Keynote Speech on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
WHERE: Middletown - Beard School, Middletown, NJ.
WHEN: Friday, January 18, 2013
I chose to challenge the students to appreciate the luxuries before them, upgrade their respect for preparation and diligence, to maintain a positive mental attitude, and get off their iPads as often as possible in order to pay true attention to the people who have their best interests in mind. Felt like they were rocking with me too. I owe a huge thanks to my manager Scott Barkham, Tracy Barrett, Rob Mitchell and the entire Morristown-Beard staff and administration. You guys have some really bright kids on your hands. You're killing it! Thank you so much for having me.

This guy is part of a little band you might have heard of before: The Roots.

One love for the invite and the incredible food, my mellow.
