Good morning Greg, I went to your Facebook page and saw your TedTalk link. I love TedTalks, but I didn't wanna listen to something long, but I felt led to click on it anyway. I saw that it wasn't long and I could speed it up at 1.3, 1.5 and then 1.75 speed. As I sped it up, I slowly slowed it back down. During your talk, I laughed, learned and cried. I left feeling encouraged to add and multiply the amount of laughter in my life! I left feeling inspired to use the gifts God has given me to make a difference in everyone's life that I encounter. I left feeling motivated to push on, remember when folks have spoken in to my life and to use it as fuel to stoke this fire within me when I am down! Thank you Mr. Greg Kettner for what you do. Thank you for pouring into my life, my families life and those lives I encounter! Blessings to you and your family! Thank you!

Greg, I just watched the video. So powerful. Your jokes were on point, you allowed yourself to be vulnerable, your message was clear and most importantly I felt connected and I'm sure those that watch this will feel connected to you too. Super proud of you. I'm sure this will open many doors for you so you can continue to spread your mission of work happy and making the world a better place one laugh at a time.
