Episode transcript: Leading Forward (Bhoomi Pathak and Danny Iny)

Danny Iny is the founder and CEO of Mirasee. His latest book is titled Online Courses: A Business Parable About How to Create Freedom by Teaching Your Gift, and he is the host of the popular podcast, Course Lab. 

Hosts Linda Claire Puig and Ari Iny talk with Danny about the massive impact that guaranteeing results can have on sales, on the quality of your programs, and on the strength of your team. 

During the episode, you’ll discover:

• How to deliver things that nobody else in your industry can, with something you put in your guarantees
• Why Danny doesn’t believe in the standard “30-day, money-back guarantee”—and the powerful alternatives he recommends
• What to do if you can’t find a guarantee you’re comfortable offering (this simple approach also delivers tons of value to your buyers)
• The direct causal relationship fostered by guarantees between program quality, team quality and income generation
• And much more.

“Sales are fundamentally about trust, and being willing to put my money where my mouth is gives people confidence.”    —Danny Iny

Danny Iny is the founder and CEO of Mirasee and best-selling author of nine published books, including Teach Your Gift,  Leveraged Learning and Teach and Grow Rich, among others. He is the host of the Course Lab podcast and is also the creator of the acclaimed Hybrid Course University training program, which provides all the instruction, coaching, and support that entrepreneurs need to build and launch a profitable online course.

Danny has maintained a passionate commitment to learning and transparency, freely sharing lessons learned from great successes, major challenges, and even his personal life to support the online entrepreneurial community as a teacher, speaker, trainer and advisor to many of the top leaders in our industry.

Dr. Ann Weinacker has been a practicing physician with specialties in Pulmonology and Critical Care for more than 30 years.

“I've done leadership courses, I've had coaching help. I think that one of the things that I have learned is to ask questions, and then stop talking and listen to the answers.”  – Dr. Ann Weinacker

Dr. Ann Weinacker currently serves as the Senior Vice Chair of Medicine for Clinical Operations; Associate Chief Medical Officer, for Patient Care Services; and the Chief Physician Executive of Stanford's Risk Management Department (The Risk Authority) at Stanford University. She is also a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine and the Director of the Intensive Care Units.

Ann began her career in medicine as a nurse and nurse anesthetist before completing her M.D. at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Mobile, in 1986. In 1994, she advanced her training at the University of California where she completed a pulmonary and critical care fellowship and a cardiovascular postdoctoral research fellowship.

Her strong advocacy for patient-centric care led to her being one of four leaders designated to actively design, guide, and implement strategies to improve the patient experience at Stanford.

Ann has extensive experience in clinical and administrative leadership, serving as a full-time faculty member at the Stanford University School of Medicine since 1999.

She is the recipient of numerous national honors, and editorial posts. Locally, she received the SHC Board of Hospital Director’s coveted Denise O’Leary Award for Clinical Excellence in 2008.
