Hey Larry, quick recommendation for your photo at the end - you should probably get a better professional photo that conveys reliability and confidence in your body language, or at the very least, flip the image so it draws readers' eyes toward the text.

Really? I think the photo's OK.

Tie unloosened, good mix of casual + business like.

Can't detect any obvious lack of confidence.

Making his head point towards the text seems like one of those cheesy commercials where a smiling person points at the text next to them.

With regards to the last point, there's actual research to back this up: #3 with the headline "Directional Cues" https://blog.kissmetrics.com/eye-tracking-studies/

Also, looking down and away from another person is not confidence inspiring. I don't think I need to cite research in order to point that out.

Ha ha, its very hard to argue with that. Very impressive.
Thanks for your comment. Working on this now!
Didn't mean to come off as harsh, but it was distracting to me. Good luck on the launch!
