“Dubspot has been a life changing place for myself, not just from the amazing environment and inspirational instructors I’m able to hang with on a daily basis, but even more so from the students. I have never been involved with students with such motivation and drive to learn, along with the high amount of talent involved with many of them. Being a mentor to such great students is the most inspiring thing for me, I learn from them as much as they learn from myself. It definitely feels more like a family than a school.” ~ Josh Bess
