Best speaker we’ve had in 10 years! Clint Pulver was authentic, refreshing and captivated every student to find his or her purpose in life.Shari Reeder – Career Counselor

Davey will elaborate on a lot of the lessons he shared in his episode of The Harbor – what he’s learned from being adopted, seeing his family go through divorce, living in a single-family home, drug abuse, depression, etc. Although his assemblies will discuss some serious topics, Davey will also focus more on how we can find the shovel to dig ourselves out of our rut; how we can find that thing we’re so passionate about that it will see us through all of our hardships. Whether it be music (as in David’s case), art, sports, or just stepping outside of our comfort zone and working hard at something we want – Davey feels we can all find a way to help ourselves and then lend a helping hand to others.

Davey was a tremendous speaker and an inspiration to the students.  We used him as our kick-off to our anti-bullying theme for the year, which is “Overcoming Adversity”.  The students and staff could not be more complimentary to Davey and his presentation.  The kids were totally taken by his words and appreciated his candor.  You know a presentation is good, when a large amount of students stay behind to meet the speaker and take pictures even  though they would be late for lunch.  Davey is a wonderful and a true inspiration to us all. Rick Delmnonaco – Arthur L. Johnson High School (Clark Public Schools)

Davey really connected with our students, especially our most at risk. We have brought in speakers each year and most of our seniors said that they liked Davey the best (or second best next to Mike Smith). We are a diverse school and Davey’s message was on point. Highly recommend him to any school that is super diverse or that has a high at risk population. Kristin Murphy – Mountain View High School

I wanted to share with you the impact he had on my daughter. She is a freshman at Blue Valley High School. She is a really great kid and gets a lot of grief for the fact that she is a “goody-goody”. It’s not often that she attends an assembly that stops her in her tracks. She has not stopped talking about Mr. Muise. His story truly impacted her. I just thought you should know. Marie King – Parent Blue Valley High School

Davey did a phenomenal job speaking to the students in the large group and the small groups. He held their attention and really hit home with a lot of the students. We received nothing but positive feedback from faculty and students at both high schools. It was wonderful to have him speak to the small classes and really interact with the students.

The Crazy Ones
Audience: Teens or Young Adults
Length: 45-60 minutes

“The people, who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Have you ever met someone who is crazy?
Not the kind where you’re confined to a straight jacket and restricted to ‘Shutter Island’.

I’m talking about the kind of crazy that you don’t understand at first or second or fifteenth glance. The crazy that sits in silence and hears a song that has never been written, the kind that stares at an empty canvas and sees a work of art or gazes at a red planet and see’s a laboratory on wheels.

Johan believes that we all have a little bit of crazy in us that is waiting to be unleashed. His story is CRAZY, to say the least. He is a product of Humboldt Park Chicago, one of the roughest areas in Chicago; an area where he has witnessed everything from friends being killed to family members living destructive lives. An area of Chicago, he was told, he would never get out of. An area where, he was told, he would never make it, never amount to anything, never succeed, never create, never inspire.

Johan refused to believe the messages of his environment. Instead, he was crazy enough to believe his life could make a difference. He was crazy enough to make choices that no one else was making; he decided to live a life worth living as a teen and young adult.

Now he is spending his life encouraging kids to be crazy enough to think that their lives can make a difference. While others use their voice to be “realistic”, Johan motivates kids to move past reality and begin to dream and create even the craziest of possibilities for their lives and the world around them.

Topics Covered in The Crazy Ones Include…

• The Power of Healthy Choices
• The Importance of Goals and Dreams
• Critical Thinking
• Striving for Excellence
• Believing in yourself
• The Significance of Good Role Models
• Becoming an Agent of Change
• Withstanding Peer Pressure

Strength And Honor: Manhood And The Masculine Journey
Audience: Teens or Young Adults
Length 45-60 Minutes

I’m A Real Man! Those words spill out of the mouths of males of every shape, size, age, and color. But what do those words really mean? Have we really figured out the mystery of masculinity? Do we know what a real man looks and acts like? Or have we bought into our culture’s perception of manhood and masculinity?

In this informative and thought-provoking session, Johan leads us through some of the primary misconceptions of manhood and then unveils the primal essence of a “man”…

Because being a “man” and a male aren’t one in the same.

Topics covered in “Strength and Honor” Include…

• The Top Misconceptions of Manhood
• The Result of false “Manhood”
• Masculinity defined
• The True Essence of a Man

Johan was an excellent speaker. He spoke to three different groups of students. Audience size ranged from 500 to 900 students in grades 9-12. His message of perseverance, be the change you want to be and “to be a little crazy” left an impact on our school. He was professional in every way. We would definitely have him back again. Nathan Jones – Torrance High School

Johan engages the audience the entire time that he is speaking. He is impactful in a way that youth can directly relate to him even if they grow up in a different environment. He left our schools more uplifted and feeling like their dreams can become a reality! Barbara Weaver – Sierra County Health and Human Services

WOW! So delighted with Johan. Solid person with a great message. Frankly, he was much better than what his video and bio led on. He has a great way of gauging the audience and Engaging the audience. There were moments of great laughter, great applause and some of absolute silence as well over 1,000 young people waited to hear what he had to say. Likewise, we received some of our best reviews to date and we have been doing this event or similar events for 9 years. Johan is a must have. Lisa Wyman – AVID Celebration
