The lessons and approach are incredibly versatile and applicable in a variety of professional contexts, and the more you commit the more you gain. It is a great opportunity to get uncomfortable and push your own boundaries. I found it invigorating, if occasionally terrifying.

You will never learn this stuff in school. Great practical learning, an awesome way to test your idea/business in the real world.

Within the first 5 mins it was clear that the facilitators were generally speaking from experience and with a large degree of authority on each topic. Their ability to offer suggestions and lead you to your own learning without giving the textbook solution was perfect.
