“I like the format and presenter/presentation - easily digestible segments presented in a personal and appealing way. I like Lee Child's approach and messaging, picking up very helpful nuggets. I also like that it is set up to inform and I'm allowed to consider what I take from it without the pressure to act/complete homework.”

“Lee Child's divergents/tangents, as he puts it, were remarkable in how insightful they were. I would let him talk my ear off before he ever had to weave into a point.
I came across one of his books as a gift when I was a teenager. In-where I could imagine Jack as my dad who was an MP himself, and having the series impact my decision to join the military myself. At the time, I wouldn't have considered myself a reader─ though his writing style showed that I didn't dislike books─ just that most books were, for lack of a better word, shit.
Which in turn, allowed me to appreciate his lesson on knowing what; I don't like about someone's writing.
Say like journalists loving to start their column with the weather or what their damned office looks like─ coupled with the taste of whatever latte they decided to order from some 'artisan barista' to start their day. Tell me again what the skyline looks like. Like I give a shit, I clicked some title-bait about a family of seven being blown up in Yemen. It's not like the writer even uses it as juxtaposition (which I still wouldn't care for), and their lives are not as interesting as someone like Hunter S. Thompson. So. Stop it.
I feel like in some prints of the NY Times, I could discern the layout of their entire office. Sheesh.
The course in general, also provided a fantastic pulse on the industry in a holistic sense.”
