Summary

Sara Blakely: APPEARS - she is mentioned as an instructor, but her presence is incidental to the platform itself. Removing her would not change the core message about MasterClass. Christopher Voss: APPEARS - he is mentioned as an instructor, but his presence is incidental to the platform itself. Removing him would not change the core message about MasterClass.
