I think they are only unknown to people who don't know anything else about him besides the motivator speaker part. Honestly i was in the same vote until only about a month ago. He is involved in over 100 privately held businesses that generate billions in annual revenue, he does a senior leadership program and is passionate about getting people in leadership to care about the people and to creating a better world. He also seams to be political neutral. I think with his values, leadership skills and his mass network of VIP contacts, i think he could get a lot done.
