"Richard was a hit, not always easy for a closing speaker. He nailed it and received a standing ovation! He was very gracious, motivating, and I would recommend Richard for other audiences."

"The event was spectacular! Richard's talk was really great. Everyone love it and remained engaged the entire time. I've never seen an audience that big here, nor have I sat through an hour plus presentation without 75% of the audience losing interest and start messing with their phones. Thank you for making this happen, I'm very proud of what we all accomplished together."

"Richard was amazing and received a standing ovation. Our attendees LOVED him and our CEO is a big fan! He is one of a kind and one of my most favorite speakers to work with, Thanks also to your team---you guys do such a good job with all the behind the scenes things that have to occur."

"It went very well and we've had great feedback! The business attendees loved Richard and the student attendees gave him a standing ovation--nearly unheard of from high schoolers!"
