Excellent!

Your show has been so encouraging and helpful for our family! We’re using your writing courses for our 3 kids and are very satisfied with their progress! Thank you and please keep it up!

Great for learning just about anything!

I have learned so much listening to this podcast. Being a student of Mr Pudewa in SSS courses, I have found that I have learned most about not only writing, but debating, communicating, teaching, and even psychology from IEW. Thank you so much for how you have inspired and helped me over the years without even knowing me.
