Customer Reviews
Simple and to the point, great info
Macpreneur is a recent discovery for me. I enjoy the simplicity of Damien’s explanation, and even if audio-only, it’s easy to be at your Mac while you listen, and follow along with his tip! I also like that the episode length is usually sub-15 minutes, it makes for a nice info-packed short listen.
Merci, Damien!
Grateful
What a great show! I’ve not had such clarity on using my Mac in business.
