  Michail Antonio wants you to know what it actually feels like to earn a living from playing professional football. 
  'Humans Not Robots is fantastic … brilliant … eye-opening … enjoyable' The Sunday Times 
  'Not since Tony Cascarino's seminal Full Time, which is now 26 years old, have I read a player's memoir that so successfully shows that footballers are just people too.' Jonathan Northcroft, The Sunday Times 
  Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment. 
  He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world? 
  With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities. 
  He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider. 
  More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots. 
  This non-fiction autobiography and biography of a soccer professional is a cultural and social look at what happens when recreation becomes a job, and the pressure never lets up. It also confronts discrimination and the dehumanising noise around performance, insisting on the truth that players are people first.

  No Filter - From Skateboard Kid...

  This audiobook was created for those who struggle to comprehend reading or simply don’t have time to sit with a book — a lifeline for anyone walking through silence and darkness. 
  No Filter is a fearless, uncut memoir from Retired Sergeant First Class William Alfred Stephens Jr., who went from skateboards and struggle to soldier, survivor, and entrepreneur. Told with brutal honesty and spoken-word rhythm, it captures the transformation from military service to mental health advocacy — and from silence to leadership. 
  At its core, No Filter is more than a story — it’s a mission. A call to protect new authors from predatory “funnel” scams, fake marketers, and manipulative publishing traps. Through his own healing, Stevo uses 1821 Productions to expose deception, uplift truth, and empower real storytellers to find their voice. 
  This award-winning continuation of The Broken Mirror reminds listeners that real strength comes from transparency, purpose, and community. The narrator’s dynamic highs and lows don’t just tell the story — they breathe life into every crack in the mirror and every piece that’s fallen to the floor. 
  It’s not about royalties. It’s about reaching one person who needs to hear it. 
  Because even in a world full of filters — truth still cuts through.
