He is also the host of a television series, Amazing Adventures of a Nobody, which is broadcast worldwide by National Geographic. Recently, he completed filming his new series, The Kindness Diaries, where he traveled the globe and distributed life-changing gifts to unsuspecting good samaritans.

IMPACT stands for Increase and Motivate Positive Awareness in Children and Teachers and is a one-day event developed in 2008 from a former JLTW program called “Through the Looking Glass.” Each year the event hosts a compelling speaker with the goal to motivate and inspire educators, administrators and parents.
