PLEASE NOTE:

Parts 1 & 2 are offered a la carte as a customized educational experience. However, I highly recommend The Complete Course as an all inclusive, big picture solution. Part 1 & Part 2 are complementary and intended to function together, which is extremely important when absorbing all of this material. That’s the best way to fully experience the intention of the course and get out of your own way!
