Robert Hartwell at The Unstoppable
Breaking New Ground, a MAX Original hosted and executive produced by Robert Hartwell

Robert Hartwell spent ten years performing on Broadway before turning what Broadway taught him into The Broadway Collective, an Inc. 5000 education company that has generated millions in revenue.

A story he shared about buying his historic home on Juneteenth reached millions of people and became Breaking New Ground, the award winning television series he hosted and executive produced with Oprah Winfrey’s OWN, HGTV and the Scott Brothers. The series now streams on MAX. Robert is also a judge on That Thrifting Show on Hulu, and his work has been featured by CBS Mornings, Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, The New York Times, People and Elle Decor.

Today Robert helps entrepreneurs build signature offers and tell signature stories that lead to paid speaking, press, and high-net-worth clients. He has built two multi-seven-figure businesses of his own: The Broadway Collective, founded in 2016 and named to the Inc. 5000, and Strength on Stages, launched in 2022.

A University of Michigan musical theatre graduate, Robert understands how to turn expertise, lived experience and a clear point of view into stories that create attention, trust and business opportunity. He splits his time between New York City and his historic home in Massachusetts.
