As a cybersecurity company, we love the illustrations and basic explanations. Wonderful job!

I just wanted to say Thank You. I been looking for a instructor teaching style like this. As a adult with borderline ADHD I found your style with the visual pictures and artwork to be very engaging. And, then I just plopped some Lord of Rings Instrumentals on in the background and off and going.

Hey Keith,
I'm currently in high school, and I want to pursue cybersecurity in the future. I am watching you're videos and educating myself as early as possible. Thank you for helping me!

I have loved computers all of my life. Cyber security has always been a big interest of mine. I have always been a bit intimidated because I have heard that it is pretty hard.
