In today’s episode of The Course Creator Show, I’m chatting about all things money!

As someone who has always loved making my own money and saving it up, I didn't really start thinking about investing until I was in my twenties and bought my first house. It was then that I realized the true value of owning property and began to explore other avenues of investment.

But let's be real, the world of finance can be overwhelming and confusing, especially for those who weren't taught about it in school. That's why I've made it my mission to educate myself and others on the best ways to create financial freedom and flexibility.

In this episode, we'll be discussing some of the strategies I've used to manage my own money, as well as some tips on how to invest in stocks and real estate. Whether you're just starting out as an entrepreneur or you're looking to take your financial knowledge to the next level, this episode is for you.

So grab a cup of coffee (or your preferred beverage of choice) and tune in to The Course Creator Show. Let's get ready to make some money moves!

Thinking about using AI to create your content? Already using ChatGPT to help you with social media captions? 

I get it - it’s a useful tool for sure.

But before you go any further, tune in to this episode to hear how to think about your content strategy so you can stand out. 

Because with AI tools will come more creators, more content, and more noise.

You’ll need to know how to differentiate yourself in order to grow an audience, captivate them, and make the sale.

I saw an ad recently that claimed you could “Create a course in 5 minutes using AI”.

Sure, you could theoretically do that. 

• But would it sell? 
• Would it be a transformation program for your students? 
• Would it be a leverageable asset in your business you could sustainably scale to 6-figures or more a year? 

Absolutely NOT. 

Tune in to this episode to hear my take on this bogus clickbait claim, what DOES make a course successful, and how I think we CAN leverage AI in an effective way. 

This is a short and juicy episode. Click ‘listen’ now!

In this episode, I have my long-time business friend Erin Trafford as a featured Guest Expert. Erin is a Podcast Network CEO who specializes in podcast strategy, production, and promotion. Fun fact? She produced over 200 podcasts in 2022. 

Erin’s background in radio and broadcasting paved the way to what she does today, as the Executive Producer and Founder of the Story Studio Network.

In this episode, Erin and I talk about: 

• Why podcasting can be an invaluable asset to your personal brand business
• The podcasting VS video debate and which side we land on (and why) 
• Two questions you need to ask yourself when conceptualizing your potential show 
• How podcasting can fit within the landscape of social media and email marketing 
• Growing your podcast audience and reach 

… and other incredible gems that Erin shared (you won’t want to miss her tip on how to use YouTube to expand the reach of your show! My mind was BLOWN). 

Erin’s new program, Ready to Record, is an incredible opportunity for anyone who is interested in launching a podcast or wants to make their current show more successful.
