WELCOME!
I’m Anthony Porquez. As an entrepreneur who has founded and sold businesses, and as a man who has personally experienced severe burnout, I intimately understand the dark side of 'hustle culture,' especially for high-achieving men.
My journey took a significant turn when my mother fell ill, and my family life started to unravel. Suddenly, I found myself shouldering the responsibility for my parents while already burning the candle at both ends—building a business during the day and bartending at night. It was during my darkest moments, including landing in jail, that I discovered the vital importance of seeking help and investing in myself.
Today, after learning to rebuild myself and receiving invaluable support from those who played a pivotal role in my recovery, I've dedicated myself to guiding and supporting other entrepreneurial-minded men who find themselves in need.
As a multi-certified international men's coach, I've founded Converge Coaching International with a clear goal: to help entrepreneurial men cultivate the mindset and inner resources needed to not only build and scale their businesses but also optimize their personal lives. My mission is to assist men navigating burnout as they reassess, restore, and rebuild the key areas essential for success.

Fact:
A study by the University of Chicago found that men who place a higher value on their careers are more likely to experience burnout and other health problems.
“We have it backward. Many of us prioritize our businesses and careers at the cost of everything else, sacrificing health, relationships, and peace of mind while chasing some imaginary, unattainable brass ring of achievement.
It’s my experience that doing the opposite is more effective. Make yourself and what you truly value your highest priority and your business will grow naturally, authentically, and ultimately thrive. ”

A survey by the American Institute of Stress found that men between the ages of 25-54 are most likely to suffer from burnout.

Bottom line…
“What got you ‘here,’ won’t get you ‘there.’”
We find ourselves in challenging and rapidly changing times, and it's evident that the old ways are no longer effective.
Life appears to be accelerating, growing more unpredictable each day. In a world inundated with information and choices, maintaining our individual paths becomes a formidable task. How do we navigate this complexity to benefit ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world?
As the leaders of tomorrow, achieving success in our endeavors demands awareness, agility, and adaptability. While we may not always control life's events, we possess the ability to manage our attitudes and perceptions, which in turn support positive actions. Conscious and consistent behavior serves as the catalyst for rewiring our brains toward self-mastery. And through self-mastery, we unearth authentic leadership, extending beyond the realms of business into all aspects of existence.
The next level of leadership calls for individuals who can not only lead themselves effectively but also guide others toward positive change. And the world is in desperate need of better leaders.
However, it all starts with you, and the initial step is the willingness to introspect. It requires the courage and honesty to recognize where you are and realize that you don't have to walk this journey alone.
“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
