In this episode, I sit down with Catrina Mitchum to unpack why so many online courses are all hype and no help. We get fired up about everything from refund runarounds to overpriced video vaults, and why just spewing content at people doesn't mean they're going to learn anything (or come back for more).

We cover:

• What actually makes a course good.

• Why many course creators unknowingly mimic bad teaching.

• The dark side of "bonus bloat" and fake value stacking.

• Why most "how to build a course" courses are 💩.

• How to design a learning journey with real outcomes.

• Tips for beta-testing without burning yourself ou.t

• And why it's always okay to say no to making a workbook!

Whether you've bought a dud or you're dreaming of building a course that actually changes lives, this episode is for you. Find out more about Catrina here: https://www.cmlearningdesign.com/home
