In fact Jason not only served as a credible and knowledgeable source of interesting information, his engaging style added the kind of energy to the program that keeps our viewers tuned in and turned on. Guests like Jason make us show hosts look great!”

“As our conference keynote, Jason delivered a fascinating trip through the past, present and future of green architecture and building, tailored perfectly to our lay audience and full of visuals, which enhanced his presentation. He created a sense of both urgency and hope that set the stage for the remaining two days of our conference–and got a well-deserved standing ovation.”

“I interviewed Jason McLennan about his living building concept at a Bioneers conference in mid-October 2008 for A World of Possibilities, an internationally syndicated radio program of which I am host and executive producer. I found him engaging, articulate, and incisive. He has an open, inquiring mind and a naturally innovative approach to design challenges. He’s able to communicate complex and sometimes arcane concepts with clarity and understated passion for the subject, drawing on a wealth of expertise that never gets in the way of communicating with lay audiences. As someone who interviews many leading experts in a range of fields, I don’t often find these traits in the same individual. The burgeoning green building field would benefit from giving individuals with such commitment and communications skills the opportunity to be heard by larger publics.”
—Mark Sommer, Host – A World of Possibilities
“Jason McLennan stands alone is his ability to articulate the sustainable future that we all long for. In his talks he uses practical examples, historical perspective and innovative visions to inspire and motivate. I have seen him speak on several occasions and always want to hear him again. He has an uncanny ability to adapt his message for different audiences. I have seen him talk to church groups with the same ease as a group of engineers. Jason was a speaker at our company retreat. His talk was inspiring and very well received. The talk gave the engineers on our team a wider vision of why sustainability matters and how it applies to them personally. The comments after the retreat were universally positive. I whole heartedly recommend Jason as a speaker.”
—Peter Rumsey, Chief of Engineering – Integral Group
