Sam Davidson

PRESIDENT & CO-FOUNDER

After a stint in the nonprofit world, where he specialized in starting and implementing new programs, his budding entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found Cool People Care in 2006. He currently serves as the company’s president, and is a sought-after keynote speaker at conferences, colleges, and companies.

In 2007, Sam wrote his first book, New Day Revolution: How to Save the World in 24 Hours. In 2010, 50 Things Your Life Doesn’t Need hit store shelves, which helps people find their passion and begin to live a life full of it. He followed that up in 2011 with Simplify Your Life: How to de-clutter and de-stress your way to happiness.

Sam is a sought-after keynote speaker and conference leader. Recent speaking engagements have included The YMCA of the USA’s General Assembly, The International Institute for Education’s Foreign Fulbright Program, The Center for Nonprofit Management, and The Young Nonprofit Professional Network.

He also appears frequently on TV, in print, and on radio as a resource and expert when it comes to Generation Y, philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, and community leadership. Recent interviews and appearances have included The USA Today, Minnesota Public Radio, Ode Magazine, and Vocalo. In 2011, The Chronicle of Philanthropy named Davidson one of the Top 10 New Nonprofit Voices.

Sam has been married for eight years. He lives in the heart of Nashville, where he grew up (but never thought he’d end up post-college). He makes time to have brunch with his wife, new daughter, parents, and sisters each Sunday morning.
