What People Are Saying
“The message that Mitch brings is something that all people need to hear in today's world. It will inspire you to think about how you personally not only can be better, but more importantly how you can help others to be the best they can be as well. If you are a business, school, or any organization I would highly recommend Mitch to come speak to your constituents. His message will impact all in an amazing way!!”
— Allen Bertram, Director of Sacred Hoops Basketball
“Mitch Reed spoke recently at Precision Soil Management’s winter conference. Over one hundred producers listened to Mitch’s talk entitled “We are all dealt a hand in life, how are you going to play your cards?” Mitch talked about the importance of setting priorities, and how our perspectives influence our ability to handle adversities. With his rural South Dakota upbringing, he was able to relate his message to those in attendance. For those looking for a motivational talk, I would strongly encourage listening to Mitch’s message.”
— Jim Millar, Precision Soil Management
“Mitch’s message resonated with our Build Dakota students and Industry partners. It was full of take-aways! One ah-ha moment for me was when Mitch talked about needing to know your ‘why’ – that idea is one of those gold nuggets that can change people’s lives.”
— Mike Cartney, President of Lake Area Technical College
“Mitch Reed’s motivation and inspiration was exactly what we needed! By combining humor and real-life stories, Mr. Reed provides actionable ways to appreciate and acknowledge those around us in little ways, with huge impact. Participant surveys were strongly positive and comments included, ‘This was so renewing, thank you from the bottom of my heart’ and ‘Mitch had an outstanding message’. Mr. Reed was an engaging speaker and left the audience inspired at the conclusion of his presentation.”
