Boyd J. Levitt is a sales leader turned storyteller — a voice for those who’ve fought burnout, battled self-doubt, and decided to rebuild with purpose.

​

As the founder of Umbra Consulting, Boyd has spent years training sales teams and leaders across the country, helping them bridge the gap between pressure and performance through empathy, discipline, and mindset mastery. His approach blends real-world experience with Stoic philosophy, creating a framework for growth that’s as practical as it is powerful.

​

He is also the creator and host of The Quiet Practice™, a podcast about stillness, strength, and self-mastery in a world that won’t slow down. Through his writing and speaking, Boyd challenges people to look inward — to find strength not in noise or hype, but in composure, consistency, and quiet confidence.

His latest book, The Underachievers War: A Sales Guide for the Tired and Dangerous, is a raw and reflective look at what it means to keep showing up when the fire fades — and how to find meaning through discipline, not motivation.

​

When he’s not writing or speaking, Boyd is a father, husband, and relentless student of people — committed to helping others live, lead, and sell on their own terms.
