“Dr. Snyder, your story has to be one of the most inspiring stories I have ever heard in my life. The aspect that made it so inspiring was the fact that you never gave up. You had so many setbacks and others told you it wouldn’t happen, yet you did not let those things get in your way. You continued and persisted – and then you were rewarded. You made me realize that I should follow my dream too, no matter what the probability of it is. Therefore, I have decided to do whatever it takes to become President of the United States. I envision this achievement like you did for The Price is Right! I hope you will vote for me when the time comes! Again, thank you for inspiring me to follow my dream!” ~ Tanner, Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership (HOBY) Conference

“I had the privilege of hearing Kevin speak at my company’s annual meeting and it was a very moving experience for me. Most of the inspirational speeches I’ve heard in my life are very cookie cutter, predictable, and conventional. What I appreciated about Kevin is he was very unconventional, genuine, and understood the real problems that real people go through for the majority of their lives. His overall message left me thinking about how I can help other people who might be struggling. If you’re looking for a speaker that will make a difference at your event, Kevin is the man!” ~ Jonathan Goudy, Fidelty Bank
“I booked Kevin’s very first speaking gig back in 2002. Since then, I’ve booked Kevin several times and had the opportunity to watch him grow and develop his speaking to a level far beyond my expectations. He’s keynoted for over 1,000 groups in all 50 states because his keynotes are that good. If you need a guaranteed bet for a speaker who can deliver a high-energy presentation that engages and entertains your audience with relevant content, Kevin is your guy. He’ll have your audience not only up on their feet, but they’ll leave saying Kevin’s program was one of the best, most engaging and powerful presentations they’ve ever seen. Book Kevin while he’s available!” ~ Michael Farley, Charlotte College of Law
