Dr. Damon Friedman was great. We had some tremendous speakers at our Fall Conference and several of our advisers said that Dr. Freidman was the best! He really interacted with our advisers during our lunch as well, which was a very nice bonus. I would highly recommend Dr. Damon Friedman at any Broker/Dealer event!

Damon did a fantastic job of keeping everyone captivated and engaged. He not only spoke about how to persevere through insurmountable obstacles but how to do it the right way when doing it right seems overwhelmingly impossible.

Our audience at the Alabama Police Chiefs Association 2017 Summer Conference was beyond impressed with Damon. There were over 300 police chiefs in attendance and Damon's military and personal experiences connected well with the group. I had heard from a veteran Air Force officer that Damon was a compelling speaker and at the Chiefs conference I got to witness this first hand. Damon has a great ability to relate to audiences and move people to action
