As the above graphic suggests, there is quite a history to my MP Drill Format. As a matter of fact, my way of sharing ideas probably differs greatly from others, in that I want those who trust in me to totally understand the behind-the-scenes stuff, or how I ultimately arrived at a given problem’s solution.…
