—helping individuals and their families turn their life stories, expertise, and dreams into published works that can leave a legacy. Our journey began with my family. My eight children, also known as JFAM JOHNSON®️, are International Amazon Bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, and speakers. Together, we’ve written books that go beyond just sharing our story—they inspire, empower, and provide practical tools for others to achieve their goals.

Two of our most impactful offers are “How to Write 1500 Words in 15 Minutes” and the “EZ-PZ HOMESCHOOLER™️.” With AI being a huge hit among online entrepreneurs and content creators, our 1500 words in 15 minutes framework shows everyday people how to write an amazing book while maintaining your intellectual property rights. Most people don’t know that you can’t “own” or copyright AI written content, and it also doesn’t sound exactly like “you.” But, there are strategies that can help you write quickly and effectively to produce a profitable book that people will pay for. Many times, people want to write a book on their own because they believe it will be “cheaper,” only to find out they have to redo their book because it’s not selling or they wrote it in a way that makes their book unable to compete in the literary market. Our mission is to help you avoid those bumps in the road. When it comes to homeschooling, many families are opting to give it a try but they have no idea who to listen to or where to get trustworthy results. Our family has been homeschooling for decades, and our simple, no stress approach is the only solution for many families. With 8 children between the ages of 8 and 17, we’ve battle tested our all-in-one homeschool start-up guide, the EZ-PZ HOMESCHOOLER™. It includes all of the resources you need and truly helps parents and guardians begin homeschooling in 3 weeks or less. It’s also been incredible to see how this resource has transformed families, giving them confidence and clarity as they step into a new chapter of their lives.

Our love for family and desire to help others succeed sets us apart. Whether it’s guiding authors to build businesses around their books, or providing resources for individuals to launch their business, or equipping families to homeschool, we’re driven by the desire to see others thrive. We don’t just offer services—we offer solutions that change lives and help build lasting legacies.

What matters most to you? Why?

Faith, family and legacy are most important to me. My faith keeps me grounded, providing the foundation for everything I do. It reminds me that my purpose is greater than profit, and that it’s about glorifying God through service. My family is my “why”—they are my motivation, my support system, and my biggest blessing. Legacy also matters to me because it’s about what I leave behind—values, wisdom, and impact that extend beyond my lifetime. My goal is to help others build their own legacies, rooted in faith and resilience, so they too can inspire generations to come.
