One of the (very few) things I liked about my AM is that all of the
higher level instructors had their own successful businesses and did the
teaching gig as a sort of 'giving back' thing. Made it a bitch to
schedule classes since most of them only had a couple of time slots, but
it was nice to know that you were learning from someone who was getting
their information and perspective from real world situations. And the
client anecdotes were great, both as entertainment and to learn from.
