By: Anton Dabbs

Narrated by: Ben Hauck

How a mechanic rose above poverty and chronic anxiety to build a national enterprise and found peace with himself and his past in the process. Prepare to embark on a journey of emotions. This must-listen memoir explores the resilience of the human spirit. I literally could not stop reading From Turmoil to Triumph.

In this gripping real-life story, Anton seamlessly weaves his memories about his unstable childhood and adolescence, full of unimaginable challenges, with his self-determination and self-discovery that eventually change his life for the better. Anton's honesty, introspection, and openness about his past and about his mental health jour. You have a silver tongue and can sell anybody anything. That's what Anton was told by his family from a very early age.

Born in Saint Paul to poverty, volatility, and instability, Anton learned at an early age how to harness his talents and utilize his skills to his advantage and build a "bad boy" persona. By his early twenties, something deep inside told him his choices were harming too many people, leading him down a path to either prison or an early death. He decided to turn his life around. He stopped taking and started giving.

Today, his life embodies what has become his three core values:

GENEROSITY. HARD WORK. FAMILY.

While it may not seem so from the outside, Anton has struggled with anxiety and autism his entire life. He knew that unless he wrangled it and got it under control, he could never build the kind of business and life of his dreams.

Anton Dabbs is living proof that while things such as anxiety and autism can never be conquered, they CAN be managed. He has pulled himself up out of poverty and built a nationwide company that has led to a better life for his family, his employees, and himself.
