D Grant Smith-Growth Farmer

The best speakers are powerful storytellers. D Grant uses storytelling combined with the use of powerful metaphors and humorous tales to take audiences on an experience that creates both transformation, inspiration, and entertainment.

From metaphors and insights found in gardening, as well as his network of influential creators (in music, media, and other fields), his brand Growth Farming was born. In it, he teaches you and your event attendees how to cultivate, nurture, and grow connections with people for personal and business success.

Being a superhero fan and a highly sensitive person, the storytelling and empathetic nature of his speaking changes the atmosphere of any event or gathering so people truly felt seen and understood. He is big on audience participation so nothing is ever monotonous, boring, or mundane. Audiences will want more as soon as the talk is over.

Becoming the best version of ourselves is what drives D Grant in his work, his writing and storytelling, and in his speaking. Using the power of metaphors to paint a vivid picture in his audiences' imaginations, he delivers more than just an inspirational speech with action steps. He brings you into a closer understanding of the story of your life and the journey you are on in becoming who you are meant to be.

Utilizing his unique blend of empowerment, wit, humor, and inspiration, having a healthy dose of "VitaminDGrant" as your speaker is a truly unique and incredible experience.

Audiences who experience one of his talks leave feeling encouraged, enlightened, educated and entertained. The whole presentation is a fun and enjoyable experience that also makes you feel seen, understood, and empowered to go out and be the best version of yourself.

Looking for your next inspirational speaker, storyteller, and/or emcee? Look no further. The harvest of all three is right here.

Aside from a storied career in media, including being a former syndicated radio host, to collaborations with international best-selling authors, teachers, and coaches, D Grant considers his biggest accomplishment to be overcoming lifelong fear and insecurities to live an empowered and truly transformational life. This transformation is what created his seminal book titled "Be Solid: How To Go Through Hell & Come Out Whole."

Storytelling has always been a part of his work as well, going back to his early days in radio and showcasing the stories of unsigned, independent musicians to doing a litany of journalistic projects covering a wide range of people. Over the past few years, he's used the power of fictional storytelling to harken back to a time in his youth with a fascination with superheroes that brings a whole other side of creative expression to the foray. Bringing all of this together is what makes him a world class teacher, innovative storyteller, and renowned speaker.

It's what he teaches through his Growth Farming practice that incorporates inspirational storytelling into high-powered personal/spiritual growth lessons to bring healing and personal transformation to people, regardless of their background. D Grant has worked with students and individuals of all ages as a tutor, mentor, and coach. He's also spoken to a multitude of different types of audiences from churches to civic institutions to schools to nonprofits to small business seminars and more.

As long as you have a sound person, a microphone and speakers that aren't distorted, we'll be good to go.

But I've also done speeches in places where tech and sound gear weren't present. I may be short and skinny, but I have a big voice. And lots of speaking experience in radio, podcasts, webinars and seminars. If you want your attendees to enjoy themselves and gain something they won't find anywhere else (motivation that takes you to new heights), we can find a way to make the tech stuff work.
