Some really nice things people say about Mike’s talks:

“I’ve listened to dozens of commencement addresses and attended many student assemblies over the years, but never have I seen students as attentive as when you addressed our local high school…looking around the room I could tell your message was connecting, and I found myself thinking how wonderful it would be if every high school student in North Dakota (even the Nation) could hear your challenging words. Thank you for bringing your message to our school.”

“Mike did a masterful job of articulating his major points and returning to them so the kids would remember the content of his talk. I was most impressed by the manner in which he engaged such a large group of students and related to them in a way that made them feel like he was talking to each of them individually. He is truly a gifted speaker and a good role model for our youth. I would highly recommend him as a speaker to teenagers.”
