Eric – in a world of global diversity you have demonstrated that anything is possible. Your journey from South Central Los Angeles to sharing the stages in 10 different countries with the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Tim Ferris, Harry Dent, and world leaders like Prime Minister of Australia John Howard you have shown that colour, race, gender, and religion doesn’t prohibit one from following their DREAMS. Your ability to bring various themes into the motivational speech impressed me, our program committee, and the 800 strong in attendance. We especially liked the tangible objects you gave to each audience member, symbolizing the topic and message you delivered. ‘Getting off the Nail’ will resonate with me and the audience forever. Your presentation was an integral component of our Diversity Theme. We walked away with more than just a few philosophical ideals; we learned how to put diversity and inclusion into action. Eric you are a great role model and inspiration to all that hear you. Keep helping people ‘get off the nail’!
