You and Mack did a fantastic job closing out the conference! Thank you so much for speaking with us today. I am so happy AAMSS purchased copies of your book for everyone. I can’t wait to read it!

Melinda S.
Conference Attendee

My first words are, GET SIGNED UP! This training is not, and I stress, not your everyday leadership seminar! I have never been a part of anything like it. After 30 years in technology and two years in Concrete Construction, I have attended dozens and sent hundreds to the so-called “Leadership-Training.” I can tell you that while all of the courses, classes, webinars, and seminars, had good intentions, nothing can touch what Mack and Ria Story provide. I just wish I had it 20 years ago…I could go on-and-on…100% of the team that attended said that they were “blown-away, they did not see that conviction and passion coming.” Many thanks, Mack and Ria!

Sam McLamb
VP & COO

I truly enjoyed the encouraging words you had to share. I admire you so much and you are such a dynamic and motivational speaker. You are a true inspiration.

Laura, conference attendee

Your story is so inspiring, and I find it so amazing to see what you have done with your life! You are truly an inspiration to me, and for other young women like me who have also overcome struggles…You are living proof that no matter where you come from, or what has happened in your past, it does NOT define you, and it does not define your future.

Emma, PR/Marketing

You influenced me big time in following my dreams! So I just wanted to say thank you so much! Success can come from tragedy and I am grateful for your journey teaching me that!

Nathan, High School Student

Ria, I watched your Tedx Talk and it brought tears to my eyes. I grew up in a home with domestic violence and have struggled to find my voice and share my story as an adult. You inspire me! Thank you for your courage. Thank you for sharing your story.

“This by far has been the best use of my time during this entire seminar.”

“Ria and Mack are inspiring people. They have added tremendous value by teaching principles that are tried and true. They are authentic and teach others to help themselves and thus create a better world for all of us. Thank you for touching my heart and changing my life!”

Leadership and Leading Change Workshop Attendee

Ria, It’s seldom I find myself at a complete loss of words to express myself to some degree, this is one of those times. Going forward, I will think of you, and your story. As heartbreaking as it is to read, the inspiration it brings is overwhelming. All I can say is ‘thank you’ for sharing your life, being yourself, and it is a wonderful privilege to make your acquaintance. May God continue to bless your efforts. Your triumph is a great joy, and a gift to all that would hear or read it.

Louis O.
