“Break the cycle. Lead with kindness. And if necessary—punch back with purpose.”
This week on No Street Lights, we welcome Anthony “2 Kind” Waites—a fighter, veteran, and devoted father—who opens up about his transformational journey from military life to intentional fatherhood. Raised in a world where emotional control wasn’t taught, Anthony chose to rewrite the narrative. Now, he’s using every hard-earned lesson to knock out generational trauma and fight for a better future.
In this episode, Anthony shares how he discovered his purpose, how he manages anger and emotions as a parent, and why kindness isn’t weakness—it’s his strongest weapon. His story will hit you with honesty, leave you inspired, and remind you that healing is possible—even for warriors.
