I really though given the setting; Jeff was able to keep the crowd engaged the whole presentation. This was a black history themed presentation, Jeff was able to educate us and also deliver the content in a manner that was easy to digest. Jeff set the tone from the introduction and left everyone post presentation with something to really think about “the 51%”.  

Ibrahim Bello

“The real thanks goes to Jeff Martin…he had the inspiration. I told him, its one thing to have the ten men, its another thing to be the one who actually gathered the other 9 together to get the book done. Remarkable!”
