Review from Student Below:

First and above all, great job on this Son! It’s tough to teach intricate things fast and clear, but you did it well. Post Shutdowns there is likely going to be a paradigm shift in how we think about work, money and planning expectations. Gig work, freelance and bootstrapping an online business surely will be important for those that go from Jobless to unemployed or are deep within pool of job seekers. Understanding the big picture is important. Keep it up Son! Your work is really helpful.
