Kelly’s Dad is Steve Miller. He is a Marketing Gunslinger and the author of “UNCOPYABLE: How to Create an Unfair Advantage Over Your Competition.”

In the business world, He guides organizations to higher long-term success through smart, inexpensive marketing and response-driven branding (no, that’s not an oxymoron).

He is also a TEDster, a damn good speaker (over 1500 paid national and international presentations), a pretty good writer (six books and top business magazines), and a crappy golfer. He also has an edge. You have crossed into a No Spin Zone.

He works in several niches, most notably with small businesses, entrepreneurs, and trade associations.
