Only The Strong Survive

The journey of corporate professional and former CEO Roger Smith is an impactful tale of survival. As a youth, the tough-as-nails and inspiring young man overcame a life of homelessness and severe substance abuse to triumph in becoming one of the country's leading lights in the business world.

His story is now shared in the critically acclaimed new book, THE MOST UNLIKELY LEADER, which powerfully and eloquently recounts his life story for the first time.

Roger Smith says of the book, "With an estimated 30 million Americans suffering from some sort of an addiction on the heels of the pandemic, I hope my story of redemption is something people can use right now to know their own comeback is possible".
