Dr. Ben Olmos brings a rare combination of real-world operating experience, academic rigor, and current hands-on startup building. He spent more than 30 years in the consumer packaged goods industry working with Fortune 500 companies and emerging brands, giving him deep insight into how large organizations actually make decisions, execute strategy, and scale. In parallel, he has spent over 20 years in higher education teaching business students from undergraduate through doctoral levels, which allows him to translate complex ideas into clear, practical frameworks audiences can immediately apply.

Today, he is the founder of DissedMedia and The Daily Pitch and the author of 10 Topics to Help Managers, Leaders & Entrepreneurs Get Better at What They Do. He also hosts the podcast DissedMedia: A Startup Story, where he documents the real journey of building a media company while interviewing founders and operators about what works, what fails, and why. This perspective allows him to speak not just from past success, but from current experience in the trenches.

Listeners typically gain actionable insights on leadership, execution, decision-making, fundraising, growth, and the realities behind entrepreneurship that are often overlooked in purely motivational conversations. Dr. Olmos is particularly effective for audiences of founders, operators, managers, and professionals who want practical guidance rather than theory alone.

He is a strong guest for shows focused on business, leadership, entrepreneurship, career growth, organizational effectiveness, or innovation, and he adapts easily to both strategic discussions and tactical, example-driven conversations.
