Course creation doesn’t have to take weeks of planning, scripting, or overthinking. In this episode, Mel takes you behind the scenes of how she created a full course in just one day, with ease and intention and how it helped grow her email list by 10%. 

You’ll hear how she used tools like ChatGPT, Canva, Zoom, Descript, and of course her favourite business sidekick, Kajabi (yep, that’s an affiliate link!), to pull it all together. 

If you’ve ever thought “I don’t have time to create a course,” this episode will show you what’s truly possible when you stop chasing perfect and start working with what you already know.
