What happens when your career path takes an unexpected detour, and you decide to build the solution yourself?

In this episode of Authority Architects, we sit down with Mike Linares, founder of Simple Nursing, to unpack the journey from bedside nurse to leading one of the most trusted nursing education platforms in the world.

Mike shares:

• How he turned a single whiteboard video into a full-blown movement
• What it took to build 2,000+ videos before seeing real traction
• Why clarity, repetition, and humor became his instructional superpowers

• How Simple Nursing scaled to $17M/year and was later acquired for $115M

• The lessons he learned about product-first thinking, audience trust, and brand simplicity

He also opens up about founder burnout, team leadership, and the mindset shift from content creator to CEO.

If you’re building in education, health, or content, this is a masterclass in creating value at scale.
