3. Testimonials:Client Responses
“Brandon has a special gift, and uses everything he has to engage the audience with humor that is
he known for he then drives home his message. He did a tremendous job speaking to our high
school students and at a time that we needed to hear a positive and uplifting message the most,
he delivered right on cue. I would highly recommend him for any speaking engagement,
banquet or church event.” –Ricky Wilkinson, Cement H.S. Ag-Ed Instructor
“Brandon is an excellent speaker for any event or age group that you can imagine. I have been
fortunate enough to utilize his services at a youth conference, where he motivated students to go
back to their home towns and ignite their schools and communities, and also at a Oklahoma
Farm Bureau Leadership Conference for adults, where he encouraged them to step out of their
comfort zone and step up into the leadership role in front of them. In both cases, Brandon's
professionalism and desire to help others succeed shines through in his presentation. If you want
to leave an impact on your audience, Brandon is definitely someone I would recommend.”
-Holly Carroll, Oklahoma Farm Bureau
“I can’t thank Brandon enough for being our Speaker for the 2014 OASC D2 Student Council
Convention. I am grateful for his inspiring message that was fun, interactive and something the
high school students could understand and relate to. His enthusiasm and energy was perfect for
the event. The message that he delivered was spot on for the theme we had “The Power of
Traditions”. The centerpieces of his speech-leaving a legacy and the impact students can have in
their own schools were both awesome! I have to say that Brandon’s message was one of the best
we have had in a long time for our Student Council conventions. I really appreciated his message
and how it motivated the students to make an impact here at their schools and for their future.
Last but not least, I thought his wrap-up song was hilarious at the end of his message!” -
Jordan Hodge, STUCO Advisor, Guthrie High School
“Brandon came and spoke to our church this past year and we were blessed to have him.
Through his message, he uplifted our church congregation reminding us of the love and calling
God has on each of our hearts. Our congregation needed to hear this message. I highly
recommend Brandon to speak at any event you may have come up on your calendar. Your
audience will be greatly blessed and everyone will leave with a sense of purpose and action. I
guarantee that!”
