RICHARD KOCH 80 20 PRINCIPLE PROFESSIONAL
Normally I'm a big fan of the author presenting their own ideas and much prefer that but on this ocassion Koch woukd have been much better letting a professional get his message across. Also his erratic speaking / phrasing did nothing to help. This gating meant that many of his words were cut off as the gate closed too harshly or early, making it a struggle to hear all the dialogue clearly. As someone who works with sound professionally, the over-enthusiastic use of the noise gate made it very hard to listen to.

My biggest gripe though was the terrible quality of the recording.

A couple of areas of the book seemed to stray off track a little although the author was clearly trying to impart his life wisdom - personally, although some parts were interesting enough they didn't add value to the general view of the book.
