Rebuilding the Workforce: Todd Smith’s Bold Vision for Change

In this episode of Look Like Somebody, host Ricky C. Simmons sits down with visionary Todd M. Smith, the founder of Symphony Workforce, to talk real solutions for the broken workforce pipeline. From growing up in snow-shoveling hustle to leading systemic education reform, Todd shares how he’s helping youth feel seen and equipped for real success—not just college-bound tracks. His mission is simple: play the playbook you’re given, then rewrite it for the next generation. This is more than motivation—this is movement.
