Feel free to reach out anytime.

If I can't call and reach someone, that's a fundamental failure (don't give out your phone number if you're too busy to pick up the phone when someone calls).

Feel free to reach out if you would like to set up a call to discuss.

With lots of listening, reading and reaching out to folks here in the BP forums, you'll shorten that learning curve quite a bit.
