What People are Saying about the Challenge Gerard was really helpful and provided encouragement over the 8 week period. The exercises at the end of each video module helped me to take action every week. Gerard was really helpful and provided encouragement over the 8 week period. Bogdan Dragoi, Romania When I started the 8 week challenge last March, I knew very little about where to start and how to go about using my iPhone to view IP cameras, remotely changing temperature levels and playing music in ever room of our home.
