Biography
Born in Atlanta, GA and the son of Liberian immigrants, Rennie and Josie Curran, he has a diverse background with humble beginnings. He began his football career at Brookwood High School in Snellville, GA becoming the all-time leading tackler in Gwinnett County history. He was initially considered undersized according to various critics, but quickly silenced the doubters by exploding onto the field as a true freshman at the University of Georgia.
​
His experiences of overcoming many circumstances to reach his childhood dream of becoming a 3-time All American, Butkus Award Finalist, permanent team Captain, a 3rd round draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft (Tennessee Titans) and transitioning into becoming a successful entrepreneur has given him a unique perspective on what it takes to handle adversity and maximize opportunities while having a positive impact on others.
​
Through his innovative presentations he teaches individuals, teams, and organizations how to transform their personal and professional lives through leadership, teamwork, and personal development. Rennie has been counseling and inspiring people for many years. He is the CEO of Game Changer Coaching whose mission is to help business executives and entrepreneurs become high performing leaders by improving performance, personal brand, and communication skills.
​
In 2013, he published a motivational self-help book entitled ‘Free Agent’ The Intangibles for Overcoming Adversity and Times of Transition. This motivational self-help book discusses how to overcome adversity during the times of transition that we all face along our journey to achieve our dreams. He also has a children’s book entitled “What Does It Take to Be a Star” which was co-written with his daughter, Eleana Curran.
The book taps into every child’s curiosity to find their own personal greatness by helping them to realize that being a Star has less to do with your title and more to do with who you are as a person. Rennie obtained a Bachelors of Business Administration from University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business and a certification in Life and Business coaching from the Life Purpose Institute. He has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, Fox Sports, ESPN College GameDay, The Huffington Post, and much more.

Oconee State Bank
Rennie Curran did a phenomenal job for our company, Oconee State Bank. He was the keynote speaker at our quarterly meeting. As the CEO of the bank,I was impressed with how he related to our team. I received several comments from key team members about how impactful Rennie’s comments were to them. One of the main reasons for his success with our team is the job he did preparing and learning about our company ahead of time. We had several key takeaways.
