Just being "down to earth" and approachable. No condescending tones towards those of us who came with only an "old school" understanding of investing. Absolutely one of the most enjoyable weekends I've had - and I've had more than my fair share.

From a skeptic to a ruler! I read the book, and many other Warren Buffet publications and they all made sense but seemed “too easy to be true”. This class really did an outstanding job bringing it all together in a real and practical way that made me a ruler! Doing the homework now so I can start trading with my portfolio as a ruler! Phil and the rest of the coaches are awesome and there is no “time share presentation catch”, the team is truly only focusing on education and sharing the knowledge with us!

The workshop was meticulously organized. The presenters and coaches demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and were highly approachable. The material was pertinent, and the delivery pace ensured sustained engagement. Notably, Phil Town’s presentation was exceptional, characterized by his profound market insights and his ability to elucidate the strategies employed by small investors to surpass larger entities.

I have been a value investor for more than 20 years. The tools and specific methods Phil Town's organization has pulled together will definitely sharpen my investing, and, I expect, increase my portfolio returns while decreasing my time commitment to my portfolio.
