This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Rome Madison. Rome is a dynamic speaker, author, and sales leadership expert who has spent over 20 years helping individuals and organizations build confidence, navigate uncertainty, and achieve bold, ambitious goals. He's worked at the forefront of the precision medicine industry, leading high-growth teams, scaling startups, and navigating everything from massive success to corporate collapse and restructuring. What makes Rome's story so powerful is not just what he's accomplished - but what he's overcome. From facing adversity early in life to becoming a leader in business and a voice for confidence and resilience, he's built a philosophy around what he calls becoming an "Everyday Superstar." Rome focuses on helping people increase confidence, embrace chaos, and rise and win - a message he's delivered on global stages like CES and across major media platforms. I'm excited to dig in with him on how confidence is engineered, how to use adversity as fuel, how to think like a media company to grow your brand, and what it really takes to win in business and life - especially when things get hard.
