Bert & Xkizin Wright

A servant leader.

A social entrepreneur.

An Amazon #1 bestselling author.

A certified hypnotist.

Bert is someone who believes that entrepreneurship can be a vehicle of social change.

He grew up in a household of entrepreneurs. His dad was a general contractor and a real estate

appraiser & inspector. His mom had her own daycare for many years. His father taught him that

entrepreneurship is a pathway to controlling your own future and making a difference in the

world. As a young person, Bert developed his entrepreneurial muscles as a paper boy in junior

high school. He learned the power of creating his own personal economy and loved the feeling

of creating a paycheck at will.

Bert’s drive to be a change agent came from watching his dad start a neighborhood

watch program on his block when they lived in Los Angeles. The goal was to help create a safe

space for the neighbors and the kids (especially his own) from the criminal element that often

was present on the street. Bert honor’s his father’s legacy through his ongoing community

service as a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., serving on the Board of Directors for the

University of California, Riverside Alumni Association, and as a member of the University of

California Riverside Chancellor’s advisory committee.

Bert has worked in corporate America helping over 20 business owners helping

generate over $100 million in over 7 years. Bert has co-generated over $7 million with a global

volunteer sales force. He has wrote the sale training manual for a major influencer. He is skilled

at negotiating speaking contracts worth multiple six figures.

Bert has a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies and Masters of Science in Organizational

Leadership. After spending over a decade as a W-2 employee, he made the leap to

entrepreneurship. Bert can attest that it is harder than it looks and loves the journey at the same

time. It has been a place for tremendous personal and professional growth. He loves to share

those lessons with anyone that is willing to listen.

He is married to his beautiful wife, Xkizin, and lives in Riverside, CA.

 

Xkizin Wright graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a Bachelor’s of Arts in

Psychology and later obtained her Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Argosy

University. Mrs. Wright  is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is currently working

with teens with substance abuse and behavioral problems that have placed their family in crisis.

Besides being a therapist, she has served as a speaker and facilitator by partnering with local

organizations, such as her parent’s church, African American Mental Health Coalition and the

Employee Assistance Program (EAP), on the following topics: Sexual Integrity, Alcohol & Drug

prevention, Bipolar & Schizophrenia, Self esteem/Self Worth, Going after your dreams/ goal

 

setting, The Stigma behind Mental Health, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Management, and

Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms.

Her ultimate legacy is to open a private practice where she will help entrepreneurs push past

the barriers that previously stopped so that they can have the life and business that they desire.
