ABOUT
Troy McNair Sr. and Maurice “Mo” Henderson are nationally recognized cultural architects, innovation strategists, and ecosystem builders redefining how cities, corporations, and educational institutions engage the next generation. As co-founders of the Think Bold Movement—a multi-platform ecosystem spanning entrepreneurship, culture, workforce development, technology, and youth innovation—they are two of the most dynamic and influential voices leading America’s new cultural economy.
Together, Troy & Mo blend music industry expertise, entrepreneurial strategy, community design, and cultural intelligence into powerful frameworks that transform how organizations think, communicate, and create impact.
With a combined background that includes Def Jam Music Group , Sony Music , Warner Bros Music , Full Sail University, startup leadership, civic partnerships, and large-scale social impact programs, the duo brings unmatched real-world experience to the stage and boardroom. Their work has influenced thousands of students, hundreds of entrepreneurs, and a growing network of city leaders, nonprofits, and corporate partners seeking modern, culturally fluent solutions.
Troy & Mo are best known for creating the Think Bold Festival & Conference, the Southeast’s fastest-growing entrepreneurship and culture festival; Think Bold All Access and The Pull Up Program, two nationally scalable youth workforce and innovation models; AMFM Technologies, a culture-forward audio hardware startup; and B.E.S.T. Bootcamp, a culturally intelligent business accelerator.
Their unique ability to translate pop culture, music, entrepreneurship, AI, and community dynamics into actionable strategy makes them one of the most sought-after speaking and consulting duos in the country.
They don’t just inspire audiences—
They build movements.
They shift narratives.
They help organizations lead the future instead of chase it.
Their keynotes are known for being high-energy, deeply relevant, culturally fluent, and full of tactical insights that audiences can use immediately.
Where culture, entrepreneurship, and innovation collide.
