Joe Schmit came to present at Gustavus Adolphus College for a Leadership Development Series. Joe did a phenomenal job! He was engaging, entertaining, inspiring, and motivational. He captured everyone's attention right from the start, and kept the audience engaged through the entire one hour presentation. After the event, I received many comments from students who felt inspired and motivated by his presentation! He is someone we hope to bring back on campus
for numerous occasions.

"I’ve had the pleasure of watching Joe on television as the Twin Cities best sports anchor and act as the master of ceremonies at many charity events. His experience in sports, business, and as a man who puts family first blends together to enable him to deliver a message that is relevant and connects with many types of audiences. Joe is high energy yet a good listener, in touch and involved. Every time I spend time with Joe, it is an enjoyable and educational experience."
