I heard from multiple team members today during and after your talk…

  • ‘He's so inspiring.’
  • ‘Can he come work on our marketing team?’
  • ‘This guy is a badass.’
  • ‘He should do motivational speaking.’
  • ‘This was so awesome.’

Thank you for taking the time. Truly. It resonated with me and much of our team… and I am sure it made a lot of our people just a little bit better. Lucky to have you along for the journey with us.

I just wanted to personally say thank you for bringing [Jay]today's presenter to our meeting. I really needed that talk. For a long while now, the frustration I've been dealing with was really breaking me down and I started questioning if I was doing the right thing, am I the right fit for this. But to see such a successful person say and do the exact same things that I'm currently doing, it re-energized me.
