About Your Dallas Keynote Speaker
Michael Anthony is a DFW-based public speaker, author, coach, and advocate for trauma survivors. As the founder of Think Unbroken, he has built a global brand from Dallas — helping individuals and organizations overcome adversity through radical accountability. His personal journey from homelessness and childhood trauma to becoming one of America's most sought-after speakers resonates deeply with Dallas's results-driven business community.
Owner in multiple companies exceeding $30 million in revenue. From managing 50+ employees at 18 to scaling multimillion‑dollar enterprises, Michael brings deep expertise in sales, marketing, operations, and growth strategy.
Founded in 2016, Think Unbroken became a multi‑seven‑figure mental‑health education and coaching company serving 3,000+ paying clients. Michael's bestselling book has sold 30,000+ copies.
The Think Unbroken Podcast is a top‑ranked global show with millions of downloads, generating over $500K in direct revenue. Guests include Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Caroline Leaf, Tom Bilyeu, and David Meltzer.

Michael's primary ongoing project—a community for executives, leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners to navigate the mental health pressures of business, learn practical growth tools, and celebrate wins.
Dallas event planners trust Michael because he delivers more than inspiration — he delivers transformation. His trauma-informed leadership framework gives DFW teams the tools to build resilience, drive accountability, and achieve breakthrough results.
Dallas-Fort Worth has become one of America's most competitive business environments. With over 20 Fortune 500 headquarters calling DFW home—more than any region except New York—the pressure on leaders has never been higher. Add in the influx of California transplants bringing both talent and expectations, and you have a corporate landscape where yesterday's success strategies no longer guarantee tomorrow's survival.
The executives, managers, and teams filling seats at the Omni Dallas, the Gaylord Texan, and the Fort Worth Convention Center aren't looking for another motivational speaker who tells them to "dream big" and "believe in themselves." They've heard that talk. What they need is a speaker who has actually rebuilt from zero—someone who understands that real transformation happens when you stop waiting for permission and start taking radical ownership of your outcomes.
That's the message Michael brings to DFW stages. Not theory. Not platitudes. A battle-tested framework for turning the obstacles your organization faces into the advantages that separate market leaders from the pack.
After building Think Unbroken into a global brand with millions of podcast downloads and speaking engagements across four continents, Michael deliberately chose Dallas-Fort Worth as his headquarters. The reason is simple: DFW represents the intersection of ambition, opportunity, and authentic grit that defines his message.
Growing up homeless, in foster care, and surviving experiences that break most people, Michael rebuilt his life through radical accountability—the same accountability that built the Texas business empire. From Ross Perot to Mark Cuban, Dallas has always celebrated entrepreneurs who refuse to accept limitations. Michael's story fits that legacy perfectly.
Today, he serves as a trusted voice for organizations throughout the Metroplex, from downtown Dallas corporate towers to Fort Worth's thriving business district, from Plano's corporate campuses to Irving's convention centers.
From intimate executive retreats to arena-sized corporate gatherings, every DFW engagement is tailored to your organization's specific challenges.
