“Seeing Kirk Nugent’s performances was one of the most memorable experiences of my college years.”
After two years of lockdown, isolation, and social distancing, college students feel quite anxious and uncertain about their future. Many are feeling depressed and pessimistic regarding their outcomes. According to Business Insider, suicide is the second leading cause of death for Gen Z. Our students today are very much plugged into technology, but they are feeling isolated, disconnected, and insecure when it comes to their place in society. They are unsure of how to build significant human connections. According to collegegroup.com, Gen Z have severe anxiety surrounding finances and their ability to thrive in the economy in which they live, thus leading to further depression.
Being a seasoned performer and master storyteller, Kirk Nugent uses his talent to shift the perspective of his audience and leaves them feeling encouraged and empowered. In addition, he uses the captivating power of the spoken word to connect with the audience emotionally to leave a lasting impression. Through stories and anecdotes, he offers the students the ability to make the necessary transformation in their respective lives, and he gives them the tools that they will need to thrive. Students have enthusiastically returned to witness Kirk’s performance numerous times during their college years.
The From Depression to Destiny College tour is designed to impart the idea that sometimes, when the journey is complex, and we feel as though all is lost, often, we are not being punished, but rather we are being prepared for the greatness that has yet to unfold in our lives. Should you wish to infuse your student body with courage, enthusiasm, and a spirited outlook while giving them the mindset that will enable them to trust their inner-knowing and boldly move towards their destiny, then look no further. Kirk Nugent is a must-have for your next presentation.

a genius. Every college student needs to see his show, it should be mandatory.”
