“Kevin was an outstanding motivational speaker for our team. He hit the entire team like a freight train at a personal level.

I really appreciated his challenge that we can all be a hero in our own way. Kevin spoke about mental illness issues that I think all of us face at some point in our lives. This was impactful as I think as a society, we tend to shelve these discussions due to fear and unworthiness.”
