Grateful for a one’s in a lifetime educational experience on value investing and option trading with Phil Town, Brandon van der Kolk. Life changing. Thankful for the guidance by Rule 1 couches and team. Feeling humble and hope to pay it forward.

The knowledge and experience shared by the entire coaching team. The instructors were excellent. I was exceptionally impressed with the amount of time Phil and Melissa spent with us especially during the course but also hosting us at their home. The testimonials of the coaches make me a believer that if I follow the formula, I will be exceptionally successful.

The seminar was packed with information and was full of coaches. I never had a moment that I couldn’t get a question answered. The information, food, and facilities were world class as if we had paid thousands of dollars to attend. I left with the knowledge and ability to trade profitably.
Brian
The training is approachable for anyone with little to no experience in investing. It is clear that the instructors genuinely care about your success.

This course moves quickly. Read Rule 1 and come prepared. It will change your life.

all in all a very good experience. and I can appreciate charging $20 for the slide/notebook, afterall you don't charge for the 3 day workshop. My only complaint is that all of the slides presented were not included in the workbook. I honored your request not to take photos, so that made it very difficult to follow the speaker intently while also taking notes. If all slides were in the notebook I think I would have to say 5 stars (and people tell me I am a very tough grader). Otherwise, well done. Looking forward to learning more and I am guessing that might be part of the design of how the information is shared/conveyed.

Meeting Phil and Melissa, as well as Brandon, Austin, Travis, and all they amazing coaches who were all former students, and seeing how passionate they are about Rule 1 made me super stoked to learn and become a Ruler so I can share this with my friends and family, and coach others to transform their lives and future for generations. To see and hear the testimony from so many former students who are now portfolio managers with Rule 1 made me grateful to be invited! Thank you! I only wish I had come to the workshop and started this journey years ago. The best is yet to come. God Bless!
