Bruce was our guest speaker on the Caribbean Run For Fun Cruise in February of 2015 and 2016. I can’t speak highly enough of the messages Bruce brought to our group. His engagement, down to earth personality, and outlook on life after so many hardships was uplifting to the entire contingent of runners. I would recommend Bruce Van Horn to speak at any function to parlay his message of “Life is a Marathon so lets train for it!”

I attended Bruce’s “Transform Your Life” weekend retreat and it did exactly that–it transformed my life! I learned more about myself than I ever expected. Bruce helped me realize how it was only my thoughts/beliefs that were holding me back from living my fullest life, not other people or circumstances. I left with a new mindset and practical tools to start living MY life. I highly recommend everyone attend one of Bruce’s events!
