Crowned by the press as the $2 Billion Dollar Host, she was determined to reach her goals — and through dedication, never ending passion and hard work, she has.

INFLUENCE IN ACTION™ GAINS PROVEN RESULTS AND DRIVES SALES provides readers with everything they need to REACH #1 in their industry.
This revolutionary book not only tells business owners and professionals how to accomplish more with their work and business; it provides them with the means to accomplish everything they ever wanted to accomplish.
All that they have to do is to leverage their INFLUENCE by putting their INFLUENCE IN ACTION™.
In this innovative series, Smith details how he set records at Fortune 500 Companies, such as Mobil Oil, Coca-Cola USA, John Hancock and New York Life. He not only shows readers how to reach #1 rankings in their industry; Smith provides them with all of the tools they need to get the job done.
After reaching #1 worldwide production rankings at Mutual of New York (MONY), The Equitable Life Assurance Society, and AXA Financial, Smith was severely injured in a not-at-fault auto accident and was forced to close his thriving financial practice. While recovering, Smith began consulting other advisors in professionals in how to dramatically improve their businesses.
After dozens of neurosurgeons agreed that Smith was likely to spend the second half of his life in a wheelchair, he decided to do what he always counseled his children to do. 'Always expect the best after you've prepared for the worst.'
In preparing for the worst, Smith completed two online degree programs simultaneously, just in case his inability to walk without support ever became permanent. While completing his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree as Valedictorian at Full Sail University, he completed his Feature Film Writing degree 'With Distinction,' at the top of his class at UCLA.
The east and west coast story structure learned during this time led to the evolution of THE ADVENTURES OF INSURANCEMAN™ marketing and sales comic, which was an offspring of the story that Smith created to place a multi-million dollar estate planning case and earn a single day commission of $110,000.00. This new sales comic is available for licensing to all qualified financial advisors to that they may optimally provide for and support their clients. Smith has similar work available for nearly every industry with more on the horizon.

After raising millions of dollars for charity in his financial practice, Smith moved his charitable work directly to both public and private schools. He created his SHORT ATTENTION SPAN DAN™ comic book series to teach elementary school children his proprietary method, WRITING MADE EASY FOR YOUNG AUTHORS (AND TEACHERS) to not only teach them writing skills and build confidence for life, it teaches them to speak in public with ease as well. Smith's grown children, Ashley, Austin, and Sabrina, are also published authors, as well.
Smith also mentors middle school, high school, undergraduate, graduate, and medical students in Entrepreneurship. Just last spring, two of his mentees won the top financial prizes in their regional and statewide competitions within a 24-hour period. His methods are noted in INFLUENCE IN ACTION™ BRINGS MORE BUSINESS TO ENTREPRENEURS which features a Foreword written by the love of his life, Sharon L. Roznowski, M.Ed., with chapters by Anish Verma and Leelan Rodriguez.

Bill O'Reilly Predicts Stephen Colbert ‘Won't Last ‘Til May,' Foresees Shakeup at ‘The View': ‘She's Gone'
The 'No Spin News' host also says the 'Late Show' host "censored" the guest list – "unless you hate Trump" Bill O'Reilly says for years Stephen Colbert 'censored' his guest list to Trump-haters only, part of a broader bias at CBS, which wouldn't book the bestselling author because of his conservative politics – not that any of it matters now. The 'No Spin News' host said in separate segments this week that Colbert won't last until May, as new, 'more conservative' ownership begins to grab hold. But O'Reilly said the pictures is much bigger than Skydance, whose impending Paramount takeover is part of a broader sweep through corporate media that he predicted would also lead to a big shakeup on ABC's 'The View.'

He's through,' the former Fox News host said. 'They say his show will be on till May. It won't. … What sunk him was not just his vitriolic approach to Trump. He censored his program. You could not get on his program unless you hated Trump.' O'Reilly said he'd logged 75 late-night appearances over the years – including with David Letterman, Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel – but that Colbert wouldn't have him. 'I did actually appear with Colbert way, way back one time,' O'Reilly noted. 'But Colbert would never invite anybody who didn't hate Trump.' That went broadly for CBS, O'Reilly said – despite that he's sold millions of books with several No. 1 debuts for historical nonfiction titles like 'Killing Lincoln' and 'Killing Kennedy,' he just couldn't get booked on the network. '[Jane] Pauley wouldn't put us on, and I emailed her directly,' O'Reilly said. 'Didn't even consider it.' In a separate segment, O'Reilly said all four networks – CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox – are changing dramatically because of Trump, predicting a major shakeup at 'The View.' 'Joy Behar is a hater,' he said of the 'View' panelist. 'No doubt about it. And she's going — by the way, not going to be around much longer. And this [Anna] Navarro woman, she's going, too. Disney's going to have to revamp that whole thing.' Watch both segments in the videos above.
