Anthony Woods
Entrepreneur, Inventor and Polymath Speaker
A hugely successful Irish entrepreneur, Anthony began his business career at the tender age of 6 when he liberated produce from his parents vegetable
garden and sold it on the side of a busy road without their permission. Unfortunately this business was shut down after a few hours by his mother for health & safety reasons!
Having toured America as a musician he returned to Ireland aged 21 where he joined a major insurance company and became the #1 sales person out of 600 within 6 months. He was soon headhunted to another insurance firm where he smashed every sales record they ever had before leaving to start his own business in a dusty attic with one phone, no money and a dream.
Despite countless tough lessons and heartbreaks this business grew 2,100% during the great recession & continued to grow at an incredible rate for a
decade. He sold that business in a multi million deal having first built it to run without him – a rare skill that he teaches entrepreneurs & business owners all over the world.
Anthony is also the inventor & founder of Supersoil – one of the fastest growing companies on the planet. Supersoil is a ground breaking invention that enriches the soil & helps cool the planet by drawing down carbon from the atmosphere. This extraordinary Irish invention has been described as one of the most innovative products of a generation.
Having started, scaled & sold multi million businesses, Anthony is one of the few business teachers on the planet who has actually done it in the real world & has the scars to prove it. Not one to take himself too seriously, his teaching style is a powerful blend of simple truths, powerful tools & inspirational stories.
A highly creative & original thinker, Anthony has personally developed hundreds of unique business & personal success tools that literally transform peoples lives. His unique original material has been taught to global banks, accounting firms & thousands of entrepreneurs with astonishing results.
Anthony is one of the few polymaths on the planet – a lifelong encyclopedic learner who devours knowledge at a ferocious rate & has studied thousands of subjects in depth giving him a great overview effect. He possesses that very rare ability to make even the most complicated of subjects simple.
His life’s mission is to build the Worlds Best University.
