Major disappointment

I am so disappointed. I never leave reviews. But the constant emails inspired me to join a presentation on a stock market disruption.
I listen for over an hour without any option to fast-forward or rewind. Right when he was about to announce the information I was listening for my phone messed up and I lost the screen.
There was no way to get back in and because I started at 9 AM. I missed the 10 AM deadline to get back into the over one hour presentation.
Please reach out to me.

Grateful to discover Altucher

Hi James, I stumbled upon you last week in the Paradigm Press group. From the start, I found you to be fascinating. I appreciate the way you communicate, your humility, heart, drive and experience. And I love that you share it with all of us! Just listened to Podcast with Hal Elrod. I am going to give my son a copy of The Miracle Morning! And revisit my own practice, as it has helped me greatly. Much love!!
