Tony Pitts
Entrepreneur. Author. Speaker. Partnership Strategist.
One partnership can change a life. What could a culture of partnership change for your audience?
Tony brings more than 35 years of entrepreneurial experience to the stage. Through honest stories, practical lessons, and a message people can put to work, he helps audiences recognize their value, build meaningful relationships, and move from ideas to action.
Break Barriers.Build Together.Grow Without Limits.
Tony has built across real estate, construction, retail, entertainment, and other industries. He has experienced the excitement of creating something new, the weight of setbacks, and the difference the right people can make when it's time to move forward.
His talks challenge the idea that entrepreneurs have to succeed alone. Audiences leave with a new way to see the people around them—and practical questions they can use to identify opportunities for collaboration.
They Lied to You: The Myth of the Self-Made Entrepreneur
The self-made entrepreneur is a powerful story. Tony asks audiences to look more closely at the relationships behind every lasting success.
Drawing from his own journey and the principles in POP! The Power of Partnerships, he shows how to recognize your strengths, find people whose strengths complement yours, and build partnerships around shared purpose. It's a talk for people ready to move beyond carrying every challenge alone.
Audiences will explore
- 1Why the people around a business matter as much as the idea.
- 2How to recognize partnership opportunities in everyday relationships.
- 3What each person needs to bring to a productive collaboration.
- 4How a partnership mindset can open a path through business barriers.
