15-Years Experience -> 55-hr Course

I was hoping to condense my 15-yrs of knowledge and experience down into a nice packaged 40-hr course, but 55-hrs is as condensed as I can get it without cutting out any topics. It is a long course no doubt, which is why you have 6-months access to go through it, and since it is broken down into 1-hr videos you can skip around the material if a certain topic does not interest you or apply to your line of work. The slides and presentation are engaging and entertaining and I guarantee it will be the best course you have ever taken as that was the focus and intent as I put it together over the last 4-years! –Shawn
