Following the event, throughout the entire day in classrooms, hallways and in the cafeteria you could hear students, teachers and faculty members having conversations about his challenge to our campus. Kevin's inspiring story and message behind it was the spark we needed, like someone flipping the switch, Kevin's message is so inspiring and it has been a catalyst for change at our school and district.”

"What an amazing person and an amazing story that is absolutely relevant for everything we do here day-in, day-out. Everyone really appreciated it and I was blown away by it all. What a great sense of humor and example for all of us to emulate. I haven't stopped thinking about Kevin - and how many lives he's influenced through his story. He was humble, articulate, determined."

Dabo Swinney, Clemson Tigers head football coach

“Kevin Atlas spoke to our team during camp and did a great job. His message of optimism, empathy, focusing on what control, making your weaknesses your greatest strengths, building results through your habits, and eliminating negativity was a perfect message for all of us especially during this year of 2020. He was genuine, transparent, funny and really connected with our team. He is an amazing story and walking testimony of perseverance and taking what you have and making the most of it.”

Jerry Canning, Google Industry Director & Sales

"Kevin has one of the most incredible stories I have ever heard. The kids love Kevin, he is a great speaker and even a better person. I look forward to having Kevin speak again!"
