The guide includes 89 videos! If you were to watch all videos from start to finish, it would take you a little over 8 hours to complete.
Do I have to watch all of the videos in order?
No, you don’t have to watch the videos in order. If you’d like to watch the entire guide in order from start to finish, that’s great! But if you have a specific question or topic that you need help with, you can jump straight to whichever video best suits your needs.
Do the videos have captions?
The videos themselves do not have closed captions, but below each video you’ll see a summary of the key points and a link to the presenter’s outline. We also included links to additional resources wherever applicable.
