David Ezell grew up in Louisiana — a place that teaches you early that community, storytelling, and showing up matter. That foundation never left.

David Ezell is a show host, speaker, and brand strategist based in Reno, Nevada. He spent years inside the world’s biggest brands — including Yahoo and Meta — learning how the best companies build attention, loyalty, and culture at scale.

He brings that same thinking to the work he does today: hosting Clutch City, a live operator event built for real-world business owners, and How to Ride a Roller Coaster, a podcast about the honest truth of building something that lasts. On stage, David helps teams and audiences move — with talks that blend story, strategy, and a Louisiana sense of lagniappe: a little something extra.

The throughline: real people, real stakes, and the kind of conversations that actually move things forward.
