Today we’d like to introduce you to Anthony Riley.
Hi Anthony, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
“Let me unfold my journey—a narrative woven with resilience, self-discovery, and an unwavering commitment. On my 15th birthday, an assault at school left a profound impact, concealing a traumatic brain injury until its revelation in 2011, silently influencing my path.
Despite the challenges, music and photography became my solace, guiding me through a non-traditional high school journey, culminating in an early graduation with honors, including a transformative year at Culver Military Academy.
An unexpected pivot emerged when I discovered the therapeutic potential of cannabis. Ohio’s medical cannabis program, supported by specialized doctors, became a sanctuary, alleviating the trials of my traumatic brain injury—easing severe pain, anxiety, and PTSD.
This revelation ignited a purpose. Founding Ohio Cannabis Live aimed to provide Ohio residents a secure space to discuss, learn, and acquire reliable news, information, and resources about cannabis products available in the medical market.
Moreover, in 2022, I founded Another Mastamynd Hit LLC, offering consulting and tech services in a diverse range of topics—a testament to my resilience and dedication to assisting others.
Beyond these commitments, my heart is drawn to the splendor of nature, finding peace amidst waterfalls and cherishing the wonder of animals. My life intertwines with the allure of astrophotography, the embrace of online reading, and an ardent love for movies and TV series across various genres, stemming from my passion as a movie buff. A weakness for M&M’s and green olives adds a touch of indulgence, while filet mignons remain a favorite guilty pleasure.
My fascination with all things related to space extends to watching YouTube videos about spaceships, space rockets, space travel, sci-fi, scientific-related topics, aliens, UFOs, and unexplained phenomena, including paranormal activity and ghosts.
My home is shared with Tina, my steadfast partner since 2007, offering unwavering companionship and support. Our lives were touched by the unexpected arrival of Miracle in 2022, shortly after we mourned the loss of our previous dog, Princess, to cancer a year prior. Miracle’s appearance remains a mystery, showing up out of nowhere, which is why we aptly named her Miracle—a story in itself.
Despite ongoing health challenges, including chronic pancreatitis, my commitment to advocating for fairness and supporting Ohio’s cannabis community remains steadfast. Graduating from the Ohio Media School for TV and Radio Broadcasting in June of 2023, I added another milestone to my story. My journey epitomizes resilience, self-discovery, and an unwavering dedication to a cause beyond myself.”
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Being disabled poor has been a challenge having so many health issues. My loss of my dogs and now a new dog my girlfriend and I were recently in a car accident that was not our fault; she has health issues she is cancer survivor.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
