"I want to sincerely express my appreciation for the presentation you gave last week at SRC. Your inspirational message was heartfelt by our employees and their families. I read and heard some really amazing stories from those that attended expressing the impact it had on them. I have also personally been reflecting on my life and your message. Sharing your personal struggles with such passion, commitment, energy and confidence really brought your words to life and resonated with everyone in the room, regardless of their age. Thank you for inspiring our employees and their families to make positive choices and live fulfilling lives."

"Applause, applause, applause! What a fantastic, inspirational program -- a real "A" Show you presented for our staff in Seminole County last week! I wanted to personally extend my thanks and appreciation for you and your staffs’ time and effort. I also wanted to let you know that your inspirational and motivational message was heard and received, moving several of our staff -- even a veteran homicide prosecutor -- to tears. Lessons on goal setting are of tantamount importance for our youth, but don't discount us older guys needing a timely reminder. For those of us who work in the public domain, we find that occasionally we get jaded or discouraged. It takes the shock value of a dynamic presenter such as yourself to remind us of the goal, the quest, that brought us to this work and to re-inspire us. You were a real Superstar according to everyone in attendance." ~Norman R. Wolfinger - Florida State Attorney
"Marc spoke at Johnston Paper to our sales and inside teams. As adults we have subtly been programmed to think hard work leads to success and success leads to happiness. After Marc's presentation our teams realized this thinking was broken. Marc's presentation highlighted happiness is a precursor to success. Happiness will fuel a more productive and positive employee, who in turn will excel at satisfying the expectations of our customers. A happy employee will work to grow team work, which will give our company the competitive advantage. Marc energized our teams. Marc's book was an added benefit which allows our staff to re-visit his message of thinking positive, dreaming big, getting back up and believing the best is yet to come." ~Tom Lewis - President, Johnston Paper Company
“I wanted to personally thank you for your very inspiring and informative presentation to the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators. The feedback I received from the members was outstanding. I have not seen the level of excitement and enthusiasm created by your presentation to law enforcement in any of our past engagements."
~David Krika - Lieutenant
Criminal Investigations / Narcotics Division Commander
“You are such a successful speaker, and I’ll tell you why... you touch the soul of each listener and at the same time you bring a positive message. This time, we didn’t just listen to a speaker we related to your experiences; it was real and relevant. It was meaningful! I live everyday trying to apply your message to my own life and bringing it to my students. Thank you again so much. You are so successful, you touch people in a positive way! YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" ~Coach Palacio - Legacy Middle School
