I could not be more pleased with my "Grow Your Idea" experience. Lester was very personable, inspiring, and encouraging. I don't have much of a background in business or entrepreneurship and he did a great job simplifying the steps needed to "grow my idea." I would absolutely recommend taking a class with him.
