Inc. Magazine called him a “High-Energy,Motivator” and named him to their “30 Under 30 list” of top entrepreneurs joining people like Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.

After college, Arel built a million dollar event production and Education Company while in his 20s and now as a professional speaker he has spoken to over 400,000 people in 48 states and 5 countries.

So true, that’s exactly how I graduated 6th grade. I aced all my tests but didn’t do the homework, until summer vacation. Teacher said to pass I had to do this book college algebra over the summer. I put in the effort. After that math all the way through high school was a breeze.
A family member comes to mind, causing concern as they’ve been part of the family upbringing. Despite being talented, they seem to lack effort, not fully utilizing their abilities. It appears that they struggle with motivation and direction, hindering the realization of their potential. They need to shift from their fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
Your tedtalk not only saved my life but made me financially free. I lived on the streets listening to this. Fr this saved my life and changed it and made my success. I owe you everything. I was an addict ready to take my life but you truly saved me life and I’m in such a great spot I can’t believe it. Thank you SO much
