“On behalf of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association I want to express our sincere gratitude for your keynote address delivered at our 29th Annual Conference. Our attendees were profoundly moved by your personal story of fighting addiction and body dysmorphic disorder. While most speakers leave at the conclusion of their presentation, we were very impressed that you remained, making yourself available to converse with our attendees and provide insight into your experiences. You shared your story of recovery with an energy and eloquence that left our attendees feeling validated for their contributions in the treatment of mental illness and substance use disorders. You are an inspirational speaker and your presentation provided motivation for all of us. I have heard only positive responses from our more than 1800 attendees! You really came through and delivered for us!“-Nicolas Croce Jr., MS-Executive Director, American Psychiatric Nurses Association.
“Mr. Cuban was the keynote speaker for The Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse’s annual Power of Prevention Luncheon. To say Mr. Cuban’s message was well-received would be an understatement. Feedback about our event in general was positive beyond our greatest expectations, and comments about Mr. Cuban’s presentation in particular have been outstanding. He wove together the history of his struggles with a message of hope; not just “what happened,” but also how he escaped the grips of a mental health crisis and embraced recovery. Mr. Cuban is a skilled speaker. He is so able to talk from his heart that he doesn’t need notes.”-Debbie Meripolski Executive Director
