What other organizations say about Jesse Itzler
Jesse was a big hit. Between us, our host was not so sure about the session coming out it, as he worried it was a little too out of left field, but the feedback form our guests was unanimously positive. This is a spouse/guest-included event, and it was a powerful to have a speaker who really spoke from the heart and whose message is very visceral/emotional.
