“His talk was engaging and he used excellent videos to reinforce his topic --- holding the attention of an audience in a remote conference setting is very challenging, but Dr. James pulled it off! He has so much life experience to bring to the discussion and he uses humor and stories to bring the conversation to life! It was great to work with him and we hope to be able to partner with him again in the future.”
― Dana Dillard, Principal, Housing Finance Strategies
