You're smart and eloquent and you have a gift of making complex topics appear easy. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them.

[@andynadela1122]

I wonder, do you follow a script or do you just talk spontaneously? I never noticed you scrambling for words or trying to organize your thoughts while talking, which I really admire.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you! Yes around 80% of the videos are scripted 😁

Hi everyone , If anyone sees this comment. Please help me. After phone screening. I gave an interview last week (1 hour) and I received a call from the company saying they wanted to meet for a coffee. I am meeting 2 people tomorrow regional manager and the one who interviewed me.
