Ringelstetter has been asked many times why he’s chosen to involve himself in the school system with the presentations he’s been doing while on tour and of course, at home. A lot of his motivation comes from his own experiences growing up in the public school system where he was often made to believe that he was unintelligent because he didn’t fit into the box that they were presenting him with.
Looking back at his life, Ringelstetter realized that middle school was probably the most detrimental time to receive the message that he’s been sharing throughout his tour, which is that anyone can do anything. He wants kids of all ages to know that you can follow your passions and still be successful because it isn’t as unheard of as they may think.
Ringelstetter firmly believes that the next generation will be the ones to finally turn the world on its nose, and he wants to do his part to make sure that creatives of all types feel that they have a place and a purpose, both now and in the future to come.
