What people think

The value I got was unprecedented. I'm an experienced marketer so I debated whether it would be worth my time to take the course, but I know from experience that I always learn something new: sometimes it's a golden nugget I can put to good use and gain a lot of traction from. The course delivered a few of those so it was well worth my time. The icing on the cake came in the form of the pitch decks, which were a welcome surprise.
