"The opportunity I got right off the bat was a first paid gig, which is amazing. That's what everybody wants as a speaker. Speaker Slam® is a launching pad. It gives you that belief that you belong on the stage."

Patrick Morrison

"I'm speaking on stages across the country, on Bay Street, in the US, and even in the EU. This idea of focusing on the power of pausing has completely changed the entire trajectory of my speaking career."

"Because of Speaker Slam® and the first talk I gave, one performance led to an introduction to a judge, which led to an introduction to an agent. Now so many wide open doors in the speaking space are taking place because of that one introduction."

"After stepping on the Speaker Slam® stage, I was able to get a lot more PR because I had a high quality video of the way I speak and perform on stage. That made me more trustworthy to news outlets. Even if you don't win, you still win."

"It literally changed my life. Between Dan and his publicity and training, and Rina and her skills and Momentum classes, I've had TV appearances, radio, magazine articles, and now Grand Slam. They've created this amazing culture and community."
