Insightful Bootcamp
The bootcamp was really insightful though a bit overwhelming (at least for me) because my mindset is still stuck in the more traditional way of earning (and learning!). And yes, the items and concepts discussed are not really found in any traditional school curriculum. I'm glad that I attended this bootcamp. I learned a lot. I appreciate that Ben took the time to discuss the nuances, the experiences he had, and the like because it gives the topics covered a better perspective. I may need some time to let it all sink in. Again, getting out of my current mindset is not an easy thing to do because I have been so used to doing certain things only and doing something completely outside my comfort zone takes a push. Thank you, Ben and the AEB Team! Some areas of improvement that would make the bootcamp a better experience: 1. Have an outline of the topics that what will be covered at the start of each day to give the participants an idea of what will be discussed. This will help set expectations and the flow of the class. 2. Have ready examples. While it was good that we used examples like the "ice globe for facial" or the "vacuum seal machine food saver" that was discovered during the discussions, it would have been nice to have something more prepared with actual data for Module 3 and then go through the motions of exploring things through Helium 10's Cerebro and Magnet with that data. I think it would have been more worthwhile and would put things into better context. 3. One small thing is to put the slide number or page number on the slides as they are presented in Zoom so that folks who have manuals can follow accordingly. I noticed that folks in chat were asking where in the manual were the slides that were being discussed by Ben.
