Brian spoke to our top group of insurance brokers at an educational conference this month. His presentation was very motivational for attendees and extremely entertaining at the same time. Between the motivational message of picking your Mount Everest to climb, his funny anecdotes from the various occupations he's had and the amazing pictures and videos of Mt. Everest climb, I noticed all of the attendees were captivated and engaged.

I've always been inspired by Brian's story …. a great, great story to bring to our entire team to get them to think about that personal challenge and commitment … really reinforced everything we're trying to accomplish … to get people to look at their goals. The audience just loved it—standing ovation at the end. It was just fantastic! Brian is so inspirational! The pictures and photography were beautiful. The way music is tied in. It was an excellent show and key to the success of this meeting for us.

I didn't think you could top your presentation from when you joined us before but I was wrong! I have been attending our Partner Forum for nearly a decade. We have had some talented keynote presenters in that span, but there have been only TWO who have received a standing ovation … that was the first time you attended our conference and when you returned!

Brian’s presentation, The Spirit of Adventure, is awe-inspiring! His message is not only about his journey towards Everest but about your journey through life. His stories helped me reflect on my journey, my “Everest” in life. Brian connects with the audience through photography, music and story-telling, all of which captured my heart and mind. Brian makes his adventures relatable to all aspects of life.
