David Miln Smith, The Man of Adventure
Motivational Speaker, Explorer, and Author
David Miln Smith is a multi-faceted entrepreneur. Few others, if any, have the wide variety, diversity and longevity of athletic adventures in the most exotic and sacred places on the planet.
Most athletes and adventurers hone specific skills to high level excellence. While confidence comes from skill, courage comes from learning to manage fear in first-time experiences. Smith has faced that kind of fear. He’s literally put his life on the line, many times, and along the way become an authority on managing fear and overcoming self-imposed limits.
Dr. David Miln Smith has traveled to more places than most of us even know exist. He is one of those natural explorers who not only spin yarns of exotic foreign places but also connects them with internal truths. For those who hear him speak or read his books, he can stretch their mind in new directions.

The Risk Taker
Risk taking is invaluable as an everyday tactic, not just an occasional strategy. Today’s business environment is like perpetual white-water. Navigating rapids of change requires risk oriented management skills. David teaches how to convert the fear of change from an enemy to an ally, and reframes risk from aversion to excitement.
