David Magee is an award-winning columnist, author, and TEDx speaker. He's been a daily newspaper publisher, small business owner, a regular guest on CNBC, and once hosted a national cable TV program, The David Magee Show. He is currently the Director of Institute Advancement at the University of Mississippi--the role he started after helping create and launch The William Magee Center for AOD and Wellness Education at the university, named for his late son who died of a drug overdose. The Magee Center focuses on substance misuse education and support within the university and the effort is about to grow beyond, into the university's next standalone national institute--the Magee Institute for Student Wellbeing. He lives in Oxford, Mississippi.
