  1. henry you talk too much and don’t say enough. i’m watching this now, but it took you over FOUR MINUTES to get into the subject material! you need to just speak about the subject and not talk about your trip to new york or anything like that, it just wastes time!

  3. The above comments were made by bullies (aka trolls) and I do hope you’re not giving them any credence. Your lecture style is very engaging and people learn better from that type of speaking.
