Michael E. Parker is a role model for youth and adults because of his commitment to the Bay Area. I had hoped Oprah would have recognized his talent before her retirement. Akio Toyoda did realize the jewel inside this man. Keep his material flowing. I am a huge fan of both lifeskills411 and You Are a CEO and the empowering messages.

Mr. Parker has really lived this program. As a troubled kid from Richmond, Ca. he had to overcome many obsticals. I have seen so many youth benefit from this program already. Achieveing the success he has in his lifetime is very commendable, but what is exellent bout this situation is he is sharing the knowlege he has with aquired in every aspect of his businesses. To me, that is truly a successful and generous person.
