Dr. McMillen’s life and career can be summed up by the proverb:
“Give a person a fish, you feed them for a day; teach a someone to fish, you feed
them for a lifetime.”
At the age of 5, Dr. McMillen's family struggled to make ends meet and lived on welfare.
Seeking a better life, his mom decided to attend college, driving 100 miles a day
to the nearest campus. Three years later, she graduated magna cum laude and went on to become a teacher for over 30 years, preaching the importance of education.
Following his mom’s example, Dr. McMillen went on to receive four college degrees
(Ph.D., Law Degree, Masters, and Bachelors). Today, he is a professor and leadership coach who has presented around the world.
Whether he’s conducting workshops inside federal prison, teaching on college campuses,
or coaching business leaders, Dr. McMillen helps others unlock their personal and professional potential so they can live more
meaningful and impactful lives.
Dr. McMillen and his wife, Dr. Rebecca McMillen (who is also a college professor),
live in California with their two daughters. When he isn’t teaching, you’ll find him
in the Sierra Mountains or visiting with friends and family in Australia.
