Leading a panel discussion on startups

Overview

Over 30 years as a tech entrepreneur, I launched 4 startups, with 3 successful exits and 1 failure. My greatest lessons came from overcoming challenges, not victories. Rooted in Christian values and a South Carolina farm upbringing, my faith, work ethic, and marriage fueled my success. Now, as an author, national speaker, consultant, and board member, I advise leaders at Aflac, Chick-fil-A, and others, driving strategy, innovation, and growth. With 180+ corporate and global speaking engagements, I help organizations reject mediocrity, crafting disruptive strategies and teams. My speaking engagements are tailored to your event goals.

Mitch Smith review

Mitch spoke at our annual Chamber of Commerce banquet, and provided local business owners with helpful knowledge and insight from his years of expertise. He has a genuine and heartfelt approach to provide businesses with leadership skills. His wealth of experience and his gift of relating to people are huge qualities that draw the attention of his audience. Many in attendance commented he was the best speaker we’ve ever had, and we’ve had some great ones! We would welcome him back anytime, and I would highly recommend him to any group/ organization that are looking for invaluable leadership direction and motivation to take your business to the next level.
