Anthony Dodson Biography

Anthony Dodson is the author of "Reaching & Teaching Your Staff" and "Reaching & Teaching Adolescents." He empowers people & organizations with social-emotional learning, financial literacy, burnout, and sales in order to create success and realize transformation.

Dodson is a speaker, certified life coach, father, and change-agent from Aiken, SC, and originally from Richmond, Virginia. He is the author of a 14-book series and curriculum that focuses on financial literacy and intergenerational wealth-building. Overcoming a past fraught with unexpected turns and losses, Anthony serves as an example of resilience and determination.

A Rough Start: Born in Richmond, VA, Anthony Dodson faced challenges early in life due to the incarceration of both parents. Placed under the care of his grandmother in Aiken, SC, he experienced frequent school changes during his youth. Despite the chronic uncertainty, he persevered and graduated from high school at the young age of 16. However, his initial college experience included surprises and complications. Balancing fatherhood and encountering academic setbacks, he decided to return to Aiken, SC, to refocus and recalibrate. Ultimately, he completed his undergrad at USC Upstate, where he pledged Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Trouble in My Way: After college, Dodson moved to Charlotte, NC, where he faced additional challenges, including the loss of a friend to gun violence and unemployment. Despite setbacks, he secured a job at Verizon, developed an interest in real estate and credit repair, and launched his first business aiding consumers in improving their credit. Seeking a better life for his daughter, Anthony relocated to Houston, TX, where he encountered complexities and experienced the loss of another friend to gun violence. This pivotal moment prompted him to take an unconventional path.

Against All Odds: Anthony recommitted to his higher education, earning a master’s in business administration. Afterward, he forged his own path, creating a 14-book series on financial literacy and intergenerational wealth building. Collaborating with his daughter on the project, they challenge the status quo by demonstrating the potential when youth are empowered to grow and contribute to their communities.
