"Barry is a great speaker- Ihighly recommend him for any audience interested in entrepreneurship." ”
Steve Mariotti, Founder & President of the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)

Barry was "on" from the minute he hit campus – welcoming our guests, chatting with our students and warming up the crowd. He delivered an entertaining and informative message with 1000 watt energy. One of the highlights of the evening was the Q&A session, when one of the entrepreneurs in the audience said "you just told my life story". Another guest was so impressed that she bought a copy of Barry's book for every person in her company. Afterward, he was the last to leave, signing books and answering questions until the very end. Barry provides exactly what he promises - High Impact and High Energy”.
Anne McCarthy, Ph. D., Dean, Merrick School of Business
