Project Overview
Steve Davis is the founder and CEO of the Texas-based Total Wealth Academy. As an entrepreneur who has been helping people create secondary, passive income streams through real estate investment for over 30 years, he is a living example of the success his teachings and methods can create.
Steve is passionate about helping others succeed to become wealthy and live a balanced life filled with love, laughter, and purpose, as his definition of wealth is not based merely on monetary earnings. In addition to his mentoring program, Steve runs a weekly, eponymously named radio show and podcast that airs nationally.

The Problem
The Total Wealth Academy is physically located in Houston, Texas, where Steve regularly runs his face-to-face seminars. Between both his business and weekly radio show, he is known in the Houston area.
However, while Steve will be the first to express his appreciation of his hometown, he wanted to reach audiences outside of Houston. In talking with our team, Steve mentioned his desire to become a thought leader and nationally-recognizable name in the sector of investing — particularly real estate investing, which he specializes in.
The Strategy
Otter PR immediately started pitching Steve and the Total Wealth Academy to national journalists. In addition to our pitching strategy, Otter PR helped Steve establish a membership with the Forbes Business Council to further help establish him as a thought leader in real estate investment. Otter PR first landed him an interview on a podcast with Entrepreneur that led the way for messaging him as a dynamic voice in the real estate investment sphere. Following this interview, interest in Steve and his business from our media network has grown significantly.

Business Impact (results)
Otter PR’s strategy of earning Steve and Total Wealth Academy media coverage in national outlets showed immediate results. This has been highlighted most prominently through his thought-leadership articles in Forbes. According to Steve, his Forbes articles directly resulted in several conversions, meaning that several of those who read his articles in Forbes purchased his seminar. Steve continues to be a highly-saught after thought leader in the areas of passive income creation and real estate investing.
