Funniest Leadership Speech ever!

[@localfan8174]

He’d be a blast to go to a party with. I bet everyone is always excited when he shows up. He’s super entertaining and charming. Love him.

[@GamerRev]

Dustin has been one of the best people I’ve known in my life. He brought love and laughter wherever he went. This world was a better place because he was in it. He gave people help and courage to be the best of themselves. I’ll always be grateful and blessed because you were my friend in this life. Rest in peace Dustin. You are so missed by all of us. 😪💔❤️‍🩹🤗💞

Not interested in his weight. He's a great speaker, a great communicator. And, by the way, for those of you who have issues with his weight - do you think it's easy for him to stand up in front of a crowd, knowing that at least half of them are going to judge him just the way you do? If you spent one day at that weight, would you have the guts to stand up and speak like that? No, you wouldn't. So pipe down and give the man the kudos he's earned.

I know this man. He is 1/3 the size he was in the video. He worked hard to lose the weight. You ask about his leadership qualities. He is currently Director of one of the largest VA hospitals in Southern California. His hospital has over 2,200 full time employees and is the care provider for more than 50,000 Veterans....so much for his leadership qualities, right. He has been in that position for more than 2 years and is looking at a promotion. He is a "kick in the ass" to be around and can bring a room to tears with his adventures from the Deep South. Most importantly, he does not give a shit what others think about him......but I do....I am his friend. Its an honor to call Dustin my friend.
