Former construction inspector helps students pass exams. That is today's story. Welcome to

0:51.6

Sada Soul School. This year, we're bringing you some remixes of

0:54.8

some of our best stories from the early years. That was a very long time ago. It goes back to

0:58.7

1:05.8

2017. So there's a lot of content in the back catalog. So what I wanted to do this year is pull out some of those great stories, polish them up a little bit. We re-record every single one of them.

in those careers, which is often how qualifications and barriers work. And either way, the point is,

1:58.0

it takes some effort to enter a field like this. So it's not surprising that there is a demand for knowledge, tips, and hacks to fast track that process, or at least to study better, study more effectively so that you can pass the exams and then enter what is often a high paying career.

2:13.3

So all that to say, it was a fantastic business idea for this guy.
