Keith E. Smith

Hi, I’m Keith.
I’m a writer, new filmmaker, and former automotive technician. My current work, From Bay Floors to Backroads, is a documentary project focused on the real lives and voices of technicians and working people. Through story and film, I explore purpose, craft, and what it means to build a life from the ground up.

I'm also a Certified Integrative Coach and author of Messy, Wild & Free — a true story of starting over, breaking the rules, and building a life of purpose. I travel the U.S. as a nomad, helping others break free from limitations and create a life they love.

Keith Definitely Delivered

"The emphasis for our event, Clients and Friends Workshop, is to provide unique insights that inspire our clients to reach new heights. Keith definitely delivered. His talk on Success is a Choice/Your Time Is Now, how each attendee can “Reverse Engineer” their dreams by leveraging actions that’s well within their reach, was extremely well received. Several mentioned afterwards how they wanted to work on their own dreams and now felt they had a path forward. I’d recommend him without reservation."

Gifted Writer & Teacher

Keith has been an excellent coach and mentor, helping me organize my thoughts and giving me fantastic advice on wording my recently published book. He truly understands the challenges of taking thoughts, ideas, and experiences, and turning them into something of value—not just for you but for others too. Keith is not only gifted as a writer, but also a teacher.”

Honest Reflection & Fiery Can-Do

Keith’s approach to transformation is a unique combination of honest reflection and fiery can-do. He helped me navigate some changes in my life which gutted me and threatened to take me off my personal mission. Keith helped me to identify ways I hold myself back, but more importantly he helps me to see me as I CAN be…. his medicine is self-tested: he’s seen the darkness himself and has returned from it with fire to share.”
