What if I told you the most powerful leadership lessons don’t come from business school… but from pain, adversity, and choosing to rise when life tries to bury you? That’s exactly what my guest, Anthony Birdsong, brings to this episode—and trust me, you’re not ready for how real it gets.
What We Talk About:
In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Anthony peels back the layers of his incredible journey—from being raised amidst addiction and instability to building Maryland’s #1 independent used car dealership. We talk about what it takes to lead a team of 60 with heart, humility, and hustle. Anthony shares how the darkest moments of his life, including childhood trauma and nearly losing everything during COVID, became the fuel for his transformation.
You’ll hear how faith, relentless self-awareness, and the power of personal development reshaped his life—and how his wife and son became the ultimate anchors in his storm. There’s wisdom here for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, broken, or unsure of their worth. We also dig deep into what real leadership means, and how being “just a used car dealer” is only a small part of why Anthony’s story matters.
Whether you’re in the car biz or not, this episode will challenge you, move you, and maybe even push you to confront your own story with new courage.
