  • One of the top influencers in my life

    Chris/manafest has that great combination of a real artist and a confident business man. He share advice that really is a secret to most artists so I can beat the competition. And very important, he STANDS for his beliefs and values as a Christian among other things. Inspiring!

    PS. Fanbase University is so much value for the no brainer small investment. See you there.

  • Great, smart, advice! Always helpful

    I have been greatly impressed with the advice that Chris gives for all types of social media. He is very well versed in the software and is willing to help with questions during his Coaching calls with Fanbase University. I would definitely recommend his courses and have no regrets buying them.
