Sam Davidson is a speaker, author, and entrepreneur who tells stories that need telling in order to motivate others to change the things that need changing. In 2006, he founded Cool People Care, a media and merchandise company that has leveraged new technology to connect thousands of individuals to causes and nonprofits in local communities. Cool People Care’s line of eco-friendly and cause- related merchandise has raised over $125,000 for causes ranging from disaster relief to hunger awareness.

He has since gone on to co-found three additional companies, the most recent of which is Batch, a regional gift and retail company that connects entrepreneurs with new customers. Due to the company’s success, Davidson has twice been named a “Most Admired CEO” by the Nashville Business Journal. Both Davidson and his companies have appeared in numerous media outlets, including The New York Times, Southern Living, The Boston Globe, NPR, and USA Today.

A sought-after speaker, he frequently speaks on topics such as leadership, entrepreneurship, and community service to audiences at colleges and conferences around the United States. He is the author of three books: New Day Revolution, 50 Things Your Life Doesn’t Need, and Simplify Your Life. He graduated from Samford University and lives in Nashville with his family.

Davidson’s speaking style is high-energy, engaging, informing, and motivating. Whether speaking to five people or 5,000, Davidson reels audiences in with humor and captivating storytelling while leaving them with valuable, memorable lessons that are immediately applicable. Often, he gets his audiences moving as well, asking them to share and collaborate with a neighbor. Doing so allows each attendee an even deeper perspective during his time on stage.

He has spoken over 500 times to companies, conventions, churches, and colleges. No topic is off limits and time and again, Sam is able to make sure attendees remember what he says long after he stops talking. He is professional, dedicated, and thorough in his preparation and delivery. You'll never regret using Sam at your event.

Sam prides himself on being low-maintenance. Just give him a mic if the room is big, a projector (and screen), and point him toward the stage.
