His expertise has earned him a prestigious role as a Special Advisor to the White House Chairman for the President’s Cancer Panel (for two consecutive administrations), while also serving on the board of the esteemed American Society of Breast Surgeons.
At the start of the pandemic, when everyone was quarantined in their homes, Tony Robbins hired Todd to train 1,500 of his salespeople across 105 of his businesses on how to sell faster using video. During this critical time, Tony’s revenue went through the roof and he pushed Todd out on to his stage to teach his strategies to his clients.

Growing up, Todd struggled with dyslexia and attention disorders. In middle school, he overheard his guidance counselor telling his parents, “You’ll be lucky if he graduates from high school, but college is out of the question.”
Fast forward to today, Todd is a proud alumnus of the University of Arizona and a member of the SALT Center advisory board — the University of Arizona’s academic support program for students with learning disabilities and attention disorders. His story is an inspiring example, that with the right guidance and mindset, anyone can overcome adversity and serve others.
Todd’s career success started in 1999 when he was a talk show host on the #1 radio station in Arizona. Trailblazing in content marketing and search engine optimization, his first website went crazy viral, generating 36 million visitors a year on $0 ad-spend and a career was born.
From 2003 to 2007, Todd led digital marketing campaigns for seven of the largest nationally syndicated talk shows at ClearChannel & iHeart Radio. Looking at iHeart Radio’s analytic databases of 100 million viewers, he noticed video was outperforming all other forms of web media.
Recognizing something revolutionary was happening online, Todd’s early prioritization of video as a business tool catapulted his career as a digital marketer, agency owner, and keynote speaker.
