Business consultant and author Robert J. Smith, MFA, and retired UPS International President Ron Wallace are spearheading a national campaign to reinvigorate American patriotism through literary works and educational initiatives. The collaboration combines Smith’s Junior Patriots™ youth mentorship program with Wallace’s bestselling book “AMERICAN MADNESS: WAKING UP TO WOKE” to address concerns about national identity and civic engagement.
Smith, a former financial advisor with a record-breaking sales history at MONY, AXA Financial, and New York Life, transitioned to writing after spinal cord injuries from multiple car accidents ended his on-the-road career. He earned advanced writing degrees from Full Sail University, where he graduated as Valedictorian, and “With Distinction” in UCLA’s Feature Film Writing program. His “INFLUENCE IN ACTION™” series and contributions to “SALES GENIUS #1” have achieved #1 Best Seller status on Amazon.
The Junior Patriots™ program, Smith’s non-profit initiative, aims to help students become published authors while exploring American values. The “WHAT I LOVE ABOUT AMERICA!” book series provides youth with opportunities to reflect on foundational principles while gaining academic and professional advantages. Smith has set ambitious goals to help 1,000 students become bestselling authors in 2025, with plans to increase that number tenfold the following year.
Wallace brings decades of global leadership experience to the partnership, having overseen 60,000 employees across more than 200 countries during his tenure at UPS International.
His book “AMERICAN MADNESS” has topped bestseller charts in the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia, addressing concerns about ideological shifts in American society. Wallace’s background includes service as a police officer, restaurateur, and inaugural chairman of Milton, Georgia, along with leadership roles on over 30 boards.
The collaboration between Smith and Wallace extends to their literary works, with each having written forewords for the other’s publications. Their combined efforts focus on education, mentorship, and public discourse to engage citizens in democratic participation.
Corporate sponsorships for the Junior Patriots™ program start at $76 per student, with monthly donations beginning at $17.76, making the initiative accessible to communities nationwide.
