Gary MacDermid's Transformative Impact
"I have been so impressed by Gary MacDermid. He is the refreshingly inspiring type of speaker who tells it like it is and connects with his audience in a manner that surprises you. After his speech on my TV show Speak Up TV on Amazon Prime, the audience was raving about him. Some even shed a tear and couldn't stop talking about how great he was. Aside from speaking, he is just a real guy who cares and has helped many who are deeply grateful for his guidance. I have the blessing to be able to only choose a handful of mentees whom I want to work with rather than I need to work with and Gary is one of them with whom I want to work. I don't often give out high compliments as I am such a critic but you are in good hands surrounding yourself with Gary."
