WP:BLP of an organizational founder and motivational speaker, not
properly referenced as clearing our notability standards for either endeavour. This is heavily
reference bombed to sources that are not support for notability at all, such as YouTube clips and his "staff" profiles on the self-published websites of organizations he's directly affiliated with and glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that are primarily about other people and Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself or other things in the first person -- and the very few sources that actually represent
reliable or notability-supporting media coverage about him are virtually all covering him in purely local interest contexts like organizing a local fundraising event and winning a local youth achievement award in his own hometown, which aren't notability-clinching accomplishments in and of themselves. As always, every founder of a charitable organization is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article -- the notability test is not the things the article says, but the depth and breadth and volume of media coverage about him that can be shown to support the things the article says, and the amount of genuine media coverage shown here is not sufficient to get him over
WP:GNG.

Delete, per Bearcat. Once you get past the refbombing, there's very little of substance to look at at all. ♠

Delete Bearcat sets out a compelling case. Thanks for that, as it is all too easy to give these refbombed promo pieces a free pass - making a case for deletion can be hard work. I too am not seeing anything in the article or elsewhere that would enable the subject to pass
WP:GNG. As the subject is fairly young, this may turn out to be an example of
WP:TOOSOON, but that is not for us to speculate upon here.
