Business Class – Sophia Amoruso
Business Class Information
What is Business Class?
The Premier Entrepreneurship Program for Founders and Founders-to-be
Business Class is so much more than your basic “online course.” Business Class is utopia of educational content, a rich, exclusive community, and a portal to exclusive access to today’s top founders, CEOs, and industry leaders.
