A great presentation." – academyEX

He debunks the narrative, both explaining the pitfalls and championing the opportunities in a simple, yet entertaining way.

The audience was engaged throughout and he had difficulty getting away at the end amid a flurry of questions! He will be back for sure and everyone needs a John when faced with ‘noise’!" – Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)
