Tony Taylor is a Motivational Speaker from Gary Indiana. Tony grew up in an area that was riddled by gangs, violence, drugs, and murders. Tony was instantly drawn to the life of crime. He was told by many adults that he would never evolve and would be dead or in jail before 18. He was drawn to it but it was not for him. As a young man, he was arrested twice.
After the second stint in a juvenile detention center, Tony looked at the tears of disappointment from his only parent. Tony had never seen this look ever!
