About the author
Stephen V. Smith is an ICU survivor who lives with the rare disease myasthenia gravis. Following an award-winning career as a newspaper journalist, Stephen founded a small communications firm alongside his wife in 1996. Taking that company from a spare bedroom to the Inc. 5000 list, the Smiths sold it to a strategic acquirer in the middle of a pandemic. “I believe that to live life rare has many meanings,” Stephen says. “It’s not just about the big wins ... it’s also about the small decisions we make every day to face our challenges, choose the better path, and look for the positive in tough situations.”
“The life we want to build, and the legacy we want to leave for those who follow us, depends on how we choose to live today. Let’s choose to live life rare!”
— Stephen V. Smith
