"Raymond is not only a championship bullfighter but also a masterful teacher of love, respect, and the transformative power of vulnerability. His work creates genuine breakthroughs in the people he serves."

"Raymond's courage is built on preparation, humility, and a commitment to others. Again and again, he steps into danger to protect fallen riders: reading the bull, staying close enough to make a difference, and trusting his training when there's no margin for error. He shows that character isn't measured by avoiding failure, but by getting back up and showing up for those who depend on you. That same spirit belongs in our classrooms, where students can learn to fail forward, lean into the opportunities that scare them most, and discover the value of serving others before themselves."

"I expected a talk about what bullfighting is. I didn't expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of connection to your passion and how to calm your nerves. I'm a ski racer, and at the top of a Super-G I often get so nervous I don't perform. Raymond taught us that performing isn't about pushing through fear and hoping it works out; you ground yourself, set your mind to the mission, and do it. You grab the bull by the horns. That is how you reach your dreams."

"One key lesson I learned from Raymond's stories of professional bullfighting is that resilience in the face of failure is essential for growth and success; every setback is an opportunity to learn and get back up stronger."
