" Justin and Patrick are two of the most inspiring and entertaining speakers I've heard. We were more than moved. We were changed after hearing their story!"
Donald Miller
NYT Best-Selling Author and Founder of StoryBrand
"Justin and Patrick's presentation was among the liveliest, most searing and memorable events that we in the Garaventa Center for Catholic Intellectual Life and American Culture have had. Our event had standing room only in the largest performance space on the University of Portland campus. I recommend this speaking team to anyone who seeks a challenging message of perseverance, spirituality, and ingenuity. They were gracious and flexible to work with and they far exceeded our expectations!"
Karen Eifler PhD
Co-Director, Garaventa Center, University of Portland
"If you're looking for an inspirational message about friendship, commitment, overcoming challenges, or the power of community, then I urge you to hire Justin and Patrick for your next speaking event! They will deliver, your attendees will be inspired, and you will look like a genius for deciding to share with your company, members, or conference attendees a life-changing adventure."
Ben Quintana, SPHR
Director, Organizational Effectiveness at St. Luke's Health System, Idaho
"My Thesaurus does not contain enough superlative words to describe the exceptional keynote presentation that Justin and Patrick offered. The most common review was simply ‘inspirational’. Some people define relationships by tallying so-called friends on social media, but Justin and Patrick characterize – and live by – the true, traditional meaning of friendship. You must hear their remarkable story."
Alan Sherbinin
CEO, MUSE International
"We engaged with Justin and Patrick to share their story of friendship to almost 3000 caregivers in 11 different sessions at our hospital. Their style of narrating their 500-mile journey on the Camino de Santiago brought laughter and tears to our audiences. Our employees really connected with their individual challenges of being the caregiver and the one who receives care. It renewed and inspired everyone to remember the importance of their role and how they make a difference every day!"
Roz Gil
Director, Patient Experience at St. Joseph Health, Orange, CA
"One of the unique aspects of this speaking team is that the audience is given the perspective of a friend and co-journeyer. As powerful a story as Justin's life is, it is equally moving to hear Patrick's side of the story and to hear how emotionally straining it is to watch a best friend suffer. In a world that is often consumed with the superficial, our campus found ourselves struggling with the deeper truths of life: love, sacrifice, courage and community."
Rev. Dustin & Rev. Olivia Metcalf
University Chaplains, Northwest Nazarene University
