"John’s presentation at the New England Relocation Association conference was the sharpest and most insightful explanation of the current macro economy I’ve heard. He doesn’t just “talk the talk,” he thoughtfully has mastered the factors that have led to where we are today, and understands what must be done to initiate growth in the United States and world economy. Importantly, he can convey these complex ideas in a straight-forward, clear and concise manner — something few of his peers can do. John is engaging, likable and pensive. Several members of our association ecstatically declared how impressed they were with his presentation. He should be on CNBC and CNN every day."

"John was a great keynote speaker for us. His material was timely, and his ability to make complex themes accessible and interesting for our audience meant many found his to be the most valuable presentation of the event. Due to COVID-19, we had to pivot from a physical to online event, and John was able to adapt to the new format very easily. From a logistical point of view, John was easy to contact and great to work with, and we’re looking forward to working with him again – hopefully in person!"
