This may sound weird, but I am most proud of the man I have become.  A man of God.  A family man. A man who uses his gifts, talents and the platform they have earned him, to leave a little dent in the world.

At the age of 34, Detavio Samuels is one of corporate America's youngest executives and has helped some of the world's biggest companies including Walmart, Chrysler LLC, NBA and Johnson & Johnson to build their brands and connect to consumers. Currently, Samuels works at Radio One Inc, the nation's leading urban media company, where he operates as the President of One Solution. In this role, Samuels heads up the company's cross-platform sales division as well as, CIPHER, the company's branded entertainment agency.

Samuels is also the founder The Bare Group: a holding company for many of his ideas including: Bare Thinking, his consulting firm; Bare Publishing, which published his first book, Exist No More, and Bare Studios, his film and content division.

"The principles I live by is keeping God first; he's never failed me. Family second; they are my heart and my soul. Find the magic that's in me and unleash in on the world for good.  Pretty simple, huh?"
