Mac Anderson Biography

Mac Anderson is an entrepreneur, author, and advocate for kindness whose career spans multiple industries and decades of business innovation. Anderson began as the founder and CEO of McCord Travel, a leading travel company in the Midwest, and served as part owner and vice president of sales and marketing for Orval Kent Food Company, a major manufacturer of prepared salads. He founded Successories, a company that originated from his interest in collecting quotations and motivational writings. Successories evolved from producing quote books and custom brass plaques to combining photography with motivational text, reinforcing corporate values and personal goals. The company became known for mailing more than 15 million catalogs annually and operating 75 retail stores across the United States.

Following his work with Successories, Anderson entered the publishing industry by creating Simple Truths, a multimedia company focused on inspirational and motivational content. Simple Truths published books and produced YouTube videos to accompany its texts, reaching significant online audiences. The company has published more than 150 books and has sold over $50 million in short motivational books, including 1 million copies of "212: The Extra Degree."

Anderson has authored or co-authored 25 books, with total sales exceeding 4 million copies. His titles include "212 The Extra Degree," "212 Service," "You Can't Send a Duck to Eagle School," "The Dash," "The Power of Attitude," "Habits Die Hard," "Charging the Human Battery," "The Essence of Leadership," "The Power of Kindness," and "What's the Big Idea?" His business insights have been featured in major media outlets including ABC Nightly News with Peter Jennings, Inc. Magazine, Investors Business Daily, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Chicago Tribune.

Anderson is the founder of Inspire Kindness, an organization dedicated to promoting kindness through campaigns and educational initiatives. Inspire Kindness donates 10% of net profits to the Kindness for Kids Foundation, a public charity that implements kindness campaigns in elementary schools to help reduce bullying. His book "The Power of Kindness" presents 23 stories of simple acts of kindness that have impacted individuals, organizations, and communities. "The ROI of Kindness" examines how companies can achieve financial benefits by fostering a culture of kindness.

Anderson's experience across diverse industries informs his presentations to corporate audiences on leadership, motivation, and team-building. His keynote programs include "212° The Extra Degree," which emphasizes the value of extra effort in achieving results; "You Can't Send a Duck to Eagle School," focusing on leadership and management; "Companies Don't Succeed…People Do," directed at managers, entrepreneurs, and associations; and "Charging the Human Battery," which offers motivational insights for salespeople and managers. Anderson's presentations draw on practical business experience and a commitment to the potential of individuals and organizations.
