Career Coach, Speaker, Consultant, Author

Bill Barnett’s career spans the entertainment and communications industries, encompassing television, film, radio, and digital technologies. As the first President of Radio Aahs, the pioneering children’s radio network, he expanded a single station into 26 stations nationwide before taking the company public. After overseeing the successful sale of Radio Aahs and its metamorphosis into Radio Disney, Barnett managed branded integration for Warner Bros. TV.

In 2008, Bill shifted his focus to video technology in education, assisting students worldwide in digitally interviewing with top colleges and universities with his company LikeLive. As these students graduated, they used LikeLive to apply for jobs, attaching video links to their resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and applications to stand out. Barnett eventually sold LikeLive to ETS, the largest educational testing organization in the world.

Through Mission Hire Me, he also helps transitioning veterans and their spouses share their stories via professionally produced digital presentations. He recently served as chairman of the board for The Rosie Network, an organization aiding veteran entrepreneurs in starting their own businesses.

Today, Bill dedicates his time to supporting job seekers and entrepreneurs across all demographics. Through his latest venture, Smarter Minds Network, he provides guidance on business plans, hiring practices, and overall business strategies.
