Nicholas Townsend Smith
“The Gentle Giant” · Founder, AI Designer & Builder
Nick is an author, a mystic, a performance coach, an AI designer, and a proud father of four. He co-founded Mandelbrot Productions, the production company behind The Giants and the Smalls, along with The League of Giants, The Tribe of Giants, Wake Up With Giants TV and Radio, The Park Bench, and P8 Sales Training.
He works with individuals and organizations to know their fullest potential: to create clear visions, to trust stepping into uncertainty, to follow their intuition, and to grow into all they are capable of. He has coached leaders, sales professionals, and experts ranging from professional arm wrestlers to New York Times best-selling authors. His programs serve thousands of people worldwide.
Nick holds a Master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Over the last few years he has turned that lens on software, designing and building AI systems, production web apps, membership platforms and marketplaces with Claude, GPT, Gemini, Next.js, Vercel and Supabase: Giant Crossings, Rimi, the Daily Check-In, Herald, and the client work in between. He trains founders and teams on AI, works on SEO and AI engine optimization, and runs Gentle Giant Records, releasing original music through DistroKid.
The goal behind all of it is simple. Blend technology and humanity so people grow to the power of TH. My Growth AIgency is where that happens.
“Nick will never learn all there is to know in this world, but he is committed to learning all he can and sharing it in a way that simplifies the complex.”
