This was my favorite of the course so far. Naming is a challenge and the process presented here has already been helpful. Also, the bias lesson was very well done and also very disappointing.

I enjoyed the content of the entire course, but in particular the "week 2" on discussions around distribution/allocation of equities and "week 4" on branding and naming. BIG 5 stars!
