Young, Gifted & Powerful
Set students on a path to graduate
How do we get and keep students on-course to graduate? How do we help them reduce or eliminate distractions and make healthier choices? In this thought-provoking message, Marius inspires students with hope, clear direction, and perspective on how to gain positive momentum and pick the right education/career path and relationships. He ignites them with the charge, “Do GOOD. Make the DIFFERENCE. MATTER!” then provides a roadmap to do it. Using this understanding, Marius, as a college student, went from academic probation to the Dean’s List, started a campus organization, was featured in USA Today and Seventeen, became a National Residence Hall Honorary, and started his speaking career—all with an undiagnosed learning disability. Shield students now against depression, confusion, suicide ideation, and poor academic performance. Marius can be the spark to ignite their passion and potential.

The Launcher’s Call™
Ethical startup, vision, & purpose for founders
Ideas that help heal our world have this in common—they serve, supply, and solve. I didn’t always embody it in my attempts to build a successful enterprise, and it cost me: financially, relationally, and emotionally.
I got better. With 20+ years of experience designing systems to enhance business platforms, clarify ideas, build brand alignment, and shape culture, I’m suited to help you avoid mistakes and understand mindsets that limit capacity, profitability, and trust.
If my foundation is cracked, then everything is unstable. Reducing and erasing hindering practices allows for better bottom lines. Becoming a transcendent leader makes a difference: moving and deciding based on the collective wants and needs of your ideal customer. I’ll unravel some of the confusion founders can experience so they’re positioned to build uniquely and more powerfully.
Integrity can suddenly change everything.

"Marius is an engaging and passionate speaker. His empowering workshops allow the individuals and groups he shares with to walk away feeling like they have gained new insight into their strengths and abilities. The feedback we received from my team and youth after his workshop was great. Marius also has a powerful testimony and this comes through in his passion to serve his community. I recommend his services to any community organization, team, or youth program."
Griselda Snelson
Youth Support Program Manager
"Our company invited Marius to speak to us at the recommendation of one of our employees who heard him speak at a rotary function. She indicated that the speaker clearly had the attention of the audience, with several people commenting afterwards that they thought their company or organization would benefit from hearing Marius and his encouraging message. I was very impressed with the depth of understanding Marius exhibited of knowing what makes people tick, how we think, and as a result, how we often respond. I think the understanding of that dynamic puts him in a class beyond many speakers."
