In twenty minutes, he blended an amazing number of emotions with antidotes that left us laughing, left us with great pride, left us with sadness and finally left us with tears as he concluded his speech.  I have listened to many great leadership and motivational speakers and Jason is simply awesome.  He has a natural leadership ability and a stage presence that commands instant respect, along with  a humble self-deprecating sense of humor.  He has an naturally greats communication ability and an incredible personal journey to share.  I find that great speeches force people to think and Jay did that extremely well.   We actually had clients say his speech "changed their lives".
