Living Leadership, circa 2004
I travel throughout the world and people inquire, "Who are you?", "What do you do?" Well, essentially, I am a conduit or channel for God-given opportunities, ideas, and relationships. I am a product of popular culture, hip-hop, SWATS of the ATL, and the post-civil rights generation that believes that ANYTHING is POSSIBLE! Life is about the process, the journey and the plan. This website was created to keep you up to date on our business, personal, and legacy interests. Let's make it happen together. I look forward to exploring the universe with you! -

Bio
Dr. Rodney Sampson, international social entrepreneur, thought leader, and leader of faith and economics has been a business owner for most of his life.
Sampson, 35, reaches into the worlds of business, faith, and foreign relations simultaneously. He regularly consults heads of state, Fortune 500 corporations, and bishops representing millions of faithful constituents across the globe. His ventures include a social networking community for entrepreneurs (www.efactor.com), a pioneering digital broadcast company, an international consultancy, a full service advertising agency (www.intellectmediagroup.com), a venture opportunity fund (focused on technology, services and green), a faith and family new media company and a real estate development group. He is also an Executive Board Member of OHM Matching Ambitions, an international business development firm.
While developing several successful companies, Sampson has emerged as an expert on leadership and entrepreneurship, speaking to thousands each year. Mentored by Dr. John Maxwell, Dr. Robert Jennings, Dr. Robert Goodwin and Dr. Brian Mosley, Sampson has provided consultations and strategic success plans to numerous political, business leaders, Fortune level companies, and global figures (examples include His Excellency Omar Bongo Ondimba, President of The Gabonese Republic, Price Waterhouse Coopers of Namibia, and Ambassador Kaire Mduende, United Nations Ambassador).
As a marketing and business economist, Sampson has executed lucrative marketing strategies for Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, Disney/Walden Media’s The Chronicles of Narnia, and Dr. John Maxwell’s Maximum Impact and Living Leadership initiatives. For the last three years, he has taught seminars for Dr. John Maxwell’s EQUIP, a leadership development institute in Africa and the United States.
Sampson also serves as the General Overseer of Public Affairs of The Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International under the leadership of Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr. Sampson is committed to further positioning the person of faith as a viable consumer and emerging producer.
In 2007, Sampson launched The Direction Movement, a twenty-first century concept created by and for marketplace leaders and entrepreneurs. The concept for this movement was created out of the need for a spiritual experience that speaks directly to leaders, entrepreneurs, influencers, and the affluent at all levels.
Direction is dedicated to establishing a generation of creators, producers, owners, and wealth builders. Through Direction, Sampson is committed to building a global ministry of relevance and practical application designed to activate the divine purpose of God in the lives of this planet’s seven billion passengers. Taking intentional action and steps towards education, entrepreneurship, economic development is the focal point of this sweeping global movement.
Dr. Sampson has a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Tulane University, a MBA from Keller Business School, and an honorary Doctorate of Ministry degree from The International Gospel Fellowship Theological Seminary in Greenville, SC. He also attended the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine.
For his contributions to humanity, Sampson was awarded The Phoenix Award - the City of Atlanta’s highest honor - by Mayor Shirley Franklin in 2004.
