Your videos are the most relevant and to the point. I have learned more in the past two days about the apps I use to run my business than I have in the last 5 years. You're a master and a great teacher. I am lucky to have found your channel!

Kevin you have a real talent to teach and explain things, many thanks for all these tips, they're so useful and valuable, especially for people like me, that are just starting to host or co-host Zoom meetings for organizations. Thanks again for such an amazing tutorial.

Kevin, I have been following your posts for the past week and I cannot believe how helpful they've been. What I like about technology is the fact that as tech savvy as I am, I easily pick up new ideas, ways and/or enhance some of the latent knowledge. Thank you and God's Speed.

Holy cow, I wish I'd had this video tutorial at the beginning of the pandemic. It would have made hosting my virtual community club meetings a lot more effective and much less stressful. I'm tech challenged but this video was very easy for me to understand. Thank you!
