Paid $400 for a 'career accelerator' webinar that was just a guy reading slides

It was called the 'Executive Edge Summit' and promised insider tips. The host just read bullet points from a PowerPoint for two hours. I could have gotten the same info from a free blog. Anyone know a real course that's actually worth the cash?

Executive Edge Summit" sounds like the time I bought a "premium" guide that was just a Wikipedia printout. Total scam.

Yeah, that "premium guide" thing is rough. I looked into the summit though, and it's actually a real event with speakers and everything. Still might be overpriced, but it's not just printed out web pages.

The Summit is a real live event with actual speakers? Well, color me surprised. I guess I owe Miles a little apology then, I really did think it was just another overhyped digital product. But even so, a thousand dollars for a ticket to sit in a room and listen to people talk still feels like a lot of money. You have to wonder if they are just recycling the same old business advice you can get for free on YouTube. Maybe if they had hands-on workshops or actual mentorship, then the price would make more sense. I still would not bet my paycheck on it, but at least it is not a total scam like that printed Wikipedia guide.
