About Me.

Hi, I'm Dwayne K. Sutton.

I was 17 when I discovered that I have an entrepreneurial eye. Meaning, I can easily spot million-dollar opportunities in everyday life. Granted, back then it was more like thousand-dollar opportunities.

Nevertheless, I quickly realized that I had a problem. A big problem. I didn't have a clue how to bring these ideas to life. Sure, I could see them and dream them. But I didn't know how to build them. I felt stuck.

Then, after watching the credits scroll at the end of a TV program, it occurred to me that even a single television show requires the talents of hundreds of people. So it wasn't a matter of HOW but WHO could help me bring these ideas to life.

That was a game changer. All I needed to do was sell my ideas to the right people, in the right way. The best way to do that was through storytelling.

In my typical fashion, I became obsessed with storytelling. I studied movies, books, and brands. From this immersion, I learned that storytelling could do far more than help me sell an idea. It could turn someone's experience into expertise, their expertise into a business, and their name into a brand.

And that's where things got really interesting.

I realized my real superpower was helping people build their brand and using that brand to create million-dollar opportunities.

I've since helped hundreds of recording artists stuck in bad contracts build businesses that earn millions while they sleep. I help college and professional athletes build a platform they own and turn their name, image, and likeness into multiple income streams. I help school teachers create Shopify and Etsy stores that generate a six-figure income selling branded digital products. I help physicians build brands and communities that share their expertise and bring renewed health to people from around the world.

A powerful brand story can do something extraordinary. It can make people want to hire you, refer you, feature you, partner with you, and buy from you.

While I still advise and mentor, today, I spend most of my time writing, speaking, and teaching others how to use storytelling to build a brand and entrepreneurial thinking to own their future.

I'm a published author and bestselling course creator. I've delivered keynote presentations at Duke University, Keller Williams Real Estate, UNC Chapel Hill, Johnson C. Smith University, the University of South Carolina, Marriott, and the Department of Transportation, among many others.

I've completed projects with HBO, Jordan, the NFL Players Association, Universal Music, Columbia Records, Cox Media Group, and the Bryant Gumbel Celebrity Golf Tournament. I'm also a founder, podcast host, and award-winning business educator.

Each week, my work reaches over 440,000 people in 142 countries.

This is not a humble brag. It's simply feedback that you can build a brand and own your future.

Just think, it all started with a 17-year-old kid who had a head full of ideas and absolutely no clue how to bring them to life. Well, I do now, and I want to help you build your brand and own your future.
