  • Very knowledgeable and asks great questions!

    Dr Costes asked excellent questions and we covered exciting developments in AI, the surprising way Tim Ferriss monetized The Four-Hour Workweek, why every leader and expert needs a book to leverage the #3 search engine (Amazon), and more! We covered the 3 steps to effective communication (what, who, wow!), how to turn words into wealth, and how Kickstarter can add buzz and a lucrative additional income stream.
