When Charlie Speaks"Open, honest, real, and amazing." - Kevin Coulson, ReThink GNV attendee "When we approached Charlie to speak to a group of Veterans, there was no hesitation in his acceptance, and boy did he knock it out of the park! His message was spot on and the audience was truly engaged. We hope his schedule will allow him to speak at all of our future events as well!" - Phil Randazzo, Founder, American Dream U "Charlie has a unique ability to capture any type of audience and get them to think outside of the box - including innovative hackers and entrepreneurs that never turn off. Instead of the typical internet tycoon, VC, or over-worked startup founder, I wanted to bring in someone with a fresh, philosophical perspective. Even though he was the only one speaking, he had a conversation with every single person in the room. And that influential conversation continued well after he left. It’s very rare to find someone who’s able to give advice to an anonymous audience like they would to their best friend. And that’s what makes Charlie’s talks that much more powerful - you’ll see the tangible effects instantly." - Anjali Kundra, Startup Weekend Lead Organizer "The concept of play was subtle yet, at the same time, mind-blowing. It really puts every relationship in perspective. Simple, calm, but deep and provocative." - Scott Cutshall “This guy is a champion for me. I was giddy with ideas after his speech. I felt energized, as if a rocket had been shoved up my trousers and lit with a match." “Like the majority of my fellow graduating class out there blasting out resumes, I didn’t get a job right out of college like I thought I would. But after applying Charlie's advice, I got two offers: a marketing manager position with a Fortune 500 company and to co-found a start up.” “I wish I could make a time warp so I could've heard this when I was 22. Truly some of the best advice I've heard from anyone in a long time.” “While Charlie's message is geared to young 20 somethings, it’s applicable to everyone. In fact, I would say it’s even more important to the older folk out there. It’s never too late to start doing what you really love.” When Charlie Writes |
