Alan Smith and the Texas Hearing Institute

Alan Smith is honored in the Wildcatter’s Hall of Fame, a recognition bestowed upon a select group of oil and gas entrepreneurs with the skill, courage, and persistence to discover new energy reserves—powering our homes and fueling our industries. Beyond his accomplishments in the energy sector, Alan has a profound passion for helping children with hearing impairments, a commitment inspired by his own daughter’s journey to lead a fulfilling life despite her hearing challenges.

The 100x Forum provided Alan with the tools, peers, case studies, and coaching to channel the unique abilities that made him a successful energy entrepreneur toward an entirely new mission. His efforts transformed a modest hearing and speech center on the outskirts of Houston into the Texas Hearing Institute, now located within the Texas Medical Center. This initiative quadrupled the number of children served, significantly impacting their lives.

Alan’s 100x Forum team visited the institute to celebrate the vision, leadership, and resources he brought to this endeavor. Thanks to his dedication, the institute has become a place where young boys and girls sit together at lunch, chatting and laughing—a stark contrast to the silence that might have defined their lives without Alan’s support.

Participant Reviews

The 100x program helped to provide clarity for my life’s unique mission. The program also helped me to better understand the platforms I’ve been given through that mission and the Kingdom impact I can have on each platform. I, my family, my work team and my community have all benefited from me going through 100x.

Austin Williams

CEO/Partner – Compass Ventures

My 100x experience, plain and simple, has changed my life in so many ways. It has helped me clearly shape and define my purpose and direction in this new chapter of my life, as a follower of Christ, as a husband, father and grandfather, and as a leader in my industry and in my company, as we shape the next generation of leaders.

Doug McKnight

President/Partner, REEAF Holdings

I’m very grateful for the relationship and experiences I’ve had with Lloyd Reeb, the Halftime Institute, and more recently the 100x Forum. The 100x Forum helped me tune up my action plan and helped me clarify my focus of “Scaling Kingdom Enterprises”. I found the interaction with like minded peers combined with Lloyd’s vast experience and input very beneficial.

Dan Devine

Chairman, Lighthouse Works! and former Founder/CEO, Compass Knowledge Group

100x Forum has been a wonderful journey that is a combination of obtaining personal clarity into what God has called me to do alongside building transparent, authentic relationships with men that challenged and encouraged me on the path to strive for 100x impact during my life.

Co-founder/President and CEO, Rockcliff Energy

It was the most amazing experience of my life and I seek out a lot of experiences. The people in the room were so thoughtful, wise, godly, caring, and warm. Lloyd, Pete, Marion and Reni put together an incredible curriculum and led with wisdom and sensitivity. I felt (and feel) so humbled to have the opportunity to be in this program. I feel so unworthy but am trusting God that He has me here for a purpose. I’m just soaking it in with utter gratitude.

Peter Fioretti and Pat Hamill

Peter Fioretti and Pat Hamill are both real estate developers and home builders as well as 100x Forum Alumni. Pat was the founder and CEO of Oakwood homes, which he sold to Berkshire Hathaway and continued to lead as he was working through his next season. Based on his passion for helping disadvantaged men and women find a pathway to living wage jobs in construction, Pat created Build Strong Academy in Denver. Over the years Peter and Pat have partnered in many real estate deals but few have brought the joy that is captured in this photo – at the opening of a Build Strong Academy they launched together in Peter’s hometown of Charlotte NC. They both are using their first half gifts and experiences to make a 100x impact!
