Daven Michaels is a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and global business strategist with a track record of success across multiple industries. Launching his first business at just 15 years old, Daven quickly made a name for himself in the fashion world, designing for top musicians of the 80s and 90s. Recognizing the power of scalability, he transitioned from fashion to the communications sector, building a company from the ground up. In just five years, he expanded operations to 60 U.S. cities before selling to a public company in a lucrative equity deal. This strategic move set the stage for his continued entrepreneurial success. With newfound financial freedom, Daven returned to his passion for entertainment, emerging as one of the most influential electronic music event producers in the U.S., hosting massive events for up to 20,000 attendees. His success in event production led to a distinguished career as a recording artist and television producer, collaborating with some of the world’s most renowned bands. Beyond his achievements in business and entertainment, Daven has become a leading advocate for small business owners. As an author and speaker, he has empowered thousands of entrepreneurs, helping them compete with—and outperform—corporate giants. His book Outsource Smart became a bestseller upon its release in 2012, catapulting him to international recognition. To date, he has authored nine additional books, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in business innovation and growth.
