We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Anthony Clark. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Anthony below.
Anthony, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?
The idea of starting my Publishing and Production Company came when I was incarcerated, and serving time in prison in Georgia. I always knew that I wanted to share my story literally and visually however I didn’t take it as serious until I was locked up in a cell by myself in the hole. While in the hole I began journaling and asking myself important questions about why I was in the position that I was in. After answering those tough questions I was able to heal in ways that I had no clue of. Because of the healing that writing provided for me I decided that I wanted to take writing to the next level because I began to see that it was narrative therapy. So I decided to seriously launch my companies when I got out of prison. Doing that he catapulted me in ways that I didn’t imagine and I am proud of what he come out of taking the vision God gave me serious and bringing it from an idea to a reality.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Going to prison twice, for a term of almost 10 years in total, taught me a lot about myself and how resilient I am as I endured that tribulation. Being in the worst place on Earth and having to survive an environment where everyday your in a life-threatening situation will teach you how resilient you are. There were times when I was right in the midst of gang wars where other prisoners and inmates were being stabbed and killed right before my eyes. Seeing that was heartbreaking but also it showed me that God was always by my side and protected me from any hurt harm or danger in the midst of that chaos. As I encourage others today I always try to tell them that God is always by your side no matter what. I am able to attest to that with my whole heart because like I said during the time that I was in prison God was the only one that kept me through that storm, and I know if he could do it for me, he can definitely do it for you. So if you’re going through anything right now I would encourage you to keep your head up because things are going to get better, just keep trusting in God because brighter days are on the way.
How’d you meet your business partner?
My business partner Dana Freeman is a an amazing guy and brother to me. We met in prison unfortunately, however God ordained for me to be right where I needed to be at that time in order for me to meet him so that he could be a blessing in my life later on when I got out of prison. Like I said earlier I knew it was only God that was allowing me to survive while being in the worst place on Earth. I want aware at the time, but God had a plan for me to meet an amazing individual and one of his servants while I was there. Dana and I relationship has been one that will go down in history for me because he is not only my business partner he is like the big brother that I never had. So again I would encourage any one of you who are in business to keep God at the forefront of what you’re doing because you never know how and when he will bless you.
