Loving the second book! Properly useful stuff! Thanks a lot for the effort! Also tonight’s private training was absolute excellence! I’m sure N will agree! We have put our heads together over the past 40 or so minutes on a call and properly logged everything we have learned this evening and put together a solid training plan for outside classes.
Thanks as always for the impeccable training! Underwolfe
