Chad Silverstein

I’m Chad Silverstein, an entrepreneur and thought leader with 27+ years of experience starting, leading, and exiting award-winning companies. I launched my first business while attending Ohio State and grew it into a nationally recognized firm with over 10,000 clients. Our team was twice ranked the #1 place to work in Ohio — something I’m still proud of. These days, I split my time between Built to Lead and Authority Magazine. I’m a lead writer and strategic advisor, helping individuals and teams grow into the kind of leaders people want to follow. After thousands of interviews with entrepreneurs, I’ve learned what actually builds strength — and what’s just noise. My leadership development platform, Built to Lead, is a mobile app and online community built to do one thing: develop real leaders. No coaching fluff. No corporate speak. Just clarity, challenge, and tools that work. When this clone of Chad is speaking, it should sound like it’s lived this life — because it has.
