ABOUT SCOTT
Scott Anthony isn’t just another true crime author — he lived it. Born and bred in the streets of Chicago, Scott came up fast and hard, learning the game from the inside. He didn’t just flirt with crime — he made it a career. From drug dealing and violent robberies in the ’80s to high-level Cuban cigar smuggling in the ’90s, his life reads like a movie script… except every word is true.
After fleeing the country to avoid arrest, Scott lived five years on the run — rebuilding his life with fake names, forged papers, and a brain built for survival. Now a husband, father of eight, reformed outlaw, and established businessman, he’s using his past to write the kind of stories mainstream publishing is too scared to touch.

SMOKE IS THE TRUE STORY YOU WON'T BELIEVE —
CUBAN CIGARS, HIGH-STAKES SMUGGLING,
AND ONE MAN'S WILD RIDE FROM THE STREETS TO SURVIVAL.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Scott Anthony’s first book, Smoke: Confessions of a Cuban Cigar Smuggler, drops readers straight into the Havana underworld — raw, detailed, and unforgettable. But that’s just the beginning. Encouraged by people close to him, Scott went all in and wrote three more books — laying out his full story, no filters, no masks. Not to brag. Not to glorify. But because it needed to be told.
Scott is brutally honest, unapologetically real, and has nothing left to hide. When he speaks, he’s not telling war stories — he’s delivering a street education.

WORK IN PROGRESS...
If you think this story is crazy, wait until you read what’s coming after Smoke…
Currently putting the finishing touches of my next books, where I share more about my journey of life, with many more true stories you won't believe.

![What does a 1,525 lb leg press and an American Gladiator have in common? ⚡️
I want to start today by honoring a legend, my late friend, and American Gladiator: Billy "Thunder" Smith. If you grew up in the 80s, you know the Gladiators were the peak of human performance. I had the absolute privilege of studying nutrition and training side-by-side with Billy. He wasn't just an athlete; he was a "mad scientist" of human optimization.
In this video, I’m showing you a piece of history: Billy’s actual competition uniform and the knee brace that ripped open when he was leg pressing over 1,500 pounds! 💥
Billy and I co-designed some of the most advanced training platforms used in Gold’s Gym, focusing on the specific angles and bio-mechanics that change the game for your body.
Everything I learned from Billy—the passion, the "unheard of" nutritional secrets, and the science of Intrafitt—is what I live and breathe today.
I’ve distilled decades of this elite-level knowledge into a system that actually works for the long haul. If you're ready to stop guessing and start training with the wisdom of the greats:

![Are You Chasing the Light or Avoiding the Shadow? 🌑✨
Do you ever feel like the world only sees your "mask"? We all strive for success, but few talk about the heavy burden that comes with it. Whether it's the pressure of being famous like my friend El Vampiro (@vampirovudu ) or the silent battles we face in our daily lives, the weight of expectations can lead to a breaking point.
Imagine living a life that feels like a constant performance, where your true self is buried under layers of past trauma and "organized" chaos. It’s exhausting, isn't it? That feeling of having everything but feeling like you’re losing yourself in the process.
It’s time to rewrite your finish.
Scott Anthony has been there, lived through the fire, and come out with a philosophy that transcends the "doll" version of ourselves. His journey isn't just about wrestling or fame; it's about the raw, unfiltered truth of human development and recovery.
📖 Discover the path to your own transformation.
