Spark Thomasville Executive Director
Successful entrepreneurs make the best coaches. 🔥
Meet Todd Davis – a hardworking Sr. Advisor at Saunders Real Estate whose journey from corporate America to entrepreneurial freedom makes him the perfect mentor for Spark Thomasville’s next cohort of business builders
When someone who’s navigated competitive markets for 20+ years offers to guide you, that’s not just coaching – that’s a shortcut to success
The Entrepreneurial Mindset 💼
Ever wonder what separates those who thrive in competitive industries from those who merely survive?
For Todd, it’s about embracing the entrepreneurial spirit even within established structures:
“In the real estate business we are basically entrepreneurs,” he explains. “It’s very competitive out here. And you have to keep up with the times and be sharp in the knowledge of what you do.”
This perspective comes from someone who’s witnessed exponential change throughout his 56 years – making him uniquely qualified to help newer entrepreneurs navigate today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
From Banking to Freedom ⛓️💥
Todd’s professional journey reads like a masterclass in strategic pivoting:
Started in commercial banking during college
Transitioned to Pfizer Pharmaceuticals
Seized an opportunity with a real estate developer in 2002
Now serves as senior advisor mentoring younger agents
What drove these changes? A desire for autonomy that many Spark entrepreneurs will recognize: “I like the freedom and the ability to get the job done, make money, and be in charge.”
The Coaching Philosophy 🤝
When asked what he learned from Spark’s coach training, Todd’s answer:
“It is more about coaching than telling the people what to do. Great coaches let their mentees figure things out, giving them guidance and ways to figure it out.”
This philosophy – guiding rather than directing – aligns perfectly with Spark’s commitment to building sustainable businesses through education and mentorship.
