Your course has enlightened and inspired me to become more focused and disciplined. I especially liked what you said about reading a book 2 hours before going to bed and to set a time each day to learn and work on what you want to achieve. Excellent information and it has changed my thinking and how I spend my day. Thank you so much for this course.
By Leonardo Schmoll Guagliarello on 3/29/2023
It is excellent all the content of those classes... but it has nothing to do with the title of the course! I'm ended up quit desappointed frankly... I took this course because I wanted a CAREER CHANGE, not to know how to speak in the media! Waste of time. Thank you
By Celine Ria Castillon on 1/11/2023
As an ambivert person, this course had help me to understand the things that are needed for me to learn on how to speak confidently in a crowd. To start from scratch, and doing the same thing over and over again to be an expert of a certain field. Never ever forget the recipe which is to "Write and Read", being intentional in doing so.
By Jana Starke on 3/5/2021
Not a good match for me at all. Maybe he says something useful between all those self-absorbed "I am doing so good" stuff. The essence of what I heard was 1. choose a niche, 2. choose a medium, 3. create a tribe.... and then I stopped. Because his explanation about how to build a tribe is to simply pick your niche and medium and the tribe will come. His way of talking makes me want to regurgitate.

I was watching the third video and I'm blown away. I can't wait to leave a review at the end of this course. This course is WOW. I'm totally impressed. The instructor is really good at what he's doing. Well-done sir, you've really said a lot that's key in the third video and I'm gonna recommend this to anyone.
By VIDISHA MAITHANI on 6/21/2020
Oh my God! It was so .... awesome! I am really stunned by the first video where he talks about hobbies and things we are good at. Wow. I never heard that kind of advice before. Honestly, it will save a lot of my time to be more practical. Thank you!

"You can make a living as a well-paid expert if you follow your passion the right way." What sort of claim is this? This is a clumsy course that must have some benefit to the author, who appears to have plagiarised the Japanese concept of Ikigai. It may be free but it wasted 20mins of my time.
By Danisha Thomas on 10/28/2018
This course was great. I came looking for one thing and ended up realizing the information was applicable to something else. I like that TJ answered questions and provided resources and book recommendations. For the value, this course was well worth the price. Thanks!
By Les Gaines on 11/24/2015
Yes, the course is comprehensive and informative. TJ is as easy to listen to as an old friend. I love his approach to speaking and his relaxed, yet very professional style. The biggest take away for me, is that realism he presents; he says what works as well as what DOESN'T work.
By Pete Burdon on 9/17/2014
Before the Internet came along, the best way to become seen as an expert was through earned media. But now things have changed. Social media allows anyone to publish material. But now that everyone is doing that, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. That's why I found this course so valuable. It shows you how to do it with video and how to use that to promote yourself. This course is a must for anyone who wants that genuine expert status.
