Tony built quite the name for himself before taking on the role of host of MTV’s Couples Retreat. According to Tony’s website, he became an author at 22, a husband and father at 23, and a business owner at 25. However, he is best known as a life coach and motivational speaker.

After founding his company Soul Writers LLC at age 25, the television host’s career skyrocketed. He appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Tyra Banks Show, and TBN's 700 Club.

As an author, life coach, and motivational speaker, Tony’s primary areas of expertise are love and relationships, which “helped him amass millions of followers online.”

But Tony doesn't limit himself to the topic of romance. Several years after his career took off, the Couples Retreat presenter expanded into offering business and entrepreneurship advice. In 2015, he took his career to a new level when he became a team life coach for various NBA teams.

Aside from working with professional basketball teams, the motivational speaker was also a life coach for several college basketball teams. By age 31, Tony had made appearances as a motivational speaker in more than 10 countries.

Throughout his time-honored career, the MTV personality has published 20 distinct works. From Mrs. Right to Single Is Not A Curse to This Is My Year, Tony’s repertoire as an author is nothing to sneeze at.
