Welcome to my virtual classroom!

Subscribe to TheDanWard on YouTube to keep up with my latest videos.

But since you’re here already, enjoy this baker’s dozen of short videos where I talk about the FIRE (Fast, Inexpensive, Restrained, Elegant) method from my first book. Each video is a low-res, bite-sized story (FIRE in action!) that concludes with a specific take-away you can immediately apply to your current project. Watch one, watch two, watch ’em all! If you find this helpful, I hope you’ll invite your friends to check them out too.

I hope you enjoyed watching these as much as I enjoyed making them. I’d love to hear what you think – drop me a note on my Contact Page or shoot me an email at the.dan.ward (at) gmail (dot) com. If there’s enough interest, I’ll post a few more. Maybe I’ll even get a better camera.
