Most people wait for someone else to hand them a reason to keep going — a motivational speech, a viral clip, a pep talk that makes them feel unstoppable for one night. Anthony Suppa thinks that's backwards. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, serial entrepreneur with two decades in restaurants and hospitality, and the founder of the nonprofit Slice of Charity, Suppa built his entire operating system around a different fuel source: the high that only comes from accomplishing something yourself.

In this conversation with George Wright III on The Daily Mastermind, Suppa — recently named 2026 New York State Vetrepreneur of the Year — breaks down how Marine Corps discipline translates into business leadership, why failure is a tool instead of a verdict, and how a small restaurant toy drive grew into a 501(c)(3) that's outpacing charities twice its age.

Anthony Suppa on Applying Marine Corps Discipline to Business

Ask Suppa whether his military background shows up in how he runs a business and the answer is immediate: without a doubt. But the lesson he leads with isn't what most people expect. It isn't rigidity or barking orders — it's the recognition that people are not interchangeable.

"Everybody has to be managed differently," he says. "Each individual person does not respond the same exact way to how you're speaking to them, what you expect of them. Not everybody does well with pressure. Not everybody does well without pressure." Reading which person needs heat and which needs room is a leadership skill he carried straight from the Corps into restaurant management.

The second export is simpler and harder: you don't stop. "You have something in your mind and you just keep going until you succeed in that mission." That's where most business owners stall out. They have a good idea and a good concept, but the moment they hit failure, they decide the idea was never any good in the first place.

Why Failure Is a Learning Tool, Not a Stopping Point

Two decades in hospitality — including COVID — produced plenty of hard lessons. Suppa is direct about one of them: he sold a restaurant that wasn't working. He calls it what it was.

Failure is not a bad thing. Failure is a learning experience. That's what people don't realize.

He was in his early to mid-twenties at the time, and he says he learned more in those few years than he could have any other way. That reframe is what lets him make asks other people won't make. "Just try. Just do it. Just reach out to that person or just reach out to that company. What are they gonna do? They're gonna tell you no?"

George pushed the point further: the real shift isn't learning lessons from failure — everyone has heard that — it's changing your relationship to failure so completely that you stop avoiding it. You want to fail five times faster because it gets you to the finish line quicker.

Motivation vs. Discipline: Create Your Own Wins

People constantly ask Suppa where his energy comes from and whether he listens to motivational speakers or podcasts. His answer is a hard no — and it's the core idea of the entire episode.

Don't get that high from listening to somebody speak. Get that high from accomplishing a goal.

His reasoning is practical. A borrowed high is easy to get, so it evaporates by morning. "You get all excited that night, 'I'm gonna take over the world.' And then when you wake up the next morning, you do nothing with it, because you got the high easy. You didn't work to get that high."

Earned wins work differently. Once you become obsessed with the feeling of finishing something, that feeling starts driving your behavior instead of your mood. George echoed it: motivation is a doorway, not a foundation. Discipline, confidence, and self-worth get built by your own results, not outside validation.

Entrepreneur vs. Self-Employed

Suppa draws a line too many people blur. Someone self-employed goes to work weekly and performs a job they could have been hired to do. An entrepreneur wants to grow and grind — "up till 3:00 in the morning looking things up and sending out emails," then up again at 8:00 AM on four to six hours of sleep. Many people start a business hoping to work less. He says that isn't the reality of it anymore.

How Slice of Charity Grew From a Toy Drive to 1,500 People

For roughly 15 or 16 years, Suppa ran a Toys for Tots drive out of his restaurant in East Meadow. It started with about 40 people. Then 60. Then 80. Eventually the restaurant simply couldn't hold it.

The turning point was a relationship with Gary at Oheka Castle in Long Island, who opened the property up for the drive. The first year at Oheka drew 1,500 people. "I love being able to bring 5,000, 10,000 different toys — whether it be Toys for Tots or the hospitals," Suppa says. What drives him is blunt and personal: children are the definition of innocence, and they should never feel hunger, pain, or fear.

Slice of Charity received its 501(c)(3) roughly 18 months ago, and Suppa says what they've accomplished in that window takes most charities a decade. The structure is deliberate. There's no payroll — the board and team are volunteers. They filed a full 990 in each of their first two years, when most young nonprofits file a postcard. And 99.5% of everything that came in went back out, with a half percent covering unavoidable costs like the lawyer and accountant.

Building Veteran Ally for Commerce to Fund the Mission

Suppa doesn't like asking for money. So instead of building a charity that lives on donations, grants, and fundraising, he built a business to feed it. Veteran Ally for Commerce exists to generate profits that flow into Slice of Charity — what he calls "a bloodline for the charity." Even his fundraising follows that logic: rather than asking for a $5 or $10 donation, he creates events where people buy a ticket and get a real experience with their family and friends.

Making room for all of it comes down to two habits. First, incorporate the work into your daily life — at dinner, camping, out with friends, you turn your brain on and talk about what you're building. Second, delegate. "If you lock yourself in a position in your business as somebody that you are paying minimum wage to do, you're never gonna grow," he says. You have to hand real responsibility to real people and accept that you won't have total control.

Action Steps

  • Stop chasing borrowed motivation. Set one small goal this week and let the feeling of finishing it become your fuel.
  • Make the ask you've been avoiding — the call, the email, the partnership. The worst outcome is a no.
  • Reframe your last failure as tuition. Write down what it taught you, then use it in your next attempt.
  • Identify one task you're personally doing that someone else could own, and hand it off this month.
  • Aim higher than feels reasonable. If you fall short, you learn; if you hit it, you set a new mark.

Anthony Suppa's whole philosophy fits in four words: create your own wins. Small or large, they're yours — and they compound in a way no one else's success ever will. It's never too late to start living the life you were meant to live.

READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT

Anthony Suppa: [00:00:00] you dream so big. Everything is big that you wanna do. I'm like Well [00:00:05] I I'm not gonna shoot for something small. I'll shoot for something really big and if I fall in [00:00:10] between great. If I don't and I failed I learned something. And if I did hit that mark [00:00:15] well guess what? Now I wanna get to the next mark. 'Cause even if I dreamt to be you know the [00:00:20] president of the United States there's gotta be something higher and better than that. George Wright III: [00:00:25] [00:00:30] Okay, guys, Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. George Wright III [00:00:35] Anthony Suppa. How are you doing, man? It's good to have you on the podcast. Anthony Suppa: I'm doing great. Hello everybody. Hello Mr. [00:00:40] Wright. George Wright III: we talked a little bit before, but I wanted to give everybody a little bit of your background on why I wanted to have you on the show, [00:00:45] what we wanted to talk about today. So guys if you're listening to this for the first time make sure you do me a favor and [00:00:50] subscribe or follow. We've got a couple of really cool upcoming guests and a lot of stuff [00:00:55] that we're gonna be giving out so I wanna make sure that you're connected with us. Our goal is to [00:01:00] Monday hit mindset Wednesday we talk business, Friday's more lifestyle, and then we'll have [00:01:05] these interviews in between. And the reason I wanted to ask Anthony on the show is he's a US Marine Corps [00:01:10] veteran entrepreneur serial entrepreneur. He's got a couple decades in restaurant and hospitality [00:01:15] but he started a charity called Slice of Charity, and it's supporting veterans military [00:01:20] families and children in need. And he also has started a company called Veteran Ally for Commerce. [00:01:25] Now this company's really behind the mission driven opportunities and passion he has for [00:01:30] Slice of Charity but it also is gonna cover a lot of health and wellness. So they're just topics that I really like. [00:01:35] Now, Anthony, you were also named 2026 New York State Vetrepreneur of the Year, right? [00:01:40] So that's that's pretty cool. Anthony Suppa: yeah. I'm going up now against about 15 other people [00:01:45] across the entire United States, and we'll see. Hopefully we win it. You know, we got a couple of [00:01:50] interviews we gotta do and George Wright III: yeah, it's always good to have that if you have a charity and you're supporting a good cause like veterans and [00:01:55] so it's good to have that. I know you're not in it for that. But you have a background in the [00:02:00] Marine Corps and then went into restaurants. And so tell me a little bit about what made you decide to [00:02:05] go into restaurants, and then we'll kind of pivot a little bit to the charity. But you've been working the restaurant for a [00:02:10] while now out of the Marine Corps. Do you kind of use a lot of your Marine Corps background in business? Anthony Suppa: Without a doubt. I mean there's a lot of [00:02:15] discipline involved. One thing that you learn in the Marine Corps at least I learned in the Marine Corps is [00:02:20] everybody has to be managed differently. So each individual [00:02:25] person does not respond the same exact way to how you're speaking to [00:02:30] them what you expect of them. Not everybody does well with pressure. So you don't [00:02:35] wanna put pressure on certain people. Not everybody does well without pressure. Maybe some people just do very [00:02:40] well when they're expected a little bit more. So that was a good learning experience throughout the Marine Corps, [00:02:45] is managing people, and I definitely took that with me. Discipline, [00:02:50] without a doubt George Wright III: yeah, I was gonna say you can't help but utilize that. I've known a lot of veterans that have gone [00:02:55] into business afterwards and so when you started a business I'm sure it was a real [00:03:00] foundation for what you're doing, and then you mentioned discipline so Anthony Suppa: Yeah. You need some discipline, you need some drive. I [00:03:05] mean I think it's partially personality and partially the Marine Corps that is you don't ever [00:03:10] stop. You have something in your mind and you just keep going until you succeed in that mission. And, [00:03:15] you know, in business, I think that's a lot of people aren't able [00:03:20] to take the next step. They have a good idea, they have a good concept, but there's a lot of [00:03:25] hard work and there's a lot of failure involved in it in the same breath. And as soon as [00:03:30] people fail, they don't think that their idea is good anymore, or they can't do it, and they don't have that [00:03:35] drive to just keep going and don't take the failure and don't accept no as an [00:03:40] answer George Wright III: Yeah. Well, you know, a couple decades having a restaurant now, you've obviously had probably some [00:03:45] ups and downs and failures and things like that. Is there anything that sticks out in your mind? I mean, especially you've gone [00:03:50] through COVID and all these things. What has given you that mindset of resilience to kinda keep [00:03:55] going versus just going into a different line of business? Anthony Suppa: Well, I think I've always had that in me a little bit, but [00:04:00] in the same breath, it's you got to be willing to fail. Failure is [00:04:05] not a bad thing. Failure is a learning experience. That's what people don't realize. I mean, I've [00:04:10] failed. I've had a restaurant that we sold that was just wasn't doing well, so it's a failure, right? You know, [00:04:15] but in the same breath, it was a learning experience. I was [00:04:20] much younger. I was in my early 20s or mid-20s at that point, um, and I learned a [00:04:25] lot within those couple of years of the opening that first restaurant. But again, [00:04:30] I say to people all the time, "Just try. Just do it. Just reach out to that person or [00:04:35] just reach out to that company." What are they gonna do? They're gonna tell you no? Like who, what is okay, so [00:04:40] no. Or you know what? That one in 100 person tells you yes, [00:04:45] now you feed off of that. Like that's my big thing. I have a lot of [00:04:50] people ask me like, "How do you just have this, all this motivation? You keep going," and like, "Do you listen to [00:04:55] motivational speakers or podcasts and things of that nature?" And, you know, the motivational [00:05:00] speakers for me is not what drives me. I'm, uh, women are not like this, but I'm not for [00:05:05] that... George Wright III: say I'm the same way actually. Anthony Suppa: So like I tell people all the time, I'm like, [00:05:10] "Don't get that high from listening to somebody speak, because you get that high, you get all [00:05:15] excited that night, 'I'm gonna take over the world.' Get that high from accomplishing [00:05:20] a goal." Doesn't have to be a big goal. But once you start being obsessed [00:05:25] with that high, that's the only thing that gives you that satisfaction. That's what drives you. [00:05:30] It's not listening to somebody being like "Oh, you can do this, and all you have to do is work hard [00:05:35] and wake up and take the world on." And yeah, that's all good and great for that [00:05:40] night, but then when you wake up the next morning and you do nothing with it's because you got the high [00:05:45] easy. You didn't work to get that high. You know, and when- George Wright III: Yeah, it's [00:05:50] interesting, 'cause most people that know me know that I'm not a big fan of motivation actually. I think it's just a door or a [00:05:55] gateway to get people to wake up a little bit, but it never lasts. You've gotta [00:06:00] find the discipline, the confidence the... You know like you said, your perspective is find something that [00:06:05] drives you and you also made that comment a minute ago. I actually think that it is important for you [00:06:10] to, in the end view failure a different way. Now, everybody hears you [00:06:15] learn lessons in failure. Okay, yeah, whatever. But it's when your perspective of failure changes [00:06:20] that now you don't avoid it. You want it. You wanna push through it. You wanna fail five times [00:06:25] faster because it just takes you to the finish line quicker. And that's a common trait of a lot of really [00:06:30] successful people so I'm glad you said that, 'cause your perspective on failure perspective on how to get [00:06:35] motivated that's what separates you from most business owners, right? Anthony Suppa: I think so. Um, a lot [00:06:40] of business owners, I feel also they go into business to try [00:06:45] to achieve not working, right? Where George Wright III: Yeah. Yeah. I want [00:06:50] leverage. It's like this is opposite of Anthony Suppa: Yeah that's all good and great, but that's not the reality of it [00:06:55] anymore. If you wanna be... Something I've read once before, there's a difference between an entrepreneur and [00:07:00] somebody that's self-employed. Somebody that's self-employed just goes to work, uh, [00:07:05] on a weekly basis and just does a job that they can be hired for. An [00:07:10] entrepreneur is somebody that wants to really grow and grind and [00:07:15] be up till 3:00 in the morning looking things up and sending out emails and getting up [00:07:20] at, you know, 8:00 AM with, you know, four, five, six hours of sleep. And you just every [00:07:25] day you gotta just keep going and keep going. George Wright III: You love the thrill of it too. Anthony Suppa: of it. I love George Wright III: [00:07:30] you, you, grind with it. So let me ask you a question 'cause you do you do the restaurant for a couple of decades [00:07:35] but then you decided to start this charity. Now obviously you have an affinity to to [00:07:40] veterans, but what made you decide to bite that off? Because slice of charity that's not an [00:07:45] easy, that's not an easy path. So tell me what happened or why you decided to start this [00:07:50] charity and what's behind it. Anthony Suppa: uh, what happened was for about 15, 16 years, I was [00:07:55] doing a toy drive for Toys for Tots, and it would do-- It was small. It started out with [00:08:00] like 40 people at the restaurant in East Meadow, and each year it was like it grew a little [00:08:05] bit. 40 turned to 60, 60 turned to 80. It got bigger and bigger, and it was like, "Well, we can't even [00:08:10] host this at the restaurant anymore." So we continued to, you know, try to pack as many [00:08:15] people as, in as we can, and what happened was we made a relationship with [00:08:20] Gary from Oheka Castle. He owns Oheka Castle in Long Island, which is one of the most [00:08:25] beautiful places in the United States. And he allowed us to [00:08:30] utilize the castle for these toy drives. And what happened was the, the first [00:08:35] year we did it, we had 1,500 people come out to the... Meaning the first year we did it at Oheka. [00:08:40] So now I'm saying to myself like, "This is wonderful." Like, I love doing this for the kids. I love being able to [00:08:45] bring 5,000, 10,000 different toys to whether it be Toys for Tots or the [00:08:50] hospitals or things of that nature. And I was like, "I wanna see where I can go with this. I feel like I would be [00:08:55] really good at this." I'm really passionate about it. I mean, I say this on every [00:09:00] podcast that I go on. If you look into a child's eyes, if you look into a child's soul, [00:09:05] they are the definition of innocence. These children are innocent.[00:09:10] They should never feel hunger. They should never feel pain. They should never feel being scared or, [00:09:15] or where their next meal, again, that comes with hunger, comes from. So [00:09:20] that's what drove me to actually open or start Slice of Charity, [00:09:25] because a lot of people for many years are like, "What are you doing? You take on so many different things, so many projects. Like [00:09:30] you know now you wanna do a charity? Like you don't have enough on your plate? And I was like, [00:09:35] Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then finally, literally almost-- It's been about 18 months that Slice of Charity [00:09:40] got the 501[c][3], and what we've done in 18 months takes normal charities [00:09:45] decades or a decade to do. It's not normal how fast we grew, and I think it's [00:09:50] because of the passion and, you know, George Wright III: You know, it's interesting to me because I [00:09:55] find that some of the busiest people are the most productive [00:10:00] on adding to their plate at Anthony Suppa: Oh, yeah. George Wright III: this charity itself is like,[00:10:05] um, you know, it, it's probably also built your business and everything else. So it's, it, [00:10:10] there's a, there's more than just the purpose and fulfillment behind it. It's actually a pretty synergistic effect. [00:10:15] Wouldn't you, wouldn't you agree when it comes to doing something like that? Anthony Suppa: Think good comes with good too. You know? Like, if [00:10:20] you do good, good comes to you. Where I you know, I run the charity with [00:10:25] my board a certain way where we don't have a payroll so you know everybody is volunteered. [00:10:30] You know maybe in the future that will change. That just means we grew so big [00:10:35] that we can't just do it on volunteers. But we did our 990 every [00:10:40] year for two years which you know most people don't do a 990 within the first [00:10:45] five years. They just do like a postcard for the IRS. But we did so [00:10:50] much in such a short amount of time, we had to do a 990, and it was [00:10:55] 99.5% of everything we brought in went back out. A [00:11:00] half of percent was used for administrative costs so like a lawyer [00:11:05] or the accountant. You know like these are things that you can't avoid. you know? George Wright III: What did you have to [00:11:10] change like when you decided to bite this off? 'Cause you're a pretty busy guy as it is. What did you have to change? 'Cause I think a lot of [00:11:15] people are like, Look I would like to do more to serve others to serve my [00:11:20] passion to help and give back, but where do I find the time? How did you adjust your schedule to be able [00:11:25] to make that happen? Anthony Suppa: You gotta just incorporate these things into your daily life. You know like [00:11:30] again if you wanna do this world if you wanna in my opinion you wanna be an entrepreneur [00:11:35] you wanna be a business person there's not [00:11:40] real time off. People don't understand that. You know, someone will be like Oh you weren't at the restaurant for two days. [00:11:45] What'd you go on vacation? Like no I wasn't at the restaurant but that doesn't mean I'm not [00:11:50] working. I'm constantly working. Oh, every minute of my day is work, you know? And [00:11:55] it's a good thing and a bad thing, you know? Like for your family life, you do have to [00:12:00] learn to separate at certain times which is hard to do but you do [00:12:05] have to take the time for your family. It's not fair for them either. So you know that's why [00:12:10] incorporating it into your daily life is part of working. When you're out with friends, you're at a [00:12:15] restaurant you're at a farm whatever it may be you're camping you just start talking about things and you bring it up. [00:12:20] And that might not be hard work but you gotta turn your brain on and you gotta work [00:12:25] and you gotta express yourself properly to who you're speaking with and to get their [00:12:30] attention. George Wright III: Yeah. It's interesting the way you think as well, and I find this with a lot of really [00:12:35] successful entrepreneurs. Before the show, we talked a little bit about why you started [00:12:40] a company that you're really starting to grow now with Veteran Ally for Commerce. You said, "I did it because I also [00:12:45] wanted to be able to drive the charitable donations to my charity rather than just [00:12:50] rely on donations." Help me understand why you wanted to do that. Like because that's a real [00:12:55] like "I'm gonna now take the ball in my hands and drive this charity in addition to [00:13:00] the succe-," 'cause you guys are growing substantially with the charity. What made you decide to do that [00:13:05] and there again, bite something else Anthony Suppa: Ah again. Um 'cause I think that in one [00:13:10] hand it'll relieve certain pressure where if I don't have to be [00:13:15] so reliant on other people just giving me donations or [00:13:20] giving the charity donations, which I don't like to ask for. I'm like, I told you earlier, I don't like to be [00:13:25] like, "Hey, can you donate $5, $10?" Like, I do a lot of events. [00:13:30] So, you know, we'll try to put something together where you're getting an experience with your friends, your family, your [00:13:35] kids, whoever it may be, where you're donating money technically, but you're buying, [00:13:40] we'll say, a ticket to something and at least again, you're getting something for your money. With [00:13:45] Veterans Alley for Commerce, we're using the profits to really drive the charity [00:13:50] so that, again, we don't have to depend on grants, we don't have to depend on fundraising. It's just a [00:13:55] bloodline for the charity George Wright III: You've got a pretty interesting journey, and that's [00:14:00] one of the reasons why I wanted you to... You know, besides the charity itself, but from the Marine Corps to [00:14:05] hospitality and restaurant to food to charity, driving events I [00:14:10] always like to ask really successful entrepreneurs what your unique talent is and what you, looking [00:14:15] back now, you know, Wayne Dyer says looking back on the tapestry of your life, you kinda take on different meaning. What is [00:14:20] it that you find is your highlights and unique talent that you really have doubled down [00:14:25] on? Because I'm sure it's changed over time too, right? Anthony Suppa: Yeah. I mean, I think people [00:14:30] say people need to have a vision, right? So I see something [00:14:35] and I have a vision in my mind of what this could be. I mean, everyone always says to me a couple different [00:14:40] things like, " you dream so big. Everything is big that you wanna do." I'm like, [00:14:45] "Well, I, I'm not gonna shoot for something small. I'll shoot for something really big, and if I fall in [00:14:50] between, great. If I don't and I failed, I learned something. And if I did hit that [00:14:55] mark, well, guess what? Now I wanna get to the next mark." 'Cause even if I dreamt to be, you know, the [00:15:00] president of the United States, there's gotta be something higher and better than that. ​[00:15:05] Anthony Suppa: [00:15:10] Um, but also being able to multitask, being able to wake up every day exhausted and just [00:15:15] continue to grind is something that a lot of people have [00:15:20] said to me, like, again, like, "You, you, you put the stress on yourself. You take [00:15:25] these things and you put them on yourself. You constantly are taking more things to do on a daily [00:15:30] basis, and you just don't you know, you don't stop." And I, I can't- George Wright III: [00:15:35] It's a good quality though because I think people that are successful want more of [00:15:40] that, so they just wanna grow more to be able to handle more rather than take stuff off their [00:15:45] plate, right? Anthony Suppa: Well I think so. You wanna take certain things off of your plate so that [00:15:50] you're in order to grow whatever you're creating. One thing that I've explained to, or not [00:15:55] explained, but expressed to partners and things of that nature, if you lock yourself in a [00:16:00] position in your business as somebody that you are paying let's just say [00:16:05] you know minimum wage a kid to do if you're locked in that position because you [00:16:10] gotta oversee exactly what they're doing, where you're basically that same position, [00:16:15] you're never gonna grow. You're just a counter person in a pizzeria where it's not a [00:16:20] bad thing, but from an entrepreneur standpoint, like, that's not how you grow. [00:16:25] That's not how you you know get bigger and you know with Slice of Charity you can help more [00:16:30] people. You've gotta be out there. You've gotta put the responsibilities of certain [00:16:35] things on certain people and you have to accept that you're not gonna have that [00:16:40] control George Wright III: And I think, it's always a little different for everybody, but there's a point where [00:16:45] entrepreneurs, business owners hit a level of success that I believe they can only surpass [00:16:50] when they start to focus on success outside them and their business, which is that [00:16:55] service and relationships and things as well. Would you agree? Anthony Suppa: Yeah, I agree 100% because, I mean, [00:17:00] networking is key obviously, and with networking you have to [00:17:05] step away from what you're doing to get into that room. So, you know, [00:17:10] it's definitely important George Wright III: Yeah, I love it. Well, is there, before we take off here, is there any advice you'd give [00:17:15] to An entrepreneur or business owner that's like, "Look, I want to [00:17:20] grow, and I want to take on more, and I, I wanna... I have a big vision. Um, [00:17:25] I just don't know if I can do more. I just don't know if I can do it." Or is there any advice you would give to somebody? 'Cause you, you [00:17:30] definitely are someone who I believe continues to expand and grow [00:17:35] in your opportunities as well as your impact Anthony Suppa: Two things. One, just do it. You'll figure it [00:17:40] out. Just do it. Small steps will bring you into [00:17:45] larger strides. And the other thing is, I truly believe this 'cause this is [00:17:50] like almost like my obsession is, don't get that high from somebody else's [00:17:55] success. Get the high from your own success, whether starting off small [00:18:00] again get on that phone call, get on that email, you know just reach out [00:18:05] and what do you need to get to succeed, right? Don't be afraid for somebody to tell you [00:18:10] no or brush you off. And if they do either go on to the next or [00:18:15] don't take no. Say, "Oh, okay," and then reach out to them again. And it comes down to [00:18:20] having your own wins you know small or large whatever they may be. Have your [00:18:25] own wins. Don't go off of other people's wins and that, that's George Wright III: Yeah. [00:18:30] Yeah, that's good advice because I think so many people are looking for that outside recognition. And [00:18:35] not only that, but you're not gonna increase your own self-worth, confidence, and self-esteem by needing that [00:18:40] outside validation or wins. You gotta find it yourself. So I like that. I like that a lot. So [00:18:45] Anthony, where's the best way for people to connect with you, check out Slice of Charity, and kinda learn a little bit [00:18:50] more? Anthony Suppa: I mean, slicecharity.org if you want a little bit of more background information in what we're [00:18:55] doing and what we've done. But the best bet is to follow us on Instagram [00:19:00] because our Slice Charity Instagram kind of shows everything we're doing, every event we're having, [00:19:05] every delivery we're doing or the cause, and you just really get the inside [00:19:10] scoop of what's going on a weekly daily basis and you know, what what's coming [00:19:15] next, so to speak. George Wright III: Yeah. Well, we'll put links in the show notes 'cause you're going into a busy time of year too, [00:19:20] especially if you're doing charitable donations and toys, toy drives, and Anthony Suppa: I am. And "M*A*S*H" is in the same [00:19:25] exact busy time, which is crazy George Wright III: know, man. It's gonna be nuts. Especially... And restaurants and everything. So, [00:19:30] well, listen, I appreciate you joining us, man. I enjoy the conversation. I think people will learn as well and be [00:19:35] inspired by your drive. So guys if you're listening to this do me a favor share the show. It'd mean [00:19:40] the world to us. I also really truly believe that it's never too late to start creating the life you're meant to [00:19:45] live and you can grow and you can expand your vision and you can do what it takes. You have it in you. Most of us are [00:19:50] operating at like 40%, so you got a lot more in you so push yourself and I look forward to talking with you [00:19:55] again soon. Once again, this is George Wright III with Anthony Supa and we'll talk to you then. ​[00:20:00] [00:20:05]
