"Wow, the event was a great, HUGE success. Your piece was without fail the highlight. I lost track of how many people came up to me individually, in person, to thank me for inviting you and your presentation. It was a wonderful hit! Thank you. Your talk was inspiring, funny, heartfelt, moving... what else can I say? People really felt a connection and I'm positive every single person will have moments over the next few year(s) when they think back to that... 'If Jeff can lead a blind man up Everest... well hell, I can..... ' All a good wake up call and a good boost for our people as we maneuver through these rough times."
