40 | Who Actually Owns What You Create?


Listen Later

You might think that because you created your training… you own it.

 

But legally, that’s not always true.

 

In this episode, Cory shares a real client story where a studio owner lost control of their own training materials—simply because there was no signed agreement.

 

Why This Matters

If you collaborate with someone and don’t have a contract in place, the law may automatically give them ownership rights—even in your own business.

 

Key Takeaways

✔️ If two people create something together, they both own it (by default)
✔️ No contract = shared ownership and shared control
✔️ This can lead to disputes, revenue splits, and loss of control
✔️ A work-for-hire or licensing agreement protects your ownership

 

Cory’s Legal Pro Tip

📄 “If someone helps you create it and there’s no contract—legally, they own part of it too.”
