12th Annual Leadership Summit: March 21

An extremely accomplished Entrepreneur, Author, Teacher, Mindset and Small Business Coach, Ian grew up on the eastside of Detroit without money or connections. He achieved his dream of building a multi-million-dollar business at 26. From there, Ian raised millions in capital, launched multiple businesses, and helped thousands of business owners, leaders, and investors to transform their thinking and business approach to achieve their goals.

He has trained and coached clients in over 40 states in the US and in many countries around the world, including China, Hong Kong, Canada, The United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. Ian has worked in 20+ industries. And, though he loves small businesses, he also provides consulting for multi-billion-dollar companies.

In service of his mission to “Build Businesses that Bless the World,” Ian founded his dream company, SB (Small Business) Dream Coach, to “be what he didn’t see” as a young minority business owner. He has shared the stage with world renown speakers such as Eric “E.T.” Thomas (The Hip Hop Preacher), Stormy Wellington, Dr. Sabrina Black, Christopher W. Brooks, Jacqueline Baker, and Arel Moodie (Disney+ Host).
