It's not easy to talk about the business boring stuff, and not have people's eyes glaze over. And this is where Anna's brilliance makes a world of difference.
I really love this series.

This is an amazing course. And it's even better that Anna is presenting it :)

Good stuff, and nicely timed for myself, since I'm currently choosing a business bank account.

The epitemy of this video was the fact that Phoenix Wright was in the thumbnail

[grmwatch]

Actually very helpful and informative video. Thanks!

[harrison]

5:58 I guess this might partially explain why when a corporation does something illegal the people responsible don't personally get punished.

[betterleader]

Great video with great value, thanks so much!

[Julesdoesstuff]

I thought this episode was really helpful! It was a lot more concrete than some of the others so far, which I liked. :)

GOOD LORD so grateful for this series. I am an art school grad and I'm starting a business. This makes it so very understandable for my non-administrative brain. THANK YOU

12-13 minute mark:
Form an LLC, watch your business fail. Form a C-Corp, and the business you started will succeed... but you will be forced out by the investors.

Great message, CrashCourse!
