Folks the best value at Manager Tools is to buy an annual license to our material.

For $200 a year you get access to show notes for every single show produced over a hundred a year

plus our entire archive of nearly a thousand shows. You wouldn't want to print it out all

in one place. It'd be a management Wikipedia and it'd be probably

5,000 pages. You get all that, plus access to things I think I think. And even more powerfully,

the interview creation tool, which may be our strongest and

most least known digital tool that we have and more digital tools to come in the future available only to licensees.

Ask another licensee.

They'll tell you it is the best value they have.

And today we're talking about how.
