About Anthony
Meet Anthony Armstrong
– a self-described entrepreneur and farmer who's mastered the art of reinvention. After six seasons in the NFL catching passes for Washington, Miami, and Dallas – including a rookie campaign that still ranks third all-time in Washington franchise history – Anthony discovered his college career placement exam had him pegged all along. Twice it told him he was destined to be a farmer and entrepreneur. He even tried changing his answers the second time, but destiny doesn't negotiate.
Today, Anthony brings that same mindset and passion to everything he touches. For 11 years, he's been one of real estate's most dynamic voices, creating the most educated buyers and sellers while serving everyone from first-time homebuyers to celebrity clients. As a certified personal trainer and group fitness leader for eight years, he knows what it takes to push through barriers. As host of BLEAV in Commanders for the past three years and a sought-after speaker, he's become the go-to guide for professionals navigating career transitions.
His 4D Hustler's Playbook – Destination, Decisions, Desires, and Delivery – gives people the play to confidently move forward into uncertainty and embrace the uncomfortable journey of reinvention. Whether he's growing tomatoes and strawberries in his backyard garden (yes, the career test was right), commanding the stage as an emcee, or sharing hard-won wisdom about those crucial three years it takes to truly transition from one identity to another, Anthony brings an optimistic, supportive, and hilariously honest perspective that makes you believe anything is possible.
Because if a guy who spent Sundays catching footballs can become a successful realtor, fitness leader, podcaster, speaker, and urban farmer, what's your excuse?
