Five stars! Wonderful advice and guidance that’s already saved me 100 times the cost of the workshop and many hundreds of hours I would have wasted going in the wrong direction. DK had to pivot the workshop due to outside circumstances and he did so by making our needs the priority. Thank you so much!

It’s hard to hear that your baby is ugly. But its great to get plastic surgery from an experienced professional. Thanks DK.

I was very put off by your blunt no-nonsense feedback. Then I realized it was because you were right and I’d been wrong for a long time. Best advice I’ve gotten since I began developing my startup two years ago. Also five stars!
