Introduction Tony Friday sees himself as an overcomer. Born and raised in Oakland, CA he was able to overcome many challenges associated with living in a troubled neighborhood. This included gangs, drugs and other crimes that many of his childhood friends were not able to overcome. Fortified with this experience he has gone on to achieving success as an Operations executive and professional speaker. Because of this experience Tony is uniquely qualified to speak on a myriad of subjects relating to business and leadership development.
