        I worked with Joe for 3 years. He is one of the smartest people I’ve ever worked with. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I’m constantly trying to pick his brain to learn more about email marketing and customer retention; however, recently he told me he was too busy building a course! Lucky students.
