Benny Pough – Music Mogul, CEO, Real Estate Investor, and Author

With nearly thirty years of experience, Pough has helped shape the sound and culture of music worldwide. He was instrumental in delivering radio hits for superstar artists Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, Travis Scott, Future, DJ Khaled, and 21 Savage.

Pough had the need to tell his story after a near-fatal car accident in 2014. His memoir, ON IMPACT: Life, Leadership & Betting On Yourself, shares the experiences that shaped him–from being swindled as an eleven-year-old paperboy, to being scouted from a comedy club stage by a Motown executive, to sitting in some of the most coveted seats within his industry.

Balancing authority and authenticity, Pough shares his lessons on living a life of impact and rising through the leadership ranks. Transparent, truthful, and telling, On Impact reveals the heart and healing of a man striving to leave his indelible mark on the world.
