What the students say!

Shana Somado—11th grade

“I learned about values and how important they are. I feel so confident in making decisions to becoming my best version.”

Billal Saidi—University of Minnesota

“His way of presenting and describing his life story was truly inspiring. As he spoke, I could picture his entire journey vividly.”

I broke my family traditions and left my dream job.

Saying “I don’t know” made me chase a bigger dream. So, I fearlessly led with my heart. I hired a life coach to feel comfortable in my own skin. Then, I hired a business coach to change my sales mindset.

Thank you for your time and dedication to this work.”

    Britney Hayes — Cargill thrive Program Coordinator, University of Minnesota

  • “Bert is great! He was exceptional at connecting with students & sharing his story. He was realistic, yet positive, & provided many relatable stories by which young people could connect. Bert helped students see themselves outside of high school and encouraged kids to start planning & envisioning the life they aspire for.”

    Samuel Neisen — Career Exploration & Work-Based Learning Teacher, Brooklyn Center High School

  • "Bert was very intentional about crafting a speaking session that met our vision. He was very engaging with our students, passionate, and enthusiastic. During his presentation, he put a lot of emphasis on the phrase “I don’t know”, implying that it’s okay to not know something."

    PaDee Vue — College & Career Readiness Coordinator

  • "Thank you for the inspiring presentation at Metro State University's Spring Recovery Conference. As a Community Leader, Organizer, and Director at Metro State, I thought of how your story could inspire many young men and women in our communities."
