"This was an excellent webinar - I am an "older" CPA, and what caught my eye was the "niche in the brewing industry" in the topic line. My son and a lot of his friends he went to college with (mostly engineering majors) are into home brewing, early in their careers, but with dreams of involvement in the brewing industry in the future. The course provided a wealth of information, both for young accountants, but as well, for young non-accountant entrepreneurs. I plan to have my son watch the webinar, should it be archived. For myself, I have done some reading in the past about "ditching the time sheet" - I tell people that in my next life, "I will have no time sheet" - the information on value pricing provided by Chris Farmand was great, and I plan to follow up on some of the recommended readings. I thoroughly enjoyed the youthful tone of the presentation - good humor, even some of the wisecracks, not a shred of boredom did I have to fight off, which was a delightful departure from the run of the mill webinar. I plan definitely to take more of the webinars, especially those presented by Jeff Phillips of Accountingfly."DAVID, ME
"Chris's story brought a valuable real-world example of how and why a career that isn't embedded in the Big 4 can be rewarding and exciting. Wish I had known this years ago!"Lynn, TX
