“Ed is like a master of ceremonies. His ability to keep the conversation flowing and engaging leads to powerful conversations. He has a unique ability to develop deep connections with his guests and audiences. My experience with him was very positive he made me feel welcome and kept the discussion moving.”

"I thoroughly enjoy participating in initiatives that Ed Gough Jr. has direct involvement in because he sits at the centre of innovation. From his groundbreaking work as a podcast pioneer (host/producer), to his forward-thinking moderation work in the fatherhood advocacy and live discussion realm, it's always going to be a top flight production."

Ed Gough Jr. can be described as an engaging and energetic presenter. He knows exactly how to get everyone involved. Ed recently hosted a workshop at The Salvation Army under the theme; “The unspoken language of race in the workplace.” His presentation was thoroughly researched and eloquently presented; he challenged the participants to start having difficult conversations that will challenge racism in the workplace. Ed, I trust that you will continue to be that voice of change.

"I was fortunate to meet Ed Gough Jr. through a workshop he conducted at my school, and have been so pleased to be able to invite him to present at the OFSHEEA (Ontario Family Studies and Home Economics Educators Association) conference in 2019 and 2020. Ed is positive, inspiring, and charismatic, and all participants have been enthusiastic about the discussions and learning that he shared on Black Fatherhood and Teaching Students about Race. Ed's warm personality helps to create a safe and courageous space to discuss challenging topics and ask difficult questions. I will certainly be looking for opportunities to work with him again!"

“I was recently a panelist on a roundtable, Dads and Talking to Your Kids About Racism, Ed Gough Jr hosted. Ed was prepared, insightful and charismatic. I appreciated the fact he kept the conversation structured but casual and found a way to interject his own voice while keeping the proceedings moving. Having been in that chair before, I know the role isn’t an easy one, yet he made it look and sound easy.”

“It’s not about the likes, re-tweets, the size of the audience or the followership, but the good Ed sees the bigger picture, that its about truly helping others to strive in the many aspects of their lives. Thank you for your heart, your benevolence, what you do for the smaller community and also the impact on the greater world.”

Dr. Vibe creates a safe environment for his audience to engage in substantive discussions about real-world ills and potential solutions. His level of knowledge about issues is impressive. His caring is real and heartfelt. In my opinion, the world needs more people like Ed. I, for one, am a fan!”
