Jon Pritikin immediately captivates students each time he rolls up a frying pan, breaks a baseball bat, or bends a steel bar. But his real strength lies in his ability to bring a room to bursting laughter as well as real tears. He has a gift for speaking to issues of self-worth and the value of each individual.
