Funniest Leadership Speech ever!

No idea how I landed here but this guy is great

[@Orefamilylawncare]

Two minutes in and already his stage presence, humility, ability to keep the audience engaged, and personality are just perfect.

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. 😪💔❤️‍🩹🤗💞

[@trentmason009]

Oh no! He passed? I was enthralled at this speech. I was hoping to learn more about him and his book. I'm sorry for your loss. Sounds like he was a great guy.

[@Gwahlur]

That was actually very talented, I was pleasantly surprised. Well paced, good timing, good length, very good with the audience and funny. Though it appears I'm 13 years late to the party, I'll still say: well done!

Yeah it would be cool to see him do stuff every now and then. Doesn't matter where or what, even just simple daily things or vlogging. Would just be nice to see him regularly.

[@casbah1982]

Amazing that 9 million people have viewed this. It's a whacky world in which we live. This man has posted one video in his life. God Bless him. But I'm glad I grew up in the 1970s.

[@harmonyfiend1502]

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.

[@KhwajaImranMohammed]

+Jonathan Howard: Well said sir, I agree with you. Its very tough to talk like that in a entertaining way. I will use this example in my next Toastmaster session.

[@selahollison2758]

i would be able to talk like i do everyday

[@ocrodger]

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.

[@mfisher1952]

Amen! He has guts, he's not self-conscious and he's funny!
