*I had a lot of audio issues in this video. I was recording in a new space that was rather empty so there was an echo. It created a sort of 'muffling' effect at times and I didn’t notice it until editing. I tried to fix it the best I could. My apologies for the lower quality of the audio .

Good ol’ Joel... with his milliondollar smile and witty accent. What’s not to like? In this video, I give a fair assessment of his teachings. I start out the video by addressing my intent in examining Joel’s teachings, that I’m not out to ‘get’ him, and if I’m ‘judging’ him fairly. I then address three main issues I have with his teachings. I do have a lot of recommendations of other videos that I’ve already done. My intent is not to ‘plug’ them, but mainly because they’re related to this topic, and I don’t want to unnecessarily repeat all the information in this video since the info is already available in others. I think they’ll be useful and helpful for your growth on this topic.
