“James has a great knack for quickly understanding your thoughts and ideas with the ability to also distill them and get to the crux. He doesn't waste time. Just in one conversation, James was able to give me constructive feedback and incredible perspective. I like his direct approach to feedback with no nonsense, just to the point. It was incredibly valuable. I would highly recommend him for startup advice. ”
