"Successful beyond my expectations."
“In December 2015 I was preparing to give the commencement address at the University of Texas at Austin - College of Natural Sciences. Jim helped me overcome my nervousness, be myself in front of 10,000 people, and deliver a very personal speech in my own style. Jim was easy to work with and even showed up at my house at 9:00 AM on the day of the ceremony for a final run-through. As a result of our work together, the speech was successful beyond my expectations.”
