"How can I possibly thank you for being, by far and hands down not only the best speaker the AMA has ever had, but for most, the best speaker they have ever heard!  Our members just LOVED Sam, the presentation was perfect, it was funny, heart-felt and honest.  For me personally, since this was my first Trade Show with the AMA, and Sam was my choice there was a lot riding on his presentation, the members were either going to love everything or dislike me for changing the format.  They opted for the "loved everything", and could not stop telling me and our Board of Directors how impactful his presentation was and how much they wanted to hire him to speak to their own companies.  On another personal note, and I had seen the video online, but the painting portion with the LCD projector, the light and the way the painting comes to life is just phenomenal.  This presentation surpassed my expectations times 100% (and I entered into it with high expectations). You also made me look so good to our members, another aspect I will always be grateful to you for.  Michelle, I really appreciate how detailed you always were and how diligent with the communication.  Sam, you were so considerate and professional I just cannot thank you enough! Thank you for the amazing presentation and amazing experience!!! I sincerely hope we have the chance to work together again!"

"To say Sam Glenn is inspirational would be an understatement. His authentic, charismatic presentation set the tone for our entire conference. He was scheduled for the early morning, and the audience appeared glum and tired, but within minutes he had lifted the mood in the room with tears of laughter. Our attendees couldn't get enough of his charm and wit. He started our weekend with a fantastic message! We sincerely hope to work with him again in the future"

"I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed listening to you yesterday at the MPI Knowledge Quest.  My stomach hurts (not a bad thing) a little today from laughing so hard.  I left yesterday with a great attitude – so great that the parking lot attendant gave me  $5.00 off my parking fee just because I was smiling.  I will be sure to pass your name on to the meeting and event planners that I work with. You are spectacular and have a great gift of affecting people personally and professionally."

"Sam was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I anticipate you getting several inquiries to book him from the attendees who are involved in other conferences. The comments on the conference evaluations were just incredible regarding him and his presentation! I am so proud to have recommended him and the committee listened to me. People were talking about him throughout the whole conference! If you EVER need a reference or any type of hype what-so-ever, please feel free to call upon me. He is an unbelievable man! I hope to be able to book him for some of our local conferences in Chicago so he won't have to travel and so we can keep the art work! We offered  the drawing to our local Salt Lake office and they were so thrilled they were besides themselves! He really impacted the whole group. He had tears in my eyes again I laughed so hard. He is my inspiration. Although I already have a pretty good sense of humor to start with."

"Sam did an excellent job.  He had the crowd in the palm of his hands.  They were saying this was the best presentation they had heard.  I also heard people rephrasing their comments from negative to positive.  One of my teachers was really impressed by the PowerPoint play on the artwork that made it come to life.  Please tell Sam thanks for the great job and we will definitely be recommending him to others."

"Thank you so much for presenting at Meeting Professional International Texas Hill Country Chapter’s CAMP MPI. You were a true champion! It takes a really special speaker to impress a group of meeting professionals. We have to be one tough audience because we hire and hear speakers on a regular basis! I have heard such high praise from numerous attendees. You made us laugh, reflect, and even shed a few tears. I keep your message with me daily- I want to be bigger and better! I am so grateful we hired you over all others and hope to have a chance to work with you again soon!"

"Our attendees were so thrilled with Sam’s presentation that they want him to speak at our Spring Convention. Sam’s very humorous personal stories made for an enjoyable, yet informative presentation. Attendees were able to relate to these anecdotes and everyone walked out of our Awards Banquet laughing and clearly "lightened up," after a day of educational sessions. Thanks Sam for a very entertaining, hilarious and enjoyable evening!!!!"

"I just watched your bit on RFDTV that is showing the National FFA Convention. I would like to say WOW! You did an awesome job. My husband is an agriculture instructor from Wisconsin and is down there right now with a busload of students and families. I was unable to attend the convention with him but he made mention of your bit. Your motivational message was so uplifting and you made me smile many times throughout your speech and made me think about things in my own daily life. Just wanted to say Great job!"

"Oh my gosh!! Everything went so well today! I was really nervous at first, just because I wasn't sure how everything would work out. But Sam was wonderful!
