Powell is the real deal. Behind his lighthearted public self is an adventurer who has met life head-on and has lived to tell about it. The stories Charles tells are true, and he presents them with an astonishing eloquence. Listen to Charles. You'll be glad you did.

Charles Powell is my friend. You need him as your friend also. Why? Charles is not perfect and he knows it. He cares enough to confess his battles and offer hope for the rest of us imperfect people. When I see Charles, I see a heart that cares; I see a heart that has been broken. His words invite you to see that heart while you learn about yours.

Whether as a writer or a speaker Charles Powell is a gifted communicator. His approach to his life experiences is candid, authentic and at time humorous making for a kind of transparency which is much needed and seldom found today. His journey has prepared him well to communicate a refreshing message of hope and encouragement.
