Comments from the audience:

“The webinar presented great information; it was very relevant to my situation. Excellent articulation by Josh.”

“I loved the humour and obviously the content was relevant, informative and interesting!”

“This was a really informative and engaging presentation.  I feel I have some great points to pass on to management on why we need to identify where we sit on the technology ladder and how we can get started. Can’t wait to read the book and spread the word.”

“I liked the tone of the webinar – relaxed and casual, sort of chatty. The speaker was obviously relaxed and confident about the subject matter and that came across to make this a pleasant experience.”
