Our Story

We're Building a World Where More People Can Build Together

POP Life Global grew from a lesson Tony Pitts learned through years of building, losing, rebuilding, and growing businesses: entrepreneurship was never meant to be a solo journey.

Today, Tony and Teasha Pitts bring their strengths together to turn that lesson into entrepreneurship education, relationships, and pathways to economic empowerment.

The Beginning

A BETTER Way to Build

Tony has spent more than 35 years as an entrepreneur across real estate, construction, retail, entertainment, and other industries. He knows the excitement of a new idea and the weight of trying to carry every part of it yourself.

His journey has also included difficult setbacks. At one point, he experienced homelessness. As he rebuilt, relationships opened opportunities he could not have created alone. Those experiences reshaped how he understood business and became the foundation of POP! The Power of Partnerships.

Teasha brought her own entrepreneurial experience and vision to the work. Together, they began building a platform that puts the partnership philosophy into practice for people at different stages of life and business.

35+ years. One lesson.

The Power of Partnerships

One Partnership Can Change a Life

The right partnerships can change a business. Enough partnerships can change a community. A partnership culture can change the world.

To us, partnership means recognizing the value in other people and the value you have to offer. It means listening, doing the work, keeping your commitments, and creating opportunities that grow stronger when they are shared.

That is what we teach, how we work, and the culture we want to carry around the globe.
