4.6 out of 5 stars from 9 ratings
  • Slow Down!

    Speak way too fast, forign accent, and way, way too many acronyms and jargon. Slow down, let the listener hear and understand content. I have a degree in economics, an MBA and years in the industry and I had a very hard time understanding the content. Also poor recording acoustics. I was looking for an airline finance from the debt side.
