Pot of Gold!

There's so much knowledge here. I love Don's frank, clear and humble appoach to sharing!

Gary Bennett VO ,

A Wealth of Knowledge

Don is not only a great guy, very genuine and personable, but he's such a font of knowledge and experience and is always willing to share that! He's helped me out of multiple jams, offered sage advice and tips, and helped me to configure my audio setup on several occasions. These podcasts are nice and bite-sized for easy enjoyment and learning. Highly recommended!

vast knowledge, best teacher!

Don has vast knowledge and makes learning easy, but I especially love how he encourages our own process of discovery - to explore and try things out to see what they do. He grounds us in context sensitive behavior, opening up access to all the dimensions and alternate ways to get things done. I'm glad I live in a world with Don Baarns!
