How Pokemon GO Inspired a $50M Online Education Empire


Listen Later

As the Founder of Live Your Message & Creator of the Experience Product Masterclass, Marisa Murgatroyd has quickly become one of the world's leading course creation experts. She teaches people how to design and market a brand new kind of online program called an “Experience Product”…that combines gamification, adult learning theory and the psychology of motivation to create an unforgettable experience that gets anywhere from 10-30x the industry-standard results for your customers… and your business. And the best part? Is that anyone can do it.
She started her career as an artist who was told by her father that I had no marketable skills. She figured out how to build a multi-million dollar business anyway and showed over 15,800 students how to succeed online — many of whom also felt like they had “no marketable skills” or were told they couldn’t do it.
She’s on a mission to reinvent online education around the world so results and engagement become the norm and not the exception – and having personally sold over $50M in online courses and programs, I’d say she’s well on her way!


From a planned child to a $50M entrepreneur, Marissa shares her journey of defying expectations to build a thriving online education business. She opens up about overcoming self-doubt, embracing creativity, and developing strategies that transformed student success. Discover her approach to experience design, the power of intuition, and how she created a revolutionary product. Marissa also shares insights on leadership, hiring, and aligning business with personal strengths. Get inspired by her story of turning creative skills into a multi-million-dollar empire and her vision for education and customer experiences in the AI era.
