Larry’s presentation was filled with a treasure trove of experiences to guide and inspire those who have an entrepreneurial spirit. It takes an expert entrepreneur to awaken that same life-force hidden in others and he does it with the perfect amount of honesty, humor and directives. It is unusual for a successful business leader to willingly expose their own struggles to encourage others to forge ahead through rocky terrain to reach that place of victory. Larry is special and we highly recommend his instructive and encouraging messages to any audience.
