Carson V. ConantFounder

United States - Greater Chicago Area

I founded Mediafly in 2006 with delusional optimism and the entrepreneurial drive. I partnered with brilliant, driven people and together we turned Mediafly into a leading enterprise software company in brining Sales Enablement to the worlds' largest companies.

My wife Latane Conant is the brilliant marketing executive, thought leader, currently the CMO of 6sense. I find myself racing to keep up with her brilliance and zest for life. If you have heard her laugh you know what I mean. Our 2 boys (Irsh twins) are a magical blend of the 2 of us. One has Latane's personality and my engineering drive; the other has my seriousness and Latane's drive. Together this family talks a lot about marketing, sales, business, engineering and science around the dinner table.

I am a 3rd generation entrepreneur, raised in a family who pioneered self-improvement in the 60's and 70's with the Nightingale Conant Corporation. Today my father runs the company and has transformed from a company that made records, cassettes and CD’s into a media company that distributes entire online and on-demand physical products. I was fortunate enough to be part of Nightingale-Conant during this transformation and I learned many of my core business skills from that education. In addition the ideals taught by early founders of self-improvement, such as Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill, are foundations of my personal and business mentality. My father runs Earl Nightingale's Strangest Secret and The Boss are core to my person and the DNA of Mediafly. And last but not least, my mother is my rock and my wisdom coach. I drew a pretty amazing family card with these two.
