John Chavez

“I love the self-paced aspect of the learning materials. I work full time and the format of this course allows me to fit in study time through my day as needed. Jesse is also a fantastic teacher and he is able to deliver the content very clearly and in a format that is easy to digest. Slack Community has been a huge hit!”
