Anthony Flynn

Atlanta - Founder of AmazingCEO

When we asked him about his dream car, Anthony Flynn at first answered “Tesla.” But then he realized that he was planning to get one, and fairly soon. So for now, as far as vehicles a little further along the road, put him down for a Rolls Royce Phantom. That’s lucky for his kids: his favorite weekend chore is carpooling them around. With a Bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Memphis, and a Master’s in religion from Memphis Theologival Seminary, Flynn is the founder of AmazingCEO, a consulting firm that, he says, “teams up with CEOs and key executives to make an impact in the world through both business and non-profit sectors.” His favorite sport to play? Badminton.

I was born to a teenage mother in poverty in Memphis, TN. The life I lived growing up empowered me in so many ways and because of it, I have developed a passion and love for fighting for the underdog!
