Here are some responses to his Thomas Jefferson performances and
to his work as a mentor of leaders across the world.
"Believe me, you even are better than
advertised, such a rare occurrence in our day
and age of hype and glory. The quickened
rhythm and joyous cadence that you brought
to our gathering truly warmed my heart. I felt
a sudden flood of brilliant light in your
presence, the wonder and the splendor of a
dream. Journeys of Discovery often happen
when we least expect them. Thank you."

"Congratulations on what you do best, oh talented one.
Thanks on behalf of all who relished your performance and
for showering glory on the institutions, yours and ours."
"Your reviews were overwhelmingly positive, being rated 5
out of 5 points for both the topic of your presentation and
for your performance in all but one review. Additionally, as
Education Director at the Museum, I must say that the
publicity for your performance drew an almost entirely
different audience than the Museum is accustomed
to seeing.
On the whole, based both on my personal opinion and those
of the spectators, your performance was wonderful,
engaging, and as one response stated, " fascinatingly
offbeat." The Museum wishes you the best with your
performances and hopes to work with you again sometime
in the future."
"Thank you for introducing me to the brains and heart of
Gus Jaccaci. Indeed, his mind should be listed as a national
treasure. We are working together with several corporate
clients, It is exciting and fun."

"Of all the business consultants and mentors I have worked
with over the years, Gus is a cut above all the rest."

all Vermonters should hear and heed. It is time for his

"In politics, a byte of sound is now worth more than a
whole thought. In this national climate, Vermont itself has
become anendangered species. Gus Jaccaci is a visionary in
the tradition of Jefferson who can lead. He can galvanize
Vermonters into thinking again about the values that matter
most to us, and along the way rejuvenate our political
lives."
spoke about his views of our democracy and where he
thinks it is today. He took every question and answered it
with impressive erudition and deep knowledge of Jefferson
and his life and principles ...It was a marvelous
re-creation and brought tears to my eyes to consider how
far we had strayed from our founding principles and
directions."
