“Michael Bentt is a remarkably inspiring individual.  He has the true grit it takes to be an elite athlete, a successful actor, and a much sought after and trusted advisor.  But what makes Bentt truly remarkable is his ability to motivate and communicate the lessons of his success to others.”

“Not only has Michael amazed me with his knowledge of boxing, acting and life, his personality and warm spirit has been the thing that has made people listen and learn from him. It should be stated that I’ve seen so many people hang on every word that is uttered when Michael is speaking on topics that he’s passionate about”.
