    • “ Excellent speaker and material. ”
    • “ Cool topic. It was truly an honor having him. He was very detailed about some things and oversimplified on others. I was kind of taken back when he said that depression caused diabetes. That was new to me but then again: That's why the pay "him" the big bucks. I just finished up Daniel Amen's book and very interested in subjects about how the brain works. I'm glad to have heard him give a talk. He's an awesome speaker and would love to have him back. :) ”
    • “ Interesting and enjoyable. ”
    • “ Lecturer was clearly an expert on his subject matter and did an excellent job of arranging his presentation in a clear and logical order. He addressed the subject of the lecture as promised. Whether it was deliberately worked into the presentation or would have been anyway, the questions I submitted in advance were all addressed. ”
    • “ Josh--GREAT meetup . . . very interesting topic and speaker. ”
