Firestarter
Take your life from ordinary, to extraordinary.
The art of maintaining a roaring fire demands the right ingredients: precise kindling, an apt environment, and a mastery of fueling and sustaining the fire.
Leadership in business mirrors this intricate formula. Igniting a disengaged team often feels like trying to spark a flame from drenched timber.
But imagine leading an energetic team, where each member passionately contributes, owns his or her role, and consistently delivers.
Imagine a place where collaboration meets innovation, where risk-taking and talent development are celebrated by team members.
Such teams aren't just led - they are ignited by a Firestarter!
Start Your Fire
In Firestarter, you'll be guided through the elements essential to become a skilled leader. As Elliott takes you through real-life triumphs and tragedies, his inspiring words are sure to spark the passion within you.
As a true Firestarter, you'll learn to see more than just people; you'll see latent embers of passion in every team member. You'll learn how to breathe life into these embers with encouragement and unwavering positivity, transforming tiny sparks into blazing fires.
Embracing the role of a Firestarter isn't just taking on an identity; it's a conscious choice. Like tending to a bonfire, being a Firestarter in business demands skills - skills that you can acquire and hone.
Discover how to warm up your team and spark their path to unparalleled success.
Will you light the flame to a life of fulfillment and abundance?
Let the Firestarter book guide you.
The Firestarter Way
I’ve had the opportunity to meet and speak with many Slippery Rock University students over the years. Recently, students from the College of Business read my book Firestarter. In this video, they share the insights the book offered them in their leadership journey.
I was also thrilled to engage during in an in-person fireside chat with a small group of students on a recent visit to the university. Their resolve to be the next generation of servant leaders was truly amazing and I’m blessed to have spent time learning more about them and their career aspirations.

What Students Are Saying
Tomorrow’s leaders weigh-in on Firestarter.
I want to be a selfless leader, a leader who inspires others to create their own path, and to motivate them and push them to their full potential.
I aspire to be a leader that’s going to provide people with purpose and meaning, not just in the organization or the workforce but in their personal lives and society.
My perspective on leadership changed reading this book because it taught me that leadership is not about you, it’s about the people around you.
Are you living a life of abundance?
Life isn't a race to check all the boxes. Find fulfillment in the now. Embrace the contentment of a child. Rejoice in the simple joys in life.
Then, take your life from ordinary to extraordinary by gratefully accepting where you are and relentlessly pursuing the direction you want to go.
Start your fire for life fresh every morning.
