He’s calm, kind, and fully present, and he won’t let you coast. He pushed everyone in our cohort to step up, bring our best, and actually put the learning into action.

The way he plans our weekly meetups and group events comes through in the thoughtful, well-run experiences he creates, always with a bit of surprise and delight."
