Dr. Brian Smith resides in Algonquin, Illinois with his beautiful wife of 30 years, René, and their two dogs, Maizy and Moose. During the workday, Brian immerses himself in finding business solutions to help his clients succeed (and sometimes this work takes him to riveting locations around the world). His thirty years of business consulting expertise are why many prestigious companies seek his authority on their path to success. Raising a family, starting over 50 successful companies, developing teams, and influencing over eighteen thousand clients in his lifetime has brought Brian prosperity. When he isn’t traveling around the globe, Brian enjoys his time reading, cooking, riding his Sea-Doo, being with his children, and spending time with René.

You’d be surprised how far that gets you.”
