“Alvin’s life and experiences are truly one of a kind. There are many great motivational speakers out there, but Alvin makes such a powerful and positive impact that leaves us all with a truly lasting impression that you can overcome anything that life throws at you. We all face challenges and struggles in our life, but Alvin’s example and authenticity speak to our souls that we can find a way to joy and success. I am forever grateful to know Alvin and his story!”
Eric Driscoll, CEO, United Ag & Turf NE, LLC

“After a discussion about our campaign’s theme, Alvin delivered an engaging tailored presentation that helped encompass our theme through the power of storytelling! Alvin’s online presence was electric and folks learned more about both Alvin, and the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion at Shopify, and also outside of Shopify!”
Karina Cotran, Knowledge Management Specialist, Shopify

“You were just fabulous, and by far the best of our speakers over the past several years. I’m particularly grateful for how well you integrated our messages into your presentation. You have a wonderful knack for getting the most hard boiled of the group involved. You even had the biggest cynic in the group laughing himself silly. It is clearly your mission to fill the world with the light and warmth of zoot zoot! Ta Da!!”

“Yesterday as I closed the conference, I offered, in my best Amanda Gore-esque way, that ‘clearly the best thing to happen to me since Sunday night’ was meeting all of you Hard Rockers”; to which the reply was a deafening ‘zoot, zoot, zoot’ and several ‘ta dahs.’ You did it, Amanda! We had an aggressive schedule and objectives. You set a tone that offered that, by being positive and caring, we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to. The plans are well on their way to completion. I would be completely remiss if I did not share with you that you struck a chord with the entire group. And as you know, it was a very skeptical group.”
