Dr. Nash believes in the power of excellence. He is an innovator, pioneer, and maverick leader who blazed a path as a successful real estate entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and global humanitarian. He cares about the world and the people in it. Troy came up the hard way. He rose from a poor inner city street kid living in public housing, on welfare with no father in the home, to becoming a two-term elected official in Missouri, traveling the world promoting humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchanges, earning six advanced degrees including a doctorate in education, an MBA, a MA in economics, a MA in Political Science, and a law degree, to becoming the first African American executive named partner/shareholder in a top commercial real estate firm in the history of the State of Missouri; shattering a glass ceiling that existed since Missouri became the 24th state on August 10, 1821.

Labeled "at-risk" early in life, the almost high school dropout shares his personal story of how he avoided drugs, crime, and toxic relationships by setting goals and staying focused while everything around him was falling apart. Dr. Nash knows what it feels like to be counted out by everyone around him. Growing up, he had to find a way to dream of a better life and yet be socially acceptable on the streets. It wasn't easy. Even his own family laughed at him for following a different path. It was his combination of talent, skill, and ability to adapt quickly to new and changing environments, Nash says was critical to his mental and physical survival. Dr. Nash connects with other people's lives-their struggles and overlooked opportunities-because he has been through it all. From a difficult start early in life to meeting business, political, and thought leaders all over the world and throughout the country, these experiences are all part of his improbable life's journey. Deciding these challenges and opinions of others would not define him, his determination and focus on self-development fueled his obsessive drive to succeed.
