"Thank you so much for that. I struggle with asking people for help on mental health but you open my eyes to make better cause I have been wanting to change to do better in life and in school. One goal I have is to be a makeup artist and you help me just by touching my heart and I will never smoke weed and I have started to change just by workout and doing better so to you I thank you so much love you."

Written by a college student and quietly slipped into Ethan's bag at the APCA College Entertainment Booking Conference — over a year after she had attended one of his keynotes on her campus. She came to his booth with friends to say hello, but couldn't say all of this in front of them. So she wrote it down.

Handwritten letter from a college student at the APCA conference

"You made me think twice about my actions. I used to get in cars with drunk drivers all the time and didn't care, but this weekend I went to a party and didn't drink at all. I didn't get in the car and I didn't let him either... you have completely made me think twice and I'm so beyond thankful for that!"

— Student email, 2am

"Honestly, you may have turned my life around. If I hadn't heard your story I don't think I would be saying now, 'I'm gonna change, I'm gonna finish high school and graduate.' I was on the brink of dropping out because everything was too much. But now nothing is too much."

— Student

"After your story, my team had practice and we did not stop talking about it."

— College Athlete

"Once we return to class, the conversation started. Honestly in my class we got no work done, we just talked about choices, and life. Thank you for being vulnerable and transparent."

— Teacher

"I just feel like you are showing up today and that presentation wasn't a coincidence. I've been going through all of this and feeling lost inside my own head and all of a sudden you show up with a story similar to mine. I just can't believe that you showed up out of nowhere, your presentation really was impacting."

— Student

"Ethan's message of love, forgiveness, responsibility and second chances is a message that every student should hear."
— Tommy Spaulding, 3× New York Times Bestselling Author
