Jamie Minton

Founder

Jamie comes from a family of educators, with an appreciation that learning is a lifelong process. He has a heart for entrepreneurship and expresses it by equipping thought-leaders with the insight and guidance they need to develop impactful training products, meaningful brands, and professional development offerings that inspire today's leader.

He was introduced to the event, speaker/author world, and publishing business when he moved to Atlanta, taking a job working full-time for Dr. John C. Maxwell. There, he helped lead the corporate division for John's company — Maximum Impact — pioneering satellite downlink simulcasts.

To date, Jamie's companies have produced, sold, and created global events, as well as on-demand training platforms and stages that have been graced by some of the greatest communicators of our time.
