Great conversations going on, I saw quite a few of my students participating.
The event was full of positive energy and great flow. Very approachable personalities, which is hard to convey via this medium.
This is by far the best webcast I've been a part of. Continue to provide more of these. Genuine real people sharing real experience and life. Love it. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this opportunity. I greatly value the knowledge I've gained and connections I've made with others.
