After bursting on to the scene as NBC’s first Apprentice, Bill Rancic has traveled to every part of the globe, sharing his life experiences and business acumen with tens of thousands of leaders, businesses and organizations on a variety of important topics. His expertise ranges from why some companies thrive in chaos — and others don’t — to the leadership behaviors needed in a world beset by turbulence, uncertainty and dramatic change.
What makes Bill so unique is that he is both a student and teacher of leadership and has a healthy obsession with what makes great companies and leaders tick.
Having invested nearly two decades living the topic, Rancic has authored four books. These include New York Times best-seller You’re Hired: How to Succeed in Business and Life, which examines how some companies and leaders make the leap to superior results; the enduring classic Beyond the Lemonade Stand which teaches young people empowers them with the value of both money and positive self-image. In addition, Rancic co-authored I Do… Now What? with celebrity wife Giuliana Rancic where they share secrets to a supportive love and true partnership in marriage. He also just penned his first novel, First Light.
Driven by a relentless curiosity, Rancic really began his business journey when graduated cum laude from Loyola University. He then went on to become a successful entrepreneur when he founded a monthly online subscription-based retailer. Since that time, he has inspired millions of people around the globe to work towards reaching their full potential, both in business and in their personal lives. He is currently co-owner of the RPM Restaurant Group and the Giuliana Prosecco.
Rancic appears regularly on numerous daytime broadcast and cable television programs such as Today, The View, Rachael Ray, Steve Harvey and various CNBC programs.
He currently resides in Chicago with his wife Giuliana and son Duke.
From starting a boat wash and wax business while in college to running a million dollar company and restaurant empire, Bill Rancic has had to confront the same ups and downs that any entrepreneur must along the road to success. By adopting strategies that rejected conventional wisdom, Bill was able to separate himself from the pack while he crafted a personal and professional brand that has established him as a household name. Today, audiences have the opportunity to learn how he did it directly from the source.
Providing ground-level perspective into what it takes to develop an idea, build a business out of it, and strengthen it to last, Bill shares takeaways that are immediately applicable to anyone who wants to increase their return on investment, improve market share, or reap the benefits of a more productive, motivated workforce.
No one battles cancer alone. In solo and joint appearances alike with his wife, E! News’ red carpet host Giuliana Rancic, a husband shares what it was like to confront what had once been previously considered unimaginable when the one he cares about most was given a heartbreaking diagnosis that fundamentally altered the lives of their family forever.
For a couple whose challenges with infertility had already been documented as the stars of E!’s Giuliana and Bill, their lives were further turned upside down after Giuliana announced during a live taping of TODAY that in the midst of fertility treatments, doctors had detected breast cancer. In the years ahead, they would deal with multiple surgeries and miscarriages, loving and leaning on one another when they needed each other most. Their stories of what it was like to navigate those emotions at the time and how they endured to eventual recovery will inspire audiences and give hope to others in their time of need.
