"Value Prop - Create a product people will actually buy" is absolutely PACKED with wisdom and helpful tools to have you deeply reflecting on what you are offering. Spoiler alert - the largest part is ASK your target market what they want - yup, I had to hear that and learn it."

Deep bows and look forward to your content here!"
