Having started using Notion not so long ago, this man to me looks like a wizard. Capabilities of Notion seem even greater now

After hours of searching, this has been the clearest tutorial of Notion I've found. Thank you so much!

[nickmcintosh]

These Notion videos (and your templates) are absolutely fantastic man - you've saved me headaches and heartbreak trying to get my head around Notion - can't wait for the course for creators! Thanks heaps and keep up the amazing work

[annwalker]

You are an excellent teacher. Very grateful for what I have learned in the course. Before I found your videos, I has spent days watching videos and trying to figure out Notion and I was about to pull my hair out. Your quality training saved me (and my hair). Thanks.

Hey Thomas. I've been following your content since 2014 (exactly when you started off pushing hard on College Info Geek)
Loved every piece of content (Youtube, podcasts, blogs, etc.) you have shared and learned a lot from you over the years :)
You definitely have a fan in me, amongst thousands of others I am sure!

""Sometime I wanna be able to do the project right away even if I don't fully understand what is going on"" Exactly what I did with the masterclass and it was worth it! It was very complicated to learn, explanation was too freaking fast lol.. took me more than 4 hours to finish the project but I was able to absorb and retain way more than I expected.
