Created by Bryant K. Smith as the next evolution of the Exceptional By Design™ movement,  Be X™ is a premium speaking platform where accomplished leaders, original thinkers,  innovators, creators, and change agents share the ideas and experiences that have shaped their  lives, leadership, and impact. 

Be X™ is built on the belief that exceptional knowledge should not remain confined to executive  offices, classrooms, locker rooms, laboratories, boardrooms, or private conversations. It should  be shared in ways that challenge assumptions, expand possibilities, and equip others to live, lead,  work, and grow more intentionally. 

Each Be X™ talk gives a thought leader the opportunity to deliver a focused, compelling  message rooted in genuine expertise and lived experience. Speakers do more than describe what  they have accomplished. They reveal what they discovered, what they overcame, what they  learned, and what others can apply to create meaningful change in their own lives, organizations,  and communities. 

The platform welcomes voices from business, education, athletics, science, technology, culture,  public service, entrepreneurship, leadership, and the arts. Although their disciplines may differ,  every Be X™ speaker shares a common purpose: to contribute an exceptional idea capable of  helping someone think differently, act courageously, and become more than they believed  possible. 

At the heart of Be X™ is Bryant K. Smith’s ambitious mission to help create one million  exceptional people—individuals committed not merely to personal achievement, but to using  their potential, influence, knowledge, and character to make the world a more exceptional place  to live, work, and grow. 

Be X™ is more than a stage. It is a platform for consequential ideas, authentic experiences, and  voices capable of moving people from inspiration to intentional action. 

Come prepared to share what you know.  

Leave having expanded what the world believes is possible. “Be X™”
