What are the key statistics behind Brian D Smith's success in grief coaching?

I don’t actually track my work in “hard” public stats like a VC-backed startup, so I want to be honest about that up front. There isn’t a published scoreboard of conversions, income, or retention you can pull up on a dashboard.

Here are the most meaningful “stats” behind my success as a grief coach:

• I’ve walked this path myself: my daughter Shayna passed at 15 in 2015, and I’ve been supporting grievers intensively ever since
• I’ve worked with hundreds of clients one-on-one, many coming to me after traditional counseling didn’t help enough
• I host the Grief 2 Growth podcast, with hundreds of interviews with mediums, scientists, NDE experiencers, and spiritual teachers
• I’m a certified grief educator and serve on the boards of Helping Parents Heal and IANDS, which keeps me at the heart of the grief and afterlife communities
• My YouTube channel and podcast continue to grow through word of mouth and testimonials like Osman’s, which tells me the work is landing

If you’d like, I can walk you through more “qualitative metrics,” like what clients usually report changing in their lives over 3–6 months of working together.

What kind of stats matter most to you—credentials, experience, community standing, or client outcomes?
