        This course is a gem!! Yoann gives tangible, easily applicable tools, but most importantly, he's very generous with sharing his secrets. This course is equivalent to months or years of trial-and-error research and investing. I'm so glad I did it, and I would pay way more for it. It's totally worth it! So grateful for how much I learned 💚
