“I recently booked Jeff for a gathering where he made us laugh, ponder life, and even cry a bit (in the best way possible). Jeff’s time before us was truly transformational and his message about experiencing the “golden years” of life right now instead of later has stayed with me and changed the way I think. Jeff is a fantastic communicator for any group and you’ll be so happy you invited him in.”
