Does anyone else not see this guy being President one day?

One of the best speakers I've heard in my life and his TED Talk inspired my soul. I pray you keep going Casey no matter the odds.

One of the best speakers I've ever heard.

This is definitely the direction I like to see new MBA grads heading. Giving instead of taking, sharing and caring. This young man is destined to make a real mark on our world.

"It reminded us that we didn't have to wait until we were rich or powerful, or until we actually knew finance, to make a difference. We could act right here right now." Amazing lines.

Casey, you knocked this speech out of the park. Just like you, it will continue to inspire for years and years to come. Congrats, my friend.

I can't believe i didn't pay for this

Spectacular speech by a man I was so fortunate to meet. With support and cheers to you, Casey, and the original MBAxA team, from Asheville and all of us at Highland. Congratulations!

Great speech! There are millions of bright and smart people like him. Current selective educational system ignores majority of them, though. Change the system and see the revolutionary movements in all aspects!

Very well presented. No notes, no teleprompter. ..what's left to say. Very inspiring for young folks today.

We are officially in the Obama generation... talk about raising the bar... no notes or teleprompter for 17 mins... Challenge accepted!

Casey, encouraged, re-energized and re-focused me with this! From South Oak Cliff to speaking at Harvard Business School, to opening for President Obama. You are a role model even to your own peers. Thank you. By the way, for those who think he is fake, this man is the truth.

I discovered this speech in 2016 - its 2023 and it's still so incredible. Incredible speaker, with alot of depth.

Casey, I am so proud of you young man! I remember when I use to tell you -- you will be the first black president of this great nation thinking that this would just motivate you aim high. Now, I'm for sure you will be the next black president. I love you nephew continued success.

Casey, you always inspire me....much love.

I aspire to speak as eloquently and write as brilliantly as this man. The best speaker I've heard in my life.

Great Speech and equally great academic achievements. As a mother of 3 great boys am proud of all you have survived and I pray my boys can survive the temptations of life and achieve such enviable academic attainment. Never forget to leave the world a better place

OMG!!! This is so inspiring. Dear lord, you make the difference. Mezzo and Ndidi, Thank you so much.

one of the greatest speeches I have heard in a LONG time! Wow. Casey Wow.

Beautiful, hopeful remarks, Casey. Thank you!

I remember when he was just a freshman at south oak cliff hs and he said that he was going to get into an ivy league school now his dream has come into reality

How inspiring! This is beautiful Casey!

Amazing!

This makes me wanna go to Harvard business school.

Everyone's a critic. Everyone's a judge. But history reveals that those of us who steer our thoughts, actions and yes, comments on KZfaq - to higher ground and positivity - eventually lead greater lives -- of greater impact. Well done, sir.

Articulate and perfected to the highest magnificent magnitude. explicitly stated and presented.

Let us begin! Amen to that. Brilliant speech Casey.

Thank you for the inspiration to do more for my fellow brothers and sisters.

Parabéns excelente discurso vale apena assistir inspirador. ..

Amazing individual!

great speech , i see greatness in you

SO PROUD!

supperb motivation.....just amazing power booster to do more and more work

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the U.S., thousands of college kids are realizing they have put themselves thousands and thousands of dollars in debt for a degree that is valued in the workplace about as much as a high school diploma.

It was an honor to listen to this live.

this guy is amazing, very motivational speech.

So damn good.

Some of the comments below further demonstrates that armchair quarterbacks are every where. Good speech. More importantly a great plan to grow the entrepreneurial pie. If Casey had listened to some the same armchair quarterbacks below, he wouldn't have started MBAx. Good thing he's a doer not a talker!

Magnificent

Amazing

Well said sir.

Casey, glad you were born again. The world needs you.

Great speech!

Beautyfu pearl black; have success in your life! Thank You for the lessons!

Great and inspiring video...

He's gonna be our president one day!

The victory of purpose over profit could never have been elucidated better!

He is really good with words wow

Does someone have a transcript of this great speech?

I first discovered this guy on tedtalks. he speaks with sincerity about caring but like every American, he will soon be blinded by greed. I enjoy his speeches, reminds me of an early Obama. not because of his obvious skin color but his inspirational voice and smooth cadence. hopefully he will overlook those temptations.

An utter clinic!

Amazing! I may have just seen a future leader of our country.

He's an excellent orator. His mannerisms are quite akin to those of Obama's. Even the way he speaks

Holy smokes. Casey nailed it and I believe speak so many.

More showmanship than essence.

Great speach and very motivating. All the people who have written badly about him in the comments section should maybe take a stab at doing it better.

I'll follow him on twitter and FB.

Allison Winn I can only say to my brother. AMEN!!!

What a remarkable orator and socially conscious chap!

The time is Now. Act.

O my god....... Wow ..... Just wow............. I love the way he speaks. This guy is great. He may become president.

he's good.

The Faulkner adaptation gave me goosebumps

nice one

So contrived.

wow

Seriously, why wasnt anyone clapping?

Wow, our next President!

Obviously a very talented young man. In time and with experience, perhaps a Congressman or Senator... but President is harder to predict because whoever occupies that office is a reflection of the times across the nation, not just a state. Right now, however, he's talking about a business career. And he will find his way as we all do. I wish him well. BTW, he has a great TED talk! We will hear more about this man in the future.

For some there is work to do! For many of you who have commented here, there is much learning you still have yet to do for you are petty and lost and confused

Casey Gerald, the God's are smiling down on you. Thank you for your testimony and thank you for your strength!

#OakCliffTX

this is oratory at its simple best, well spoken Casey, bueno

Oh now 8 dislikes...hmmm...0.0085015940488842% = Negligible. And I didn't even get my MBA at Harvard.

A

good to see blacks as harwad graduates. but thing is that if there is some inventor in them or not apart from art and sports fields ?????? or only white people can be inventors. I mean in science field. please comments. ( no discrimination to black. people).

and everyone right after retire to lavish graduation parties and go collect their signing bonus from wall street banks....empty gesture hiding in a great performance is still empty

5 haters!

12:53 Lebanese food is indeed yummy!

sounds like a black version of Frank Underwood

Another round of HBS graduates set for to "fix" America.

Barely anyone claps it must not be that good.

baby obama

Sorry for being the skeptic here but, despite this being an OK speech, what's all the hype about?!

Great story, but there is no genuine emotion in him... it feels so rehearsed, so calculated. I see him trying to evoke Obama, trying to be a little Oprah, a bit of Maya Angelou... at the end, i feel conned. Be authentic.

Thanks Casey...very motivational it's great to see that their are such well nuncapative young Black Males. Congrats.....hope to meet you soon.
