Joel McKay Smith — CEO
I am an active entrepreneur, super connector, and advocate for impactful business, economic, and social solutions. Over the past 40+ years, I’ve successfully launched, managed, and advised multiple companies, products, and projects across broadcasting, communications, hospitality, people, and tech verticals. My career is rooted in innovation and building connections that matter—whether it’s establishing tele-services and remote work opportunities that have employed thousands or developing scalable solutions for rural and urban communities. As a principal at Green Street Growth Advisors, I work feverishly on initiatives like Regenazome, which focuses on regenerative solutions to transforming nonproductive land and water into productive and sustainable ecosystems that empower local economies These projects and purpose portfolio align with my passion for bridging innovation and opportunity to empower long-term growth and resilience in rural spaces. I also serve as a strategic advisor at AspireAbility.io, where we connect learning and employment. AspireAbility defines COMPETENCIES, MEASURES attainment, UPSKILLS talent, and ANALYZES outcomes to create pathways for individuals and organizations to excel. Additionally, I’m proud to be an advisor to auticon.us, a social enterprise and IT consulting firm that exclusively employs adults on the autism spectrum. With operations in Salt Lake City, Utah, and across multiple countries, auticon combines tech expertise with a mission to foster inclusivity in the workplace. Previously, I served as President and now as an advisor to Neoito Inc., a mobile and web development company that builds lightning-fast applications for startups and enterprises worldwide. With offices in Kerala, India; Salt Lake City, Utah; London, UK; and Oslo, Norway, Neoito continues to push the boundaries of innovative digital solutions. Beyond my professional roles, I actively serve on boards and advisory panels, driven by the belief that you must "Give to Get." I thrive on mentoring and connecting people with opportunities that create meaningful impact. When I’m not collaborating with communities and organizations, I’m writing, mentoring, and exploring ideas that connect the dots between business, family, fun, and purpose.
