“Kantis’ talk took me from a “C” student to a 4.0 freshman, but his 7.25 System made me a better all-around person. And now a graduate.”
-William Powell, Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA


“I had to pick a speech to go to for one of my classes and randomly I chose yours. I'm definitely glad I did. I thought that it would be another boring presentation I had to sit through, but that was the most fun I've had where I've had to listen to a motivational speaker. The fact that you involved the audience the entire time, you didn’t just preach to us and the passion you had while in front of us definitely made it worth my time. You really seem to love your job and made me realize I need a job that's not about money, but what I love to do or my heart’s deepest desire. I guess the saying is true, "Do something you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life" 
-Camille Marie Chirillo, Radford University, Freshman, Radord, VA


“Through the often overwhelming and pressing demands of being a Biology pre-med major, Kantis’ book is a reference tool for me but your talk and speech reminded me that I am “GREAT” and I can prosper academically and be a great success.  Your 7.25 system is a practical tool that keeps me on track, i.e. organized, prepared, and on top of my game. Plus, It encourages me not to give up, and that I really can do all things...including acing Organic Chemistry, mastering Cell biology, managing work and social activities! “   
-  Aprielle Brackery, Student, Hampton University, Hampton, VA
