We had the good fortune of connecting with Antoine Allen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Antoine, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
It’s so many. But the one thing that keeps me on this incredible journey is my faith in myself. So many people don’t reach their full potential because they let their fears and insecurity’s put limitation on their dreams in life. I use to be that person until I realize that I do not want to be that’ll old man full of regrets.
