Featuring

Combat Veteran Adam Smith with Savage Freedoms

Adam Smith, a former Green Beret with 17 years of service, is outspoken in leadership, disaster relief, and operational consulting. As the founder of Savage Freedoms, he has built a movement that empowers individuals and businesses to operate at the highest levels of resilience, preparedness, and efficiency. When Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Smith didn’t wait for bureaucratic red tape—he mobilized a massive number of Special Operations Veterans and civilian volunteers which resulted in the formation of Savage Freedoms Relief Operations dubbed “The Redneck Air Force.” Their effort executed over 2,500 air sorties and ground missions to deliver life-saving supplies where FEMA and State Authorities dropped the ball. His expertise in logistics, crisis response and leadership under pressure has made him a sought-after speaker and consultant, helping organizations and communities build the mindset and infrastructure to thrive in chaos.
