Thank you, thank you over and over, for the countless eye opening, Simple, but extraordinarily brilliant,life altering tips and nuances, that continue to impact me and a thousand others. I believe you’re moving people from okay to mediocre, and mediocre to excellence and empowering us to be our greatest self without fear and hesitation. You have inspired so many successes!Thank you! On a personal note, you have propelled me to call a meeting of my child’s school board, to address issues, that I feel are being neglected. So many have said, ” Don’t bother, this is status quo, nothing changes…
I will, as well 5,4,3,2,1, and go right to sharing another type of feedback. In your above interview, there is way too much “adult” language, as you call it. I teach my children, those words are fillers, for when we’ve lost the intelligent words to express ourselves… I Don’t think it is aligned with your brain and soul power (to quote you 🙂 nor is it aligned with your persona as a motivational role model. I have so much respect for you, and this has definitely not enhanced it. Also, I ‘ve been eager to share the videos with my children, and now, I hesitate. I trust you will give this some real evaluation.
Thank you again for enhancing the quality of my life so much!
Fondly, Chavi Rappaport
