Tony’s story didn’t start in boardrooms. As a child abandoned in a foreign country, he ended up on the streets, scavenging for food and doing whatever he could to survive. To get by, he mowed lawns, cleared gardens, and knocked on doors for pennies and a meal. Survival wasn’t just about the work — it taught him how people treated you when you had nothing, and how small shifts in behaviour could spark a positive response. Those early lessons became the roots of a sales skillset he would later take into the corporate world, knocking on the doors of businesses and turning conversations into opportunities.
