PETE CANALICHIO   Brand Alive

Are you telling a story that makes your brand come alive in the hearts of those you serve?

Pete is the global authority on brand expansion, a licensing expert, TEDx speaker, and an award-winning author. His goal is to help entrepreneurs learn why brands matter and how to build the platform for their own unique brand because, in part, Pete believes that consumers deserve to be delighted by new and innovative products and services from brands they come to know and love. 

Pete served in the Navy as an aviator and instructor pilot, honing his leadership and decision-making skills as commander of a large multi-engine aircraft and 12-member crew during Cold War tensions. He then earned his MBA at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill before starting his business, Brand Alive.

His company, BrandAlive, helps clients craft and tell their brand story, so their businesses come alive in the hearts of those that experience them. 

In 2022, Pete developed a Brand Strategy Course that guides business owners on building their personal and company brand strategies. Now also a book titled: Your Brand Is A Promise, Pete hopes to reach even more entrepreneurs and individuals looking to build their brands. During the Growth Conference, Pete will share excerpts from his course and book with participants to help them begin their brand-building journey. 

GREG HITCHCOCK   Greg Hitchcock Communications

An Army veteran with over 20 years of journalism, video production, and public relations experience, Greg knows firsthand the challenges transitioning veterans face when leaving service. 

Greg is a disabled veteran, having been rated by the Veterans Administration (VA) for Individual Unemployability (IU) for the last five years. IU is a unique part of the VA's disability compensation program, which allows the VA to pay certain compensation at a 100 percent rate. 

Looking back, Greg sees himself going through this period with a fear of losing his financial safety net.  However, he knew something was missing in his life.  Greg began to explore ways to grow within his experience and give back to others.  He began using his skills, talents, and past experiences as a video producer, journalist, and illustrator and now runs Greg Hitchcock Communications, LLC.  As an entrepreneur, Greg has experienced new successes, including an honorable mention from Full Sail University and the embassies of France for an independent video project for the United Nations. 

Greg’s inspiring message of venturing past fear to create the life and business you want will teach participants a lot about themselves, life, and the value of meaningful work.

Steve believes that ongoing wealth -- better known as true abundance -- is about understanding what really makes you wealthy and then doing the things that intentionally create that in your life. Abundance isn't about the amount of money in your bank account, it is about:   

1. Knowing who you are 

2. Defining who you are meant to serve (your one) 

3. Sharing you with your one 

4. Maximizing while it is called today 

5. Celebrating your victories every day and letting your struggles go

Steve’s message will give attendees an inspired purpose, direction, and renewed hope that what they are doing in this world WILL succeed!
