Create Your Own Wins with Anthony Suppa

George Wright III interviews US Marine Corps veteran and serial entrepreneur Anthony Suppa about applying Marine Corps discipline to restaurant leadership, managing people differently, and using failure as a learning tool rather than a stopping point. Suppa explains that motivation should come from accomplishing goals, not the temporary “high” of speakers, and that entrepreneurs must embrace grind, rejection, and persistence. He shares how years of a Toys for Tots toy drive grew into Slice of Charity after partnering with Oheka Castle and hosting events that drew 1,500 people, fueling a mission to help veterans, military families, and children in need. Suppa emphasizes running the charity with volunteers and minimal admin costs, incorporating work into daily life, delegating to grow, and launching Veteran Ally for Commerce to generate profits that fund the charity without relying on donations or grants.
