Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/course-lab-lessons-from-successful-online-course-creators Want to create a hugely successful online course, one that has a major impact on the lives of your students? If you want to learn how to create online courses from the best, you turn to Mirasee; and if you want to host that course, you can’t go wrong using the powerful platform, Ruzuku. Ruzuku co-founder Abe Crystal and Mirasee founder and CEO Danny Iny know what it takes to stand out and be successful in the online courses industry. And now they’re teaming up to share this intel with you in their new Course Lab podcast. In every episode, Course Lab showcases an entrepreneur/course creator who is nailing it with their online course -- and not because they’re teaching people how to make more money. In fact, most of these creators occupy unusual or overlooked niches, like music, writing for video games, overcoming inherent bias, and finding your life purpose. Turns out, the key to their success all comes down to their online course design. In this podcast, Danny and Abe reveal the most important design tactics that are making all the difference for these online course creators -- and how you can implement them in your own online course. So if you want to create a successful online course that changes the lives of your students, this is your big chance to learn how it’s done from the best in the industry! ©Mirasee a3399c84-1bfd-5006-b13f-4b49f02a8d80 no en Mon, 21 Jul 2025 04:00:18 -0400 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 23:03:14 -0500 https://mirasee.com/podcast/course-lab/ https://img.transistor.fm/3Mhzp1_S0o4yzdnIT-4u2OLkvTg7aSMGdlkWXeBxpq4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNTgz/MWU5Y2EwNjI5YTQy/YmE2NGJjYjFmMmRh/Mjc2Ny5wbmc.jpg Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators https://mirasee.com/podcast/course-lab/ episodic Mirasee FM Want to create a hugely successful online course, one that has a major impact on the lives of your students?

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Quinn discuss:

  • Quinn’s background and journey into online course creation
  • Graydin and its mission to support students and educators
  • Different formats of learning offered by Graydin: live in-person, live online, and self-paced courses
  • The process of transitioning from in-person to online learning during the pandemic

  • Scholarship and pricing strategies for scaling and accessibility
  • Discussion on creating engaging and effective online learning experiences
  • The importance of a learner-centered and outcome-based perspective in course design
  • Differences and alignment between curriculum building and coaching
“One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned about helping people learn well online is you want them to feel connected to the work, you want them to be saying yes and wanting to do it.” — Quinn Simpson


Guest Bio:

Quinn Simpson is one of the co-founders of Graydin, an organization working to revolutionize the ways we support, empower, and connect with our next generations so they can thrive at school and at home. Together with more than 300 schools and universities worldwide, Graydin has been at the forefront of the coaching movement in education since 2011.

Quinn has 18 years of experience in coaching, teacher-training, and learning content creation for teachers, students, and parents. She is a certified Co-active Coach and NLP Coach Practitioner, and at the age of 24, she co-founded a small charity called Akosia that operated for 10 years using coaching as a facilitation technique in filmmaking projects for underprivileged children and women. With a deep passion to break down the silos within education, Quinn has recently founded Gedi Village Foundation. As the acting chair, she aims to position Toronto as a hub for world-class education by establishing a cutting-edge K-8 school, a professional development center for educators and parents, as well as a philanthropic arm that promotes research and innovation in social-emotional learning (SEL). Living in the west end of Toronto with her family, she enjoys walking through High Park and showing her sons Theo and Bowie how coaching skills are for everyone.

Donna Durbin is an artist and a Clear English Pronunciation Coach.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Donna discuss:

  • Donna’s journey from being an artist to developing online courses
  • The importance of entrepreneurship and self-promotion in establishing a successful business
  • The challenges and strategies in transitioning from in-person to online teaching
  • Her focus on pronunciation and accent reduction for non-native English speakers

“It’s not selling, it’s celebrating. You’ve got to celebrate what you do and share it with people or they don’t know.”  — Donna Durbin

Guest Bio:

Donna Durbin started her entrepreneurial lifestyle at age 25 when she bought her first house in Houston, Texas. This turned into a nine-year creative project of hands-on design, construction, and remodeling. With a “can-do” spirit, Donna learned to refinish floors, lay tile, construct lattice fencing, install A/C ductwork, install a roof, plus float and tape sheetrock. Through that, she built the home of her dreams, complete with a second-story art studio space, swimming pool, and deck — while being married and raising two sons.

She launched her first hybrid online course, “The ABCs of an American Accent,” on Ruzuku in 2019. It combines self-study video lessons, feedback, and live coaching in a highly personalized program to transform voices and transform lives. Donna continues to create online pronunciation courses and facilitate live coaching groups and private coaching on Ruzuku.

  • How her programs blend ancient wisdom and neuroscience for women's empowerment

Guest Bio:

Patricia Peters is a Leadership Alchemist for visionary women, former world-class athlete, and founder of Women Unlimited International. She is also a board-certified holistic psychotherapy practitioner in her home country and a Modern Shaman.

Her ancestors are Huguenots, Scandinavians, and even some Vikings in her maternal lineage. Hence her passion for women's inner liberation, empowerment, and self-actualization.

Since 1989, Patricia has guided more than 2,000 high-achieving visionary women to freedom and fulfillment beyond the material without sacrificing their success. Her method is rooted in ancient wisdom, is science backed, and helps women to rise above limitations and conditionings that reside in the individual and collective non-consciousness, having been imposed on women over millennia. She empowers women to follow their higher calling while enjoying meaningful abundance on all levels of being.

When she’s not working you can most likely find her in the gym, in nature, studying, or enjoying life with loved ones.

Guest Bio:

Penny van den Berg is a military veteran having served in various roles over her 25 years in uniform. Her final ten years of service left an indelible mark and were the impetus to continue her educational pursuit in coaching. She had the opportunity and privilege to be a Conflict Management Coach for both military members and Department of National Defence employees, and it was this experience that solidified her focus on coaching after military retirement. She experienced the profound positive impact coaching provided with feedback such as "transformative" and "the skills I’ve learned have even helped my marriage".

From reality TV casting to coaching in her program, “Star of your Own Story,” Bethany Yamawaki shares her career journey. She discusses her star framework, blending self-discovery with confidence-building tools, and her pivot to group coaching — all while offering key insights for course creators.

Bethany Yamawaki is a Certified Relationship Coach and a Senior Casting Producer.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Bethany discuss:

  • Bethany’s background and career journey transitioning from casting producer to relationship coach and creating online courses
  • Overview of her program, “Star of Your Own Story,” focused on self-discovery tools, techniques, confidence-building, and action steps mixed with resonance
  • Understanding the challenges people face when enrolling and completing transformational programs
  • Combining her work in casting with coaching techniques to help clients shine and connect
  • Working with different groups like coaches, creatives, and reality show aspirants
  • Importance of practicing on-camera confidence through daily recordings and affirmations
  • Considerations for marketing a program with less concrete outcomes
  • Need for a hybrid online and community-based approach for effective support and feedback
  • Blending Bethany's reality TV experience with broader life and business coaching lessons


“I think a lot of people want to do this, but they don’t know how. So I don’t just say, ‘Fix your mindset.’ You need to break that down for people and give them specific tools, specific techniques.” — Bethany Yamawaki

Guest Bio:

Bethany Yamawaki combines TV casting with relationship coaching, and brings more than two decades of experience and insight into transforming lives with confidence and clarity. With a Bachelor's degree in Drama and Theatre Arts from Northwestern University, as well as certifications from the Life Coach Institute of Orange County and the prestigious Relationship Coaching Institute, Bethany has successfully merged her passion for unscripted casting with a profound commitment to helping others.

As a seasoned Casting Producer, Bethany has been integral to the success of major reality shows, including The Bachelor, Big Brother Canada, The Amazing Race, and Love Island. Her ability to identify and nurture talent has seen her interview more than 10,000 individuals, providing a unique lens on human relationships and the patterns that shape them.

In her "Star of Your Own Story" program, Bethany casts women into roles featuring on & off camera confidence and empowerment, guiding them to reclaim their narratives and magnetize opportunities. Her mission extends beyond confidence coaching; she facilitates life-altering transformations for those navigating transitions, from breakup recovery to rebuilding relationships with self and others.

Through one-on-one coaching and specialized group programs, Bethany offers a supportive space for individuals to use their authentic voice, find their power, and achieve life and business goals. Her teachings blend action with strategy, empowering clients to move forward creatively and courageously.

Bethany's personal journey — rooted in a biracial upbringing and enriched by a multicultural family life — fuels her advocacy for diversity and inclusion. Her coaching focuses on empowering underrepresented groups and those in interracial/intercultural relationships, drawing from her extensive experience in both personal and professional realms. She enjoys family life with her husband of 20+ years and their teenage daughter, a sophomore at USC. In her free time, she indulges in continued learning, live music & theatre, travel, and pilates, which all contribute to her grounded approach to life and coaching.

Episode transcript: Star Power: Building Confidence On and Off Camera (Bethany Yamawaki) coming soon.

]]> Mon, 20 Jan 2025 04:00:00 -0500 Mirasee FM Mirasee FM 1297 Special "business revenue leak checklist" offer, free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.


From reality TV casting to coaching in her program, “Star of your Own Story,” Bethany Yamawaki shares her career journey. She discusses her star framework, blending self-discovery with confidence-building tools, and her pivot to group coaching — all while offering key insights for course creators.

Bethany Yamawaki is a Certified Relationship Coach and a Senior Casting Producer.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Bethany discuss:

  • Bethany’s background and career journey transitioning from casting producer to relationship coach and creating online courses
  • Overview of her program, “Star of Your Own Story,” focused on self-discovery tools, techniques, confidence-building, and action steps mixed with resonance
  • Understanding the challenges people face when enrolling and completing transformational programs
  • Combining her work in casting with coaching techniques to help clients shine and connect
  • Working with different groups like coaches, creatives, and reality show aspirants
  • Importance of practicing on-camera confidence through daily recordings and affirmations
  • Considerations for marketing a program with less concrete outcomes
  • Need for a hybrid online and community-based approach for effective support and feedback
  • Blending Bethany's reality TV experience with broader life and business coaching lessons


“I think a lot of people want to do this, but they don’t know how. So I don’t just say, ‘Fix your mindset.’ You need to break that down for people and give them specific tools, specific techniques.” — Bethany Yamawaki

Guest Bio:

Bethany Yamawaki combines TV casting with relationship coaching, and brings more than two decades of experience and insight into transforming lives with confidence and clarity. With a Bachelor's degree in Drama and Theatre Arts from Northwestern University, as well as certifications from the Life Coach Institute of Orange County and the prestigious Relationship Coaching Institute, Bethany has successfully merged her passion for unscripted casting with a profound commitment to helping others.

As a seasoned Casting Producer, Bethany has been integral to the success of major reality shows, including The Bachelor, Big Brother Canada, The Amazing Race, and Love Island. Her ability to identify and nurture talent has seen her interview more than 10,000 individuals, providing a unique lens on human relationships and the patterns that shape them.

In her "Star of Your Own Story" program, Bethany casts women into roles featuring on & off camera confidence and empowerment, guiding them to reclaim their narratives and magnetize opportunities. Her mission extends beyond confidence coaching; she facilitates life-altering transformations for those navigating transitions, from breakup recovery to rebuilding relationships with self and others.

Through one-on-one coaching and specialized group programs, Bethany offers a supportive space for individuals to use their authentic voice, find their power, and achieve life and business goals. Her teachings blend action with strategy, empowering clients to move forward creatively and courageously.

Bethany's personal journey — rooted in a biracial upbringing and enriched by a multicultural family life — fuels her advocacy for diversity and inclusion. Her coaching focuses on empowering underrepresented groups and those in interracial/intercultural relationships, drawing from her extensive experience in both personal and professional realms. She enjoys family life with her husband of 20+ years and their teenage daughter, a sophomore at USC. In her free time, she indulges in continued learning, live music & theatre, travel, and pilates, which all contribute to her grounded approach to life and coaching.

His insights include the importance of community, having accountability, and avoiding the trap of perfection.

Steve Kamb founded NerdFitness.com in 2009 to help average folks, nerds, and misfits level up their lives.

In this episode, Danny, Abe, and Steve discuss:

  • How Nerd Fitness started and evolved to become hugely popular
  • The integration of the site’s content and courses
  • Shifting from online courses to building a larger community

“I'm just a huge dork who happens to love helping people not make all the mistakes I did.” — Steve Kamb

Steve Kamb is the nerd who founded NerdFitness.com in 2009 to help average folks, nerds, and misfits level up their lives. He started the site to help people NOT make the same mistakes he made when he started his own journey.

The site is best known for Nerd Fitness Coaching, its online program that has coached more than 10,000 one-on-one clients over the past five years. The site also boasts the most supportive and welcoming online community in the known universe.

Transitioning from software engineering to dreamwork, Michael Sheridan had an unexpected business journey. Despite financial challenges, his strategic pivots and focus on business coaching drove significant growth. His story highlights the importance of passion, resilience, and continuous learning.

Michael Sheridan is “Ireland’s favorite dream expert,” author of two books, and a radio host.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Michael discuss:

  • His transition from software engineering to dreamwork and initial income expectations
  • Facing challenges in business, leading to strategic changes
  • Michael’s realization of business coaching’s importance and its impact on growth and marketing strategies
  • His mindset shift regarding financial success and making a significant impact
  • Advice for course creators to seek guidance and embrace the learning curve
  • Personal development through launching a membership program and refining skills
  • Development of new event strategies to engage audiences
  • Insights into customer interactions and scaling challenges including team elevation and hiring practices
  • The impact of automation and streamlining on business processes 
  • The financial implications, growth trajectory, and the necessity of patience in business scaling
“If you really feel what you're doing is so important, make the biggest splash you can.” – Michael Sheridan

Guest Bio:

Michael Sheridan is Ireland’s favorite dream expert. He was a regular on the #1 TV talk show in Ireland — Ireland AM — as well as a regular on Ireland’s most popular radio shows, including “The Inbox” on 98FM, sharing the stage with both metaphysical and movie stars such as Paddy McMahon and Frank Vincent. He’s appeared on the BBC and countless other premier media outlets, interpreting dreams for his wide audience.

He’s the author of two books as well as a radio host with his own show on KKNW. His passion is to see people become all they came here to be and to live their life to its fullest potential. He does this by interpreting dreams. From reading your dreams, he can give clear direction on your life purpose, reveal the gifts that you brought with you to help achieve that purpose, and uncover the blocks you need to overcome to step into alignment.

With a focus on helping clients heal childhood trauma, Michael launched his first course in 1992. In 2012, he added online courses to his offerings and by 2015, after much experimentation, he switched entirely to an online hybrid model using the Ruzuku LMS. The hybrid model greatly increased course reach, course efficiency, and course effectiveness — and laid the framework for many later courses.

Guest Bio:

A world-class artist and leading pioneer of historical harps, Cheryl Ann Fulton has enjoyed a successful performing, recording, teaching, and scholarly research career since 1984. Recognized as a “genuine virtuosa of her instrument,” she performs on and teaches Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque (triple- and single-action pedal), contemporary "Celtic" lever, and pedal harps. She earned her BS (pedal harp), MM, and DM (performance/historical harp/musicology) degrees from the Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music. She received a Fulbright award for research and performance in Lisbon, Portugal, and became principal harpist for the Orchestre Gulbenkian.

A versatile recording artist, Cheryl Ann can be heard on over forty recordings on many major labels, as well as on film scores and video game soundtracks in a broad range of musical styles from medieval, baroque, and classical to contemporary, Celtic, World, and orchestral music. In 2017 she produced the film The Harps in the Trees illustrating the connection between harps, music, and nature. Her 2023 recording with the Silicon Valley girl’s choir iSing, love & light, was put up for a Grammy nomination.

Dr. Fulton is currently on the faculty of UC Berkeley, has a private studio in the San Francisco Bay Area and on Zoom, and offers online courses through her “Harp Secrets” programs. Her music can be heard on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, YouTube, and Magnatune. Besides music, she is a serious student of the Narrative Enneagram and Astrology. When she is not working, she is playing with and training her two Belgian Tervuren dogs or out riding her Arabian horse on the trails in the East Bay hills.

What’s the balance between short-term progress and long-term sustainable change for students? Ali Shapiro discusses this and shares her journey from overcoming health issues to pioneering her program. She stresses adaptive change, mindset shifts, and creating community for lifelong transformation.

Ali Shapiro is an integrated health coach, holistic nutritionist, and top-ranked podcast host.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Ali discuss:

  • Balancing between short-term progress and long-term sustainable change in marketing courses
  • The importance of understanding time for meaningful change to build better client relationships
  • Root-cause thinking in sustainable change courses, especially in healthy eating and weight loss
  • Differentiation by going deeper and providing more value in courses
  • The significance of community and listening to previous Course Lab episodes for insights
  • Planning for obstacles and objections in course creation
  • How to identify triggers and using a “second wind” exercise for real transformation
  • The impact of past educational experiences on behavior and planning for those influences
  • Adaptive versus technical change and recognizing adaptive challenges for effective courses
  • Designing courses focusing on the why behind behavior change and flexible identity definitions


“You’re teaching them how to tune into themselves and become their own leader, and what the actual behavior needs to be in a situation, rather than focusing on: ‘Okay, here’s what you’re going to do every morning.’” — Ali Shapiro

Email marketing is a narrative tool, says Monica Badiu, not just a sales tactic. She emphasizes creating engaging, truthful content that speaks directly to people’s needs—helping them see the potential in themselves and the solutions you offer.

Monica emphasizes the importance of maintaining a consistent email frequency, tailored to your audience’s needs and interests, to keep your brand top-of-mind. She advocates for value-driven content that resonates with the current needs of your subscribers, steering clear of fluff and focusing on genuine solutions. Whether you’re struggling with your marketing strategy or looking to refine your approach, Monica’s tips on non-aggressive promotions and ethical marketing are bound to provide clarity and direction.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Monica discuss: 

  • Email marketing frequency and content relevancy for building brand authority and trust 
  • The necessity of at least one engaging email per week to maintain brand recognition 
  • Consistent, valuable email communication for client engagement and trust 
  • Context and relevancy in creating non-fluff email content that provides real solutions 
  • The detrimental effects of infrequent and purely promotional emails on brand awareness and trust 
  • Email marketing as a core responsibility for course creators to foster robust relationships and provide substantial value 
  • Proactive use of social media to enhance visibility, promote lead magnets, and grow email lists 
  • The right channels for reaching ideal clients and the significance of valuable content creation 
  • Clear calls to action in emails and occasional course promotions 
  • Segmenting for better deliverability and open rates, tracking engagement metrics, and periodically cleaning your email list of inactive subscribers 
  • Authenticity in email marketing, using it more as a communication channel than just a sales tool 


“If I send an email this week to my audience, how is that email relevant to the context they’re in right now? What’s happening in their lives around them with the people they follow on social media, with the economy, with their health?” — Monica Badiu

Michael Bungay Stanier is a highly acclaimed coach, course creator, entrepreneur, author, and thought leader whose books and talks have been enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Michael discuss:

  • Michael’s programs and how they fit into his business
  • How infrastructure is built in to self-facilitated groups
  • What a robust onboarding process looks like
  • How Agile project management informed Michael’s course structures
  • Michael’s philosophy of “the least you can teach”
  • The concept of “clearing the cache” in a course
  • Setting and disrupting expectations to keep students going
  • Focus your content by knowing what problem you’re solving


“My working philosophy… is I assume that people's brains are full after six minutes. They’ve got about six minutes of you pouring content into them before their brains are now full.” – Michael Bungay Stanier




Michael Bungay Stanier is at the forefront of shaping how organizations around the world make being coach-like an essential leadership competency. His book The Coaching Habit “unweirds coaching.” It is the best-selling coaching book of this century, with over a million copies sold and more than ten thousand five-star reviews on Amazon. In 2019, he was named the #1 thought leader in coaching. Michael was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, has been named a Global Coaching Guru since 2014, and was a Rhodes Scholar. His most recent book, How to Work with (Almost) Anyone, shows how to build the Best Possible Relationship with the key people at work.

Michael founded Box of Crayons, a learning and development company that had helped hundreds of organizations transform from advice-driven to curiosity-led. (Learn more at BoxOfCrayons.com.) Michael is a compelling speaker and facilitator, combining practicality, humour, and an unprecedented degree of engagement with the audience. He’s spoken on stages and screens around the world in front of crowds ranging from ten to ten thousand. His TEDx talk has been watched by a million and a half people. (Learn more at MBS.works.)

En route to today—and these are essential parts of his origin story—Michael knocked himself unconscious as a laborer by hitting himself in the head with a shovel, mastered stagecraft at law school by appearing in a skit called Synchronized Nude Male Modelling, and his first paid piece of writing was a Harlequin Romance-esque story involving a misdelivered letter… called “The Male Delivery.”

“The real problem is that our culture has insisted that adults always be supervising kids.”  — Lenore Skenazy



After her newspaper column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” created a media firestorm, Lenore Skenazy got the nickname “America’s Worst Mom.” (Google it!) She went on to write Free-Range Kids, the book-turned-movement that basically says OUR KIDS ARE SMARTER AND SAFER THAN OUR CULTURE GIVES THEM CREDIT FOR!

Lenore has lectured everywhere from DreamWorks to Microsoft to Harvard Med School, Yale Child Study Center — and the Bulgarian Happiness Festival! (For real.) On TV, you may have seen her on The Today Show, The Daily Show, or her own reality show, World’s Worst Mom. Now Lenore is co-founder and president of Let Grow, the nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience. She lives in New York City with her husband and beloved computer. Her children are gainfully employed. (Phew!) And for the record, she used to write for Mad Magazine. Yep. MAD. But now she's so serious that her piece “Independence as Therapy” was in The New York Times.



“Teacher Tom” Hobson is an early childhood educator, international speaker, education consultant, teacher of teachers, parent educator, and author. He is best known, however, for his namesake blog, Teacher Tom's Blog, where he has posted daily for over a decade, chronicling the life and times of his little preschool in the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest corner of the USA.

For nearly two decades, Teacher Tom was the sole employee of the Woodland Park Cooperative School, a parent-owned and operated school knit together by Teacher Tom's democratic, progressive play-based pedagogy. Teacher Tom came into teaching through the backdoor, so to speak, having enrolled his own child in a cooperative preschool, where he began working daily in his daughter's classroom as an assistant teacher under the tutelage of veteran educators — although he'll be the first to tell you that most of what he learned came from the children themselves. When it was time for his daughter to move on, he “stayed behind.”

Today, Teacher Tom shares his play-based pedagogy through online e-courses for early childhood educators; produces online early childhood conferences; consults with organizations about his "Family Schools" program; and inspires early-years audiences around the world (Greece, UK, Iceland, Australia, China, Vietnam, New Zealand, Canada, and across the US) both virtually and in-person with his engaging views on early childhood education, play, and pedagogy.

He was pressured by his blog readers into authoring his first book, aptly named Teacher Tom’s First Book, and is thrilled about the 2023 release of Teacher Tom’s Second Book.

Jan Keck runs public events and online experiences that build trust, empower people to share vulnerable stories, and turn strangers into friends.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Jan discuss:

  • Creating a feeling of community within a group of attendees or students
  • Supporting frontline facilitators and trainers
  • A best practice for the very first minutes of an event, meeting, or gathering
  • The importance of breakout groups or rooms
  • Planning your first class, workshop, or course
  • Using “ice melters” instead of “ice breakers”
  • Navigating control of the live learning experience
  • A bonus tip for making the best of live-class recordings


“If I'm the only one talking, I’m taking something away from what the group could learn.” – Jan Keck



Jan Keck runs public events and online experiences that build trust, empower people to share vulnerable stories, and turn strangers into friends. Jan’s mission is to help people feel less alone — by creating experiences, workshops, and programs, he is fueling the movement for deeper human connection. His “Connection Cards” have been used on every continent around the globe and helped turn more than 70,000 shallow conversations into deep connections.

In the past few years, he has run more than 30 workshops and trainings with more than 700 trainers, facilitators, educators, and team leaders. They learn the skills to create engaging, purposeful, inclusive, and connecting experiences on Zoom. Recently, he relocated from Canada to Germany to be closer to family and is continuing to build a community of trainers, facilitators, and creators that create “Magical Human Moments” online. His work has been featured on TEDx, CBC News, Breakfast TV, Cityline, and HuffPost.

Jan Keck runs public events and online experiences that build trust, empower people to share vulnerable stories, and turn strangers into friends.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Jan discuss:

  • Creating a feeling of community within a group of attendees or students
  • Supporting frontline facilitators and trainers
  • A best practice for the very first minutes of an event, meeting, or gathering
  • The importance of breakout groups or rooms
  • Planning your first class, workshop, or course
  • Using “ice melters” instead of “ice breakers”
  • Navigating control of the live learning experience
  • A bonus tip for making the best of live-class recordings


“If I'm the only one talking, I’m taking something away from what the group could learn.” – Jan Keck



Jan Keck runs public events and online experiences that build trust, empower people to share vulnerable stories, and turn strangers into friends. Jan’s mission is to help people feel less alone — by creating experiences, workshops, and programs, he is fueling the movement for deeper human connection. His “Connection Cards” have been used on every continent around the globe and helped turn more than 70,000 shallow conversations into deep connections.

In the past few years, he has run more than 30 workshops and trainings with more than 700 trainers, facilitators, educators, and team leaders. They learn the skills to create engaging, purposeful, inclusive, and connecting experiences on Zoom. Recently, he relocated from Canada to Germany to be closer to family and is continuing to build a community of trainers, facilitators, and creators that create “Magical Human Moments” online. His work has been featured on TEDx, CBC News, Breakfast TV, Cityline, and HuffPost.

Sam Mahmoody is the founder of Liberty Tutoring, which offers 1-on-1 online tutoring across Quebec and Ontario, Canada.

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Sam discuss:

  • The types of courses and students Sam has
  • Liberty Tutoring’s hiring process and curricula
  • How Sam’s business grew and evolved
  • Logistical challenges and offering a quality experience
  • Defining the core of Sam’s business


“The spark was realizing my passion for teaching, and the joy that I was getting from helping my students. It was just… priceless.”  — Sam Mahmoody



Sam Mahmoody is an engineer with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University. He discovered his passion for teaching when, during his last semester of the undergraduate program, one of his professors asked him to be his Teaching Assistant and review the materials taught in class with students during tutorial sessions. That discovery led him to start his tutoring business in 2004 to help students tap into their undiscovered potential and ability for learning and lead them in the path to independence.

His company, Liberty Tutoring, currently offers 1-on-1 online tutoring across Quebec and Ontario. Following their success with younger students, they further expanded their services to teach French as a Second Language to adults and professionals. Their ultimate goal is to give students the confidence they need to achieve their goals and dreams. Whether it’s the business owner who needs to learn French so they can serve the French clientele or the grade-10 student who dreads math, Liberty Tutoring gives them the confidence they need to shatter the barriers standing in their way.

Michael Sheridan is “Ireland's favorite dream expert,” the author of two books, and a radio host. His passion is to see people become all they came here to be and help them live their lives to their fullest potential.   

In this episode, Ari, Abe, and Michael discuss:

  • Michael’s background and how he got into online courses
  • Teaching a sensitive and personal topic within a group setting
  • Building connections and engaging with students
  • How Michael discovered he had a sales problem and worked through it
  • Michael’s thoughts about what should be free versus paid


“It just helped enormously by moving online in terms of the efficiency and the effectiveness of everything I did. And I was able to maximize the amount of people I could work with.”
– Michael Sheridan


Michael Sheridan is Ireland's favorite dream expert. He was a regular on the #1 TV talk show in Ireland, Ireland AM, as well as a regular on Ireland's most popular radio shows, including the Inbox on 98FM, sharing the stage with both metaphysical and movie stars such as Paddy McMahon and Frank Vincent. He's appeared on the BBC and countless other premier media outlets, interpreting dreams for his wide audience.

He's the author of two books as well as a radio host with his own show on KKNW. His passion is to see people become all they came here to be and to live their lives to their fullest potential. He does this by interpreting dreams. From reading your dreams, he can give clear direction on your life purpose, reveal the gifts that you brought with you to help achieve that purpose, and uncover the blocks you need to overcome in order to step into alignment.

With a focus on helping clients heal childhood trauma, Michael launched his first course in 1992. In 2012, he added online courses to his offerings, and by 2015, after much experimentation, he switched entirely to an online hybrid model using the Ruzuku platform. The hybrid model greatly increased course reach, course efficiency, and course effectiveness, and laid the framework for many later courses.

Randi Rubenstein is the founder of Mastermind Parenting and host of the Mastermind Parenting Podcast. She runs programs to support parents with strong willed children into fostering better and more open relationships.

In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Randi about the iterations of her Mastermind Parenting course.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Randi’s personal experience with a strong willed child, leading to her course.
  • Evolution of a course from one-on-one to online coaching.
  • The urge to firehouse students with information and support.
  • Working with clients on something as personal and sensitive as parenting.
  • Helping over-stressed parents see their own progress.
  • Accountability being managed by coursebuilders and coursetakers.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.



“That's the reason people stick around for years… because it is a parenting program but it's really a parenting / personal development program.” – Randi Rubenstein

Randi Rubenstein coaches parents raising challenging or strong willed kids. She believes: Perfection is the enemy when it comes to parenting. A good parent is simply one who strives to be better. Our strong willed kids give us a nudge to do the "bettering" work.

Dr. Barbara Birsinger is the creator of the Behavior Decoding Method as well as the CEO and Founder of The Energetics of Eating. She works with people from all walks of life who want to focus on true health and self-love rather than be pressured by the tenets of “diet culture.” 


In this episode, Abe and Barbara explore:

  • How she decided on her target audience
  • The modalities of her instruction and interaction with students
  • Customizing her offering and incorporating feedback  
  • Exploring the emotional aspect of the problems your students face
  • The importance of a clear customer focus

“I started getting really dramatic results, like people absolutely stopping their intractable behaviors…. And that's when I thought, I'm the only one who's doing this.”

– Dr. Barbara Birsinger


Creator of the Behavior Decoding Method™, Dr. Barbara Birsinger has invested over three decades studying, researching, and innovating a system to put an end to food and body-image struggles. More than 70 percent of the population, mostly women, encounter these challenges fueled by a culture obsessed with weight, size, and appearance rather than real health, self-love, and appreciating diversity.

Dr. Birsinger has worked with people from all walks of life: CEOs, students, doctors, professionals, entrepreneurs, stay-at-home moms, and more. In the process she designed a revolutionary system for revealing the deeper meaning, purpose, and intended positive outcome in eating and weight-related behaviors. This includes revising limiting beliefs and identity, as well as fulfilling spiritual longings that are essential for lasting change. 

To make a greater global impact with her work, she has secured a U.S. Patent Pending for the development of a mobile app based on her Food & Body Code® program, which will also serve as a referral tool to match individuals looking for support with experienced professionals trained in her methods to reach a broader audience and extend the healing.

Dr. Birsinger thrives on training health and mental health practitioners and experienced coaches in her certification and continuing-education courses. She also enjoys professional speaking to diverse groups on broader topics that also are derived from her Mind-Body Core Code™ principles. From professional organizations to large training and speaking events, Dr. Birsinger enjoys motivating audiences while providing new and provocative information to help them find more peace, freedom, and living their dreams.

The Instant Courses platform offers all of this with fully customizable options and the ability to literally get a course online in a matter of minutes.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What exactly is Ruzuku’s Instant Courses 
  • The distinction between core and peripheral courses
  • Best business uses for peripheral courses
  • How these courses are built
  • The integration of Instant Courses and the overall Ruzuku platform
  • Course and student life cycles

“Anytime you want to add something that complements the coaching or services you do, you don't necessarily need to build that from scratch —you can just pull from a library of instantly available courses.”
 
— Abe Crystal


“People came to me and Abe all the time to learn how to build and sell courses. Well, how would they want that process shortcut? It's like, well, what if they could press a button, and the course was up and ready to go.”

  • Cyndy’s creation of an evergreen course as an alternative for students
  • The challenges of online learning and coaching for personal styling, and how Cyndy solved these
  • Balancing art and science in personal branding
  • The importance of identifying and addressing students’ pain points


“Only 4% of all women worldwide believe they're beautiful. And so you can imagine, if you're a woman, and you don't feel comfortable in your own skin, putting yourself out there in any kind of business is difficult.”

 – Cyndy Porter

Cyndy Porter is a personal brand and image consultant and founder of Success Thru Style. She earned a degree in marketing, then spent 20 years as a sales and marketing professional in the tech industry. Her stops included WAIS (one of the first Internet companies), Kodak, and finally, American Online (AOL), where she was a Divisional Vice President of Brand Marketing.

Following her corporate years, Cyndy became an award-winning professional photographer. She is now also certified as an image consultant and a story coach.

John Bowen was in the right place at the right time, being CEO of two large financial advisory firms in Silicon Valley in the 1990s. And from that vantage point, he had noticed a gap in the industry — far too many financial advisors were reinventing the wheel when it came to research. So he started CEG Worldwide in 2000, which is now the world’s leading coaching firm for financial advisors.

In this episode Danny, Abe, and John talk about:

  • Clarity of focus and clarity of outcome
  • The intentionality of focusing on the affluent segment
  • The value of market research
  • Having a “moat” in your industry


After the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways.

“We're very, very, very clear that we're going to help them race up this hierarchy of advisor success that I'm describing. And that it's not only the money part, but they're going to have this amazing life of significance.”

– John Bowen

In this special episode, Danny and Abe examine ChatGPT (and artificial intelligence broadly) as a free and simple tool for course creators. And as with most things free and simple, there’s the “for better or for worse” with this rapidly developing technology. Anyone creating or thinking about creating online courses needs to know the opportunities and pitfalls that are here and on the horizon.


In this episode Danny and Abe explore:

  • What ChatGPT is and isn’t
  • Danny’s bio as generated by ChatGPT — the good, the bad, and the ugly
  • The impact of AI on the value of information-based courses
  • The right way and wrong way to use this technology
  • How AI is affecting higher education
  • The benefits of these tools for idea generation
  • And much more


“Another big advantage over a human, moderately competent assistant: You can only tell a human so many times, ‘You got it wrong, try again.’ ChatGPT will never be offended. So you can keep sending it back until you're happy with what you've got.”

Jonathan Levi is a serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and founder of SuperHuman Enterprises. Jonathan’s media products have been enjoyed by over 350,000 people in 205 countries and territories.  

In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Jonathan about his journey through many platforms of teaching, covering in particular: 

  • The evolution of courses and online platforms over the past decade
  • Implementing interactive learning into an online course
  • Andragogy: the science of adult learning
  • The importance of “why” as the foundation of the learning process
  • YouTube as a way to demonstrate expertise and acquire students 

“The adult brain learns differently than the child's brain. And one of the most important, if not the most important thing… is that adults need to know why [they’re learning].”

– Jonathan Levi

Jonathan Levi is a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and keynote speaker born and raised in Silicon Valley. At the age of 16, he started an e-commerce company that would go on to become one of Inc.’s 5,000 fastest growing companies in America before being sold in 2011.

Starting in 2014, Jonathan has been one of the top-performing instructors on online learning platform Udemy. He then snowballed this success into the launch of his rapidly growing information products company, SuperHuman Enterprises. The company produces such products as the award-winning SuperHuman Academy Podcast; the bestselling "Become a SuperLearner®” print, digital, and audio books; and numerous other online courses through its portals, SuperHuman Academy® and Branding You™ Academy. SuperHuman now counts more than 350,000 people as customers in nearly every country around the world.

In 2022, Jonathan sold his personal development brands and portfolio to online education company Mirasee, with the intent of focusing more on Bitcoin and 3D-printing-related content. Jonathan holds a B.A. in Sociology from UC Berkeley and a Master’s in Business from INSEAD. He lives in Tel Aviv, Israel, with his wife, Limmor, and his son, Ari.

Jonathan Levi is a serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and founder of SuperHuman Enterprises. Jonathan’s media products have been enjoyed by over 350,000 people in 205 countries and territories.  

In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Jonathan about his journey through many platforms of teaching, covering in particular: 

  • The evolution of courses and online platforms over the past decade
  • Implementing interactive learning into an online course
  • Andragogy: the science of adult learning
  • The importance of “why” as the foundation of the learning process
  • YouTube as a way to demonstrate expertise and acquire students 

“The adult brain learns differently than the child's brain. And one of the most important, if not the most important thing… is that adults need to know why [they’re learning].”

– Jonathan Levi

Jonathan Levi is a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author, and keynote speaker born and raised in Silicon Valley. At the age of 16, he started an e-commerce company that would go on to become one of Inc.’s 5,000 fastest growing companies in America before being sold in 2011.

Starting in 2014, Jonathan has been one of the top-performing instructors on online learning platform Udemy. He then snowballed this success into the launch of his rapidly growing information products company, SuperHuman Enterprises. The company produces such products as the award-winning SuperHuman Academy Podcast; the bestselling "Become a SuperLearner®” print, digital, and audio books; and numerous other online courses through its portals, SuperHuman Academy® and Branding You™ Academy. SuperHuman now counts more than 350,000 people as customers in nearly every country around the world.

In 2022, Jonathan sold his personal development brands and portfolio to online education company Mirasee, with the intent of focusing more on Bitcoin and 3D-printing-related content. Jonathan holds a B.A. in Sociology from UC Berkeley and a Master’s in Business from INSEAD. He lives in Tel Aviv, Israel, with his wife, Limmor, and his son, Ari.

Lawrence XVII) full 60mp8z61 https://share.transistor.fm/s/1a34278f Special "business revenue leak checklist" offer, free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.


With decades in radio, acting in 100+ TV shows, and voiceover work all along the way, David H. Lawrence XVII began to get questions from people. They wanted to know how to get into voiceover work, what equipment is needed, how to make money, and much more. With classic entrepreneurial spirit, David created several courses to teach students how to succeed as voice talent. That modest beginning has now grown into 30+ courses, a team of coaches, and a vibrant community — all under the business name VO Heroes.

Fun Fact: David is regarded as the first podcaster, dating to 1994 when he sent out audio to subscribers over the Internet as a “Personal Netcast.”

In this episode Danny, Abe, and David talk about:

  • How you should never let your looks, beliefs, or age hold you back (David’s first on-camera work was at age 50!)
  • Building a course business that fits your lifestyle — or fits with your other business
  • The ways David has built gamification and other support mechanisms into his courses
  • How professional performers “work out” and how these workouts are built into his program
  • Overcoming the perception that marketing is a “bad word”
  • And more


After the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways

“I have luckily been involved in communities and groups that have given us a joy of marketing rather than a fear or loathing of marketing… being at peace with understanding that you need to be able to market and price and invoice and collect.”

– David H. Lawrence XVII




David H. Lawrence XVII


David Harvard Lawrence XVII is an American television and film actor, voice talent, network radio host, Internet entrepreneur, podcaster, demo producer, teacher, and author, best known for his role as The Puppetmaster on NBC's sci-fi series Heroes. He was also the host of the daily The David Lawrence Show and weekend Online Tonight, both nationally syndicated radio talk shows that revolved around pop culture and the high-tech lifestyle. Today, in addition to his performance work, he runs his highly acclaimed online course business, VO Heroes.

The "XVII" in his name was a way for Lawrence to distinguish himself from previous David Lawrences already registered with the Screen Actors Guild. At the time, he was the 17th David Lawrence listed on IMDb, and appended the number to his name upon his own registry.

In this episode Danny, Abe, and Happi discuss:

  • Teaching students in a highly challenging and regulated field like finance
  • How to navigate student expectations especially when there is significant downside risk
  • Differentiating your course when there is so much competing information available
  • The importance of developing a larger business around your courses

    After the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways.

Welcome to For Better or For Work. What’s it like to be partners in business and in life? Mirasee owners Danny Iny and Bhoomi Pathak tackle the unique challenges as well as benefits of working with a spouse or significant other. Each episode features a guest couple who also share their experiences, perspectives, and hard-earned wisdom.

“We do just have a ridiculous amount of fun together."

 – Amy Port

“We had been working together for years before we became a couple, so we already had some of those work roles, responsibilities, even rhythms and routines in place.”

 – Michael Port



Michael Port has written nine books which have been featured on the bestseller lists of the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly and have been selected by Amazon and 800-CEO-READ as “best books of the year.”

He was once a professional actor, having received his MFA from NYU’s Graduate Acting Program, guest starring on shows like Sex & The City and Law & Order, and in films like The Pelican Brief and Down to Earth. These days, Michael can be seen on MSNBC, CNBC, and PBS as an on air expert in communication and business development and as the host of the most popular podcast on public speaking and performance, Steal the Show with Michael Port.

Amy Port is the Co-Founder and President of Heroic Public Speaking; her work extends from the execution of corporate training packages, to development of CEO keynotes, private masterclasses and coaching.

After earning her MFA in Acting from The Yale School of Drama, Amy spent years acting professionally in theaters such as Seattle Repertory, Oregon Shakespeare and Yale Rep, and working consistently in commercials. She now applies the skills of performance that only well-trained actors know to the coaching of ‘non-actors’ looking to crush their sales presentations, to make their voices heard in TED Talk style presentations, and to take the big stage keynoting major conferences.

Welcome to To Lead Is Human. This new show, hosted by executive business coach Sharon Richmond, helps listeners envision how they can uplevel their leadership and shape cultures of accountability, respect, and candor.

“And so one of my deepest values is to respect the deep dimensionality of every human in that you have to take every human as a unique instance of an entire world.”  – Dart Lindsley



Dart Lindsley leads Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google. Before joining Google, Dart led the Human Resources Transformation Planning and Analysis organization for Cisco Systems.

Dart founded the Business architecture and Employee Experience Design teams at Cisco. By focusing these two very different disciplines on questions of talent, Dart and his team came to an important insight:  employees are not just inputs to production as they are usually framed, they are customers, and work is a product companies sell to them.

Ever since, Dart has been using tools from marketing and product design to delve into what people really want from work (spoiler alert - it's not what you think), and ways in which companies can build and deliver an extraordinary work-experience product.


For more than 30 years, Sharon Richmond has partnered with C-level executives from mid-size and small, fast-growing companies who want to up-level their leadership and build companies they are proud of. Clients accelerate their leadership by embracing mindset and behavior changes, building self-awareness and self-management skills, and focusing on the three things all leaders must ensure: focus, energy and delivery.

Sharon’s purpose as an executive coach is to help leaders 10X their impact by leveraging the power afforded by their roles to build organizations that are forces for good, both economically and socially. She also advises CEOs on shaping organization culture and leading change.

Sharon has taught leadership at Stanford GSB, where she now helps leaders increase influence, manage conflict, and prepare to build high-performing teams.

Anne Bishop and Chantill Lopez are the creators of The Embodied Course Creation Program. They help embodied movement teachers design courses that can be completed entirely online. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Getting past mindset barriers to open up new opportunities in course creation.
  • What are embodied practices?
  • Stepping into embodied practices in online courses.
  • Designing variability into your course to give students a range of learning opportunities.
  • Using body-based and somatic techniques to move students forward.
  • How to use pre-course preparations to increase engagement and completion rates.
  • Understanding embodied cognition to create a more complete experience.
  • The power of partnering to create a more dynamic and lucrative course.

“One of the most powerful components of embodiment, is that it’s not necessarily that you're moving, but that you're sensing.”
 – Anne Bishop

“And the truth is, specifically for a movement practitioner, if you are constantly putting your hands on somebody, they are reliant on your feedback to make choices and decisions that hold your students hostage to your expertise.”
 – Chantill Lopez 

 


Anne's love of teaching began in grade school when she supported other students in math and ballet class. She has over 20 + years of educating Pilates and movement leaders working with a range of clients from Olympic Athletes for the 2008 Beijing Olympics to connecting brain science to movement practice for professionals working in rehabilitation. As a forward thinker, Anne weaves the principles of education, embodiment, and entrepreneurship to support others in building businesses and lifestyles that design for more time and financial freedom.

 


Chantill is a 20-year movement educator, international presenter, and mentor. She is the founder of the education company, Skillful Teaching, the creator of the Thinking Pilates Podcast and author of two books on teaching, Moving Beyond Technique, and soon to be released Teaching (Movement) Matters (2020).


Chantill’s work currently focuses on teaching and learning from the whole-person and whole-body perspective, drawing from brain-based learning frameworks, motivation and communication science, somatic and humanistic psychology, and other cutting edge models such as the Polyvagal Theory and those promoting full-body tissue integration, fascial-oriented training, and nervous system regulation. She’s recently created and launched a new teaching framework called Integrative Movement Facilitation.

Chantill is a master trainer for one of the largest Pilates education companies in the world, Balanced Body Inc, a featured presenter for Fusion Pilates EDU, and the creator of one of Pilates Metrics’ original movement libraries.

Her BIG PASSION is supporting movement teachers of all kinds in taking their work to the next level both personally and professionally through two flagship projects: the Skillful Teaching Mentorship Program and the Science + Psychology of Teaching Master’s Program

Susan Schramm is a consultant, marketing expert and the CEO of Go To Market Impact, LLC. She helps business leaders get faster results with their high-stakes strategies.

     In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Susan about formatting and structuring an online program suited for senior executives.

Susan Schramm is Founder of Go to Market Impact LLC, a business consultancy that helps CEO's and boards get results faster when driving high-stakes strategies.

Go To Market Impact's proprietary De-Risk System for Impact ℠ helps leaders systematically uncover the hidden risks of new strategies and develop a game plan to manage those risks. Ten percent of gross revenues of the firm are invested in programs and scholarships to equip purpose-led leaders.

Before starting her consultancy, Susan held executive roles with IBM, Siemens, Nokia, Viavi Networks. She has a proven record of accomplishment launching new products and services, innovative programs and brands, and new companies. Recent engagements include optimizing diverse industry supply chains, accelerating public safety innovation, implementing secure smart cities, readying the workforce of the future, and equipping purpose-led entrepreneurs around the globe to build sustainable businesses and create jobs.

Susan currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of the Nehemiah Project International Ministries, and has served on the boards of the YMCA, the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, and the Telecommunications Industry Association. Susan holds a BS in Management Sciences from Duke University.

Go To Market Impact's proprietary De-Risk System for Impact ℠ helps leaders systematically uncover the hidden risks of new strategies and develop a game plan to manage those risks.

Before starting her consultancy, Susan held executive roles with IBM, Siemens, Nokia, Viavi Networks. She has a proven record of accomplishment launching new products and services, innovative programs and brands, and new companies. Recent engagements include optimizing diverse industry supply chains, accelerating public safety innovation, implementing secure smart cities, readying the workforce of the future, and equipping purpose-led entrepreneurs around the globe to build sustainable businesses and create jobs.

  • The importance of understanding the motivation of your students.
  • Scaling and business model dynamics.

Cybele is the creator of Cybele’s Well. Her courses guide students in using crystals and stones to cultivate embodied intuition and practice self healing. She brings her continued growth and training as a healer to her online community.

In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Cybele about her unique course structures. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • The value of building a loyal community, regardless of size.
  • How doing what you find meaningful can translate into a course and business.
  • Why scaling just for the sake of scaling doesn’t serve any purpose.
  • The power of leaning into your strengths and gifts.
  • Creating a course that is tactile and experiential.
  • Designing a course journey that is ongoing. 
  • Using a sliding scale payment structure. 

“It's about the creativity and the community and the healing that happens. I mean, most of the people in this group, I've known for 20 to 34 years.”  – Cybele



Cybele (AKA Suzette Rochat) is a Lomi Bodyworker, Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, and Intuitive Stone Healer, who has practiced hands-on healing & intuitive work since 1979.

Over the past two decades, Cybele has taken her longtime practice of working with the body and dreaming into the earth-work of Stone Medicine.

Her meditations & devotional study of stone-lore and geology led to the creation of a pair of 8-session monthly workshops that combine healing work with stones, color and the chakras - the 7 Gates Journeys.

A long-time dream worker & ritual-maker, Cybele also offers birthday dream incubations with a stone for individuals. Find more info about Cybele at www.cybeleswell.com.

Michael Port is an author, speaker and course creator. His latest book is titled The Referable Speaker. He runs a business called Heroic Public Speaking and is the host of the popular podcast, Steal the Show.

     In this episode, Danny and Abe talk with Michael about his wildly successful, high-ticket course on public speaking.

In this episode we discuss:

What is the difference between an expert and a visionary, and why is it important?

  • The compounding nature of turning the flywheel and trusting the process.
  • Ways to properly pilot a course.
  • Progressing from piloting to high-ticket course.
  • The power of referrals. 
  • When can offering services for free really pay off?
  • Finding your unique approach that sets your course apart from others like it.

“And if you can change the way people think, you can change what they do.”

– Michael Port

Michael Port has written nine books, including The Referable Speaker, Book Yourself Solid and Steal the Show, the latter which—according to the former President of Starbucks—“might be the most unique and practical book ever written on the topic of public speaking”.

     He’s been called an “uncommonly honest author” by the Boston Globe, a “marketing guru” by The Wall Street Journal, a “sales guru” by the Financial Times, “a public speaking phenom” by Jonathan Fields and “the best public speaking coach in the world” by Lewis Howes. The founder of MastermindTalks, Jayson Gaignard, declared, “Michael Port is the best speaker I’ve ever seen”.

     His books have been on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly. They have also been selected by Amazon and 800-CEO-READ as “best books of the year.”

     He was once a professional actor, having received his MFA from NYU’s Graduate Acting Program, guest starring on shows like Sex & The City and Law & Order, and in films like The Pelican Brief and Down to Earth. These days, Michael can be seen on MSNBC, CNBC and PBS as an on-air expert in communication and business development and as the host of the most popular podcast on public speaking and performance, Steal the Show with Michael Port.

Meghan Telpner is the founder of the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, a nutrition-based culinary certification course. When she was unable to keep up with demand for her in-person cooking classes, Meghan began offering video classes online. Despite the saturated fields of nutrition and cooking, she thrived by continually raising the bar in structure and support.

     In this episode, Danny, Abe and Meghan discuss elements of course building that create real value for students—from enrollment to support to certification. If you’re willing to step up, you can succeed in any niche.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why more content does not equal more value.
  • High-conversion enrollment sessions.
  • Assignment structures and accountability.
  • Working with organic leads vs. social media ads.
  • Structuring support for high success rates.
  • Raising the bar by being adaptable, resourceful and creative.

“But what I always say is that you're not buying a certificate, you're buying the education, and the certification has to be earned.”
– Meghan Telpner


Meghan Telpner is a Toronto-based best-selling author, speaker, nutritionist, and founder of the Academy of Culinary Nutrition. Her humorous, engaging and real approach to living an awesome, healthy life has garnered her a world-wide audience.

     Meghan’s Academy of Culinary Nutrition is growing a global community of vibrant living advocates, and her bestselling books, UnDiet: Eat Your Way to Vibrant Health and The UnDiet Cookbook, are creating a revolution in how people think about their health.

Meghan Telpner is the founder of the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, a nutrition-based culinary certification course. When she was unable to keep up with demand for her in-person cooking classes, Meghan began offering video classes online. Despite the saturated fields of nutrition and cooking, she thrived by continually raising the bar in structure and support.

     In this episode, Danny, Abe and Meghan discuss elements of course building that create real value for students—from enrollment to support to certification. If you’re willing to step up, you can succeed in any niche.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why more content does not equal more value.
  • High-conversion enrollment sessions.
  • Assignment structures and accountability.
  • Working with organic leads vs. social media ads.
  • Structuring support for high success rates.
  • Raising the bar by being adaptable, resourceful and creative.

“But what I always say is that you're not buying a certificate, you're buying the education, and the certification has to be earned.”
– Meghan Telpner

We are just about ready to kick off season two of Course Lab. Our next season promises great behind-the-scenes insights from course creators who are doing very interesting course designs and getting really powerful results. We’ll also talk with course builders about business models and structures that are making their businesses more scalable and lucrative. 


     But before we do that, we thought it would be fun to compile some of the most frequently asked questions that come our way and answer them. If you have ever asked (or wanted to ask) Danny or Abe about course building, this might be your lucky day!  


     

In this episode we discuss:

  • What makes the difference between a successful course and one that is not?
  • How can you know if your course will sell?
  • How much time should you spend on making the course vs. marketing the course?
  • Do you really need to add coaching or support as part of your course?
  • How long does it take to go from zero to successful online course?
  • What’s the one thing Danny and Abe would add to a course to make it better?
  • …and more!

“And many of the most effective courses that I've seen and participated in are very, very carefully focused and have a minimum amount of content to lead you forward into application and taking action.” 

– Abe Crystal



Danny Iny is the founder and CEO of Mirasee and best-selling author of nine published books, including Teach Your Gift,  Leveraged Learning, Teach and Grow Rich, The Audience Revolution, and Engagement from Scratch!. He is the co-host of the Course Lab podcast and executive producer of the Mirasee FM podcast network. Danny has developed innovative training programs that have raised the bar for online education. These include the Teach Your Gift Pro, ACES and Something From Scratch.

     All of this grew out of humble beginnings. He started out just like most online entrepreneurs, with an idea and message to share, and no idea how to do it. He made several wrong turns, but he’s fond of saying that failure isn’t the end of the story—it’s a “plot twist”.

Back in 2011, he started Firepole Marketing with less than nothing; he had no traffic, no subscribers, no relationships with any influencers in the industry, and over a quarter million dollars in personal debt, left over from his last failed startup.

     In just a few short years, he transformed Firepole Marketing into Mirasee and grew the business to multiple-seven figures in revenue. Together with his business partner and talented wife, Bhoomi, he now leads a team of 80+ people spread all over the world, who are on a mission to support a very special global community of 100,000+ loyal and inspired entrepreneurs.

     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.


Abe Crystal is the CEO and co-founder of Ruzuku, an online course platform focused on student engagement. He’s also a strategic advisor to Mirasee.

     Abe helps authors, coaches, speakers, and other independent experts create their own online courses and learning communities. He and his team at Ruzuku are on a mission to usher in a new wave of independent, authentic teachers around the world and invest them with the tools and support to succeed—everything the clients need to create, sell, and teach amazing courses.

     Abe is also the author of The Business of Courses, about the process of adding online courses to your product and services offerings.

     Abe is an adjunct professor in the School of Education at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He specializes in learning design and user experience research and earned his Ph.D. in human-computer interaction at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Our featured guest today is Course Lab’s own co-host, Danny Iny, founder and CEO of Mirasee and executive producer of the Mirasee FM podcast network.

He recounts his journey from hopeful teen business owner to successful CEO, sharing the valuable lessons he learned along the way.

     In this episode, Abe and Danny deep dive into Danny’s expertise of industry trends, premium courses and student transformation.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to predict industry trends.
  • What are course buyers looking for?
  • What constitutes a premium course now and going forward?
  • What is a hybrid course, and how is it different?
  • What are the three steps in every learning process?
  • How can course creators learn how to build a premium hybrid course?

In this episode we discuss:

  • The future of evergreen courses vs. more facilitated courses.
  • Adding courses to an existing business.

Over the past few episodes, Course Lab has gone beyond the design of courses, diving deep into the platforms that host them. We’ve been talking with industry leaders about their vision of the future and what that means for you as a course creator. Today, Course Lab features our own co-host, Abe Crystal, co-founder and CEO of Ruzuku, an online course platform focused on student engagement.

In this episode, Danny and Abe talk about industry trends, increasing engagement and why  deeply connecting with students and potential students is paramount. We also get a sneak peek into some big news headed our way for Ruzuku, this week’s featured company!

In this episode we discuss:

  • The future of evergreen courses vs. more facilitated courses.
  • Adding courses to an existing business.
  • Offering additional products and services to an existing course.
  • Broader trends in educational shifts to online learning.
  • The importance of really knowing your students and what and how they want to learn.

For the next few episodes, Course Lab is going beyond the design of courses and diving deep into the platforms that host them. We are talking with industry leaders about their vision of the future and what that means for you as a course creator. Today, we feature Greg Smith, co-founder and CEO of Thinkific, an all-in-one software platform designed to help people create online courses and memberships.

In this episode, Danny, Abe and Greg discuss industry trends and incredible opportunities available for niche educators. The future of education seems to be trending in a way that puts the student at the helm, as opposed to standardized experts. That trend is creating enormous opportunities for those who have knowledge to share and a passion for sharing it.

Thinkific has just released a trends report covering the creator economy titled Closing the Gap. This report features unprecedented insights about the creator economy—who is excelling within it, and what’s in store for the space. Here is your access to the free, full report, eLearning Trends | Thinkific.


In this episode we discuss:

  • How community integrates into the learning experience and how it can change the sales funnel.
  • The future of diverse niches and the opportunities it presents.
  • Opportunities available for serious course builders and hobbyists.
  • Where is the market saturated and where are the still-golden opportunities?
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.


“ You can go more and more narrow with a niche, or you can go deeper and deeper with the transformation, and in both cases, the shallow and wide is where it's very saturated.”

– Danny Iny

“I think more and more, we're seeing people niche down and be more comfortable teaching from their own perspective, from their own background, giving their own slant on a topic, or teaching it a certain way, and I think that helps move us away from any kind of saturation.”

– Greg Smith

Greg Smith is the Founder and CEO of Thinkific, the leading platform for creating, marketing and selling online courses and membership sites. Greg is passionate about helping entrepreneurs create or grow a business around their own passions, knowledge or skills.

     Prior to launching Thinkific, Greg was a corporate lawyer for one of the largest law firms in the country. During this time, he launched an online course as a side project, which allowed him to share his passion and expertise with thousands around the world. Revenues from his course soon surpassed his salary as a lawyer.

     Since then, Greg and his team at Thinkific have grown to power the courses for over tens of thousands of people in 190 countries, which have taught millions of students.

     When he’s not empowering knowledge entrepreneurs, Greg can be found kiteboarding, sitting around a campfire, playing board games, and spending time with his wife, daughter and son.

 For the next few episodes, Course Lab is going beyond the design of courses and diving deep into the platforms that host them. We are talking with industry leaders about their vision of the future and what that means for you as a course creator. Today, we feature Gina Bianchini, co-founder and CEO of Mighty Networks, a community software platform designed to help businesses create online courses.

     In this episode, Danny, Abe and Gina talk about Gina’s passion and expertise in creating online communities and how that led to the all-in-one, community-centered platform she runs today. The three discuss the impact that group interaction has on transformation and scaling opportunities as well as possible industry trends. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • The convergence of online courses and communities.
  • Is there still room in the market for new course creators?
  • Scaling your business on a single platform.
  • Moving from content-only to transformational courses.
  • The flywheel effect of adding layers and tools to an existing course.
  • The importance of recognizing and playing to your own strengths when making decisions about what tools and platforms to use for your online business.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.


“I am both personally and professionally obsessed with how we create social experiences with communities and courses that enable people to achieve results and transformation in their lives that they simply can't get on their own.”

– Gina Bianchini


     Gina Bianchini is the Founder & CEO of Mighty Networks. Her mission at Mighty Networks is to usher in a new era of creative business built on community. Mighty serves “creators with a purpose” selling experiences, relationships, and expertise to their members via community, content, online courses, and subscription commerce–all offered in one place under the creator’s brand.

     Before Mighty Networks, Gina and Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen launched Ning, a pioneering global platform for creating niche social networks. Under her leadership, Ning grew to ~100 million people in 300,000 active social networks across subcultures, professional networks, entertainment, politics, and education.

     Gina and Mighty Networks have been featured in Fast Company, Wired, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, and The New York Times. She has appeared on Charlie Rose, CNBC, and CNN. She grew up in Cupertino, California, graduated with honors from Stanford University, started her career in the nascent High Technology Group at Goldman, Sachs & Co., and received her M.B.A from Stanford Business School.

    Patty Block is the founder of The Block Group, a company that provides consulting for women-owned businesses. She has created a system of online courses and group memberships that build on each other, creating momentum for her own business and spilling over into her client’s success.

     In this episode, Danny, Abe and Patty discuss how, after a number of failed courses, Patty found relatively quick success with her new course-creation model. She combines a tight niche with a strong client connection and quick results. It’s all in the flywheel. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • The important difference between creating course content and having a good client connection.
  • Shifting mindset to take different action for both course creators and their clients.  
  • Using feedback from clients or potential clients to guide course-building. 
  • Having a tight filter for prospective clients to better tailor your program.
  • Why hybrid courses result in higher engagement rates.
  • The importance of market research and trusting the process.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.


“They don’t want the content; they want results, so the focus I bring is on helping them get results.”
– Patty Block


     In 2006, Patty Block created The Block Group to empower women business owners who are experts in their fields. As their trusted advisor, Patty brings a unique perspective, having experienced and solved many of the same complex issues women face in their professional and personal lives.

     Having seen the same struggles time and again, she teaches women how to shift their mindset and build their confidence to generate more revenue with less stress by reimagining pricing and selling. Patty believes that when women earn more, everyone around them benefits - their staff, their family and their community. Clients often refer to her as their “business therapist” and “secret weapon” because she forms strong relationships, understands and refines their company’s internal workings, and serves as a strategic sounding board.

     Anke Herrmann is a tech professional and entrepreneur, but she also enjoys sewing and has a love for the world of flamenco. She went from blogging about her hobby to creating online courses to teach others how to do it as well. She founded Flamenco Dressmaking, an online company that features her courses.   


     In this episode, Danny, Abe and Anke give tips for thriving in a narrow niche. Anke shares how she built a community, pre-sold her course and learned why she should avoid underpricing her products. We are reminded that following our passions and teaching our gifts can be very rewarding and profitable, no matter how small the niche.  


In this episode we discuss:


  • The importance of an online community when course building in a narrow niche.

  • Pre-selling a course to gauge profitability.  

  • The role of social media in gaining exposure.

  • The benefits of teaching your passion when it’s not your profession.

  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.

“Making something cheaper does not make it an easier sale.”


“I actually sold it before I built it, because it was a giant piece of work.”

She created courses to teach others the incredible art of flamenco dressmaking and continues to enjoy this passion.

Bradley Morris is the founder and CEO of Majik Media, a company that helps course creators and coaches produce highly engaging content. Since 2007, when his first-ever video went viral, he has been studying how and why people consume information as well as what keeps them engaged and eager for more.

     In this episode, Danny, Abe and Bradley reach deep into Bradley’s three-pillar process of adding entertainment and accountability to teaching and course-building. Even if you are not a naturally creative person, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to bolster the binge worthiness of your content.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The three pillars of building an engaging course.
  • What is theme-ification and should you consider using it?
  • Bringing in back-up when you need creative help.
  • Ways to think outside the box with video and/or audio.
  • Creating accountability by establishing a community.
  • How having fun while building your course can translate through the content.
  • Setting up your business model to avoid burnout.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.

“The problem with the majority of online education out there is that it lacks personality…that’s why it falls flat.”

“It might not be your job to come up with the creative ideas; you might need help to make it the best course you can.”
– Bradley Morris

Guest Bio:
     Bradley Morris has been producing inspirational media since 2007 when his first video went viral, leading to speaking tours around North America.

  • Designing your course as a scalable business.
  • Creating long-term viability into your course/business model.
  • Ways to do less while serving more.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.

“When we lead with an offer, and we speak to people who want to change their life, then we attract a different caliber of lead.”

“The numbers might look good, initially, but it's inherently building a broken business model, and you're going to be burned out and not really know what to do.”
– Joel Erway

Gini Dietrich is the founder and CEO of Armand Deitrich, an integrated marketing communications firm based in Chicago and Spin Sucks, a PR and marketing blog and consulting site. As course creators, we often start with a course that we turn into a more robust business. We then scale that business into something larger to serve more people. Most of us don’t end up changing an entire industry.

     In this episode, Danny and Abe talk to Gini Dietrich about how she is doing just that by taking ownership of her space in the industry, setting new standards and reaching out to partner with a university to establish credibility for her methods — and her students. In the process, she’s raising the bar for public relations and marketing professionals.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Partnering outside your business, including to increase credibility.
  • Adding “triggers” to your course curriculum to improve engagement and progress.
  • Continually reviewing and updating your course to better serve your clients. 
  • Crafting a course with a unique perspective or twist to boost recognition and legitimacy.   
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.



“So having those triggers and quizzes and making it easy to go from one to the next index really helped.”
– Gini Dietrich


“Your course doesn't have to be perfect right out of the gate, but every time you run it, it's an opportunity to look at it and ask yourself, ‘well, how can I make this better?’.”
– Danny Iny

     Gini Dietrich is the founder and CEO of Armand Dietrich and Spin Sucks. She is author and the host of the Spin Sucks podcast.

Tad Hargrave is the founder of Marketing for Hippies, a company that teaches ethical marketing strategies to business owners. Traditional marketing techniques can feel outright icky to some business owners, so how can you get course recognition without feeling smarmy?

     In this episode of Course Lab, Danny, Abe and Tad cover a ton of ideas to get your creative juices flowing with alternative ways to structure and market your course. Tune in and mellow out as these experts discuss relevant and useful strategies that you can implement to create good vibes all around.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why business owners with “hippie” values reject traditional marketing - and what to do if that describes you.
  • How seemingly unrelated course assignments can help clients within the course content.
  • Ways to filter out potential clients who may not be a good fit.
  • How to structure group work to reiterate and solidify content.
  • How to use the “hot seat” approach to benefit everyone in the group.
  • Creating structures for peer support within your course. 
  • Practical ways to ensure guaranteed relevance of content for different groups. 
  • Why credentialism is often overrated. 
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.


“So now that’s what I teach - how to market your business in a way that not only works and is effective but also feels genuinely good to everybody involved.”


– Tad Hargrave



Guest Bio:
Tad Hargrave is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippy again).

     He spent his late teens being schooled in a mixed bag of approaches to sales and marketing – some manipulative and some not. When that career ended, he spent a decade unlearning and unpacking what he’d been through.

     How had he been swept up in it? Why didn’t those approaches work as well as advertised? Were there ways of marketing that both worked better and felt better to all involved? It took him time but he began to find a better way to market.

     By 2006, he had become one of the first, full-time ‘conscious business’ marketing coaches (for hippies) and created a business where he could share the understanding he had come to: Marketing could feel good. You didn’t have to choose between marketing that worked (but

felt awful) or marketing that felt good (but got you no clients).

     Since 2001, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, the United States, Europe, and online, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls). Instead of charging outrageous amounts, he started doing most of his events on a pay what you can basis. He is the author of sixteen books and workbooks on marketing.

Jeff Perry is the founder of More Than Engineering, a company that helps purpose-driven engineers and tech professionals make intentional career transitions that facilitate growth and development in their professional and personal lives.

It’s important to meet clients where they are without judgement and without being afraid to guide them out of their comfort zone when doing so can lead to growth and future success. In this episode of Course Lab, Danny, Abe and Jeff discuss leveling up your course and your clients’ results with any necessary changes in thoughts and mindset followed by inspired action.


In this episode we discuss:

  • Avoiding stereotypes when developing solutions for your clients.
  • Variable support options to supplement your course and income.
  • Pricing examples.
  • The importance of mindset to personal growth and professional success.
  • Combining awareness with assessment.
  • Getting client feedback to develop next-step options for continuing development.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.


“ If we can break down those stereotypes and say, you know, I don't have to necessarily own that myself, if that's not how I want to be.”

“If there's an issue we want to work on, we’ve got to start with the idea of awareness.”

– Jeff Perry

Ian Roberts has created a number of successful online courses using instructional methods developed over his many years of teaching in-person workshops. He starts off with what he calls “insanely simple” steps and gives students enough time to assimilate new skills, building confidence and momentum. Those ingredients, combined with super-focused subjects and deep interaction with students over the years significantly contribute to Ian’s high success in engagement and completion rates.

     This episode of Course Lab is densely packed with helpful information for course creators. Ian describes his creative solutions for growing sales while reducing his own personal involvement and preserving the quality of his courses. In the post-interview debrief, Danny and Abe dive deep into deconstructing the various elements of Ian’s courses that make them so successful.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The importance of having a strong foundation in what you’re teaching.
  • The benefit of narrowly focused topics.
  • Ways to scale up sales and scale back your time commitment.
  • How small wins keep students engaged.
  • Types of courses that create a long-term impact.
  • How peer feedback can be a powerful learning tool when guided by the instructor.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief.

“If you want to learn to juggle, you don’t start off with eight bowling pins…you learn to throw a ball so that you’re not looking at it, and it lands in your hands.” – Ian Roberts



Guest Bio:

Ian Robert’s father was a landscape painter. Ian accompanied his father on painting trips from the time he was ten years old, painting small 8”X10” oil paintings. Later, Ian attended the New School of Art and the Ontario College of Art, both in Toronto. For the past 35 years, Ian has been a professional painter, showing in the U.S., Canada and Europe. For 25 years, Ian has offered plein air painting workshops in Provence, France and venues in the U.S. and Canada through his school, Atelier Saint-Luc, named after the patron saint of painters.
     
     He is the author of two books, Creative Authenticity: 16 Principles to Clarify and Deepen Your Artistic Vision and Mastering Composition: Techniques and Principles to Dramatically Improve Your Painting, published by North Light books, and which have sold over 50,000 copies worldwide. He has produced several videos, including Plein Air Painting, shot in Provence, France and Mastering  Composition. Two years ago, Ian began teaching online courses on Mastering Composition and began a weekly YouTube series that currently has over 60,000 subscribers. He shows at the Marcia Burtt Gallery in Santa Barbara, California, and the Wiscasset Bay Gallery in Wiscasset, Maine. Ian lives in West LA with painter Anne Ward.

How do you create an online course about DNA and genealogy and make it interesting and understandable to people? First, you become an expert in the field and start your own DNA education company. You work with DNA tests that people have taken and use the results to help them better understand their family history. And when a pandemic hits, you pivot your knowledge of genetics into something that is accessible online.

     In this episode, hosts Danny Iny and Abe Crystal take a closer look at the course “Your DNA Guide.”  The course creator, Diahan Southard, is a microbiologist with a gift for making complex DNA concepts engaging and understandable. 

     Diahan started volunteering in a college lab that created the first genetic genealogy database. That database laid the foundation for the industry of genetic genealogy that we know today.

In this episode we discuss:


  • How the little project she worked on birthed a billion-dollar industry. 
  • How the pandemic left Diahan sitting on 1000s of books but led her online. 
  • The bite-sized course content, which has 10-to-12 minute instructional videos, homework, and research. 
  • How the students use the interactive step-by-step workbook to help them apply their research.  
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview 

“So the pilot really helped me refine what was necessary for them to learn at this stage. And the great thing is I've taken all the extra and I'm going to make a second course.” – Diahan Southard

Guest Bio:
Diahan Southard is a leading voice for consumer DNA testing, one of the world's most fascinating, dynamic and socially-transformative new hobbies. Nearly 30 million people have taken a DNA test. The numbers keep rising and so do the uses of their data—and questions about that use. As Founder of Your DNA Guide Diahan teaches internationally, writes for popular magazines, consults with leading testing companies, is the author of Your DNA Guide – the Book, and producer of Your DNA Guide – the Academy, an online learning experience. Southard's company, Your DNA Guide (YourDNAGuide.com), provides genetic genealogy education products and services. You will walk away from an interaction with her enlightened and motivated, as she has a passion for genetic genealogy, a genuine love for people, and a gift for making the technical understandable.

 

Diahan’s involvement in genetic genealogy began nearly 20 years ago as a bench scientist for the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, the world's first genetic genealogy database. Diahan often weighs in on the compelling—and sometimes competing—ethical, familial, health, and criminal justice implications of consumer DNA testing. She voices the conviction that learning ancestral ethnicity can unite people rather than divide them. She counsels those who learn family secrets to tread carefully but courageously. Diahan seeks to bridge the needs of those who want answers from DNA with those who want privacy. The stories she shares illuminate the human experience of navigating the histories hidden deep within the genomes of individuals, families and societies.

[00:00:00] Signature sound:  Mirasee. 


[00:00:06] Diahan Southard: And so when you think of genetic genealogy databases today, you might be familiar with 23-and-me or Ancestry DNA or MyHeritage. All of that started with this little college project that I was a part of that really exploded into the industry we know today. Yeah. 


Danny Iny: Hello and welcome to Course Lab. The show that teaches course creators like you how to make better online courses.

 Creating a successful course requires attention to market demand, but how do you know what that demand is, and how can you provide solutions within a client’s comfort zone? Sometimes the missing piece is a little outside of where you are looking. Mary Williams, founder of Sensible Woo, discovered opportunities to use what did resonate with clients in an effort to help them with challenges outside their comfort zone. 


     In this episode, Mary, Danny and Abe discuss looking past the obvious issue and digging into why your clients are facing the challenges they are facing. Mary describes how she engineered a framework for her course that helped her clients overcome challenges they could not clearly see by incorporating familiar and comfortable skills and concepts. 


• In this episode we discuss:

  • Being aware of the issues behind your clients’ challenges
  • Combining strategies within your course to deliver solutions
  • Using marketing structures that encourage commitment from clients
  • Valuing your services appropriately
  • Digging even deeper with Danny and Abe’s post-interview debrief.

“I think [clients] really need a bridge that they can understand.” 


“Teaching [clients] those flexibility and resilience skills is, I think, part of the process too, and they don't really realize that's what they're doing.” 

– Mary Williams

Guest Bio:

Mary is the Chief Technology Therapist at Sensible Woo, where she teaches highly sensitive & neurodivergent online business owners how to replace technological chaos with a harmonious system.

You listen to Course Lab because you want to learn how to make online courses that are more impactful for your students and successful for you.

     Danny Iny and Abe Crystal appreciate the opportunity to really dive into the design of a course to help you take away what’s most relevant for your own courses. That’s why they thought you might be interested in a brand-new show that just joined the Mirasee FM Podcast Network. It's called Once Upon a Business, and it’s hosted by their good friend and colleague, Lisa Bloom, the Story Coach.
     
     In Once Upon a Business, Lisa reaches into a fairy, folk, or traditional tale and pulls out the business and growth lessons that you can apply to your own course business. To give you a taste of the show, they’re running an episode from that podcast right here in your feed. Abe chose this particular episode because the tailor in the story creates something beautiful, hits a wall, but then iterates and keeps going. Sound familiar? Keep listening, and you'll hear exactly what this new show is all about.


So, come now. Gather around the fire. Lisa’s about to begin….

“I think it's an incredibly important skill for an entrepreneur, for anybody running a business, to be able to know that creating something out of nothing is always possible.” – Lisa Bloom


Lisa Bloom is a storyteller, author and coach who's passionate about the art and business of storytelling. She runs a business called ‘Story Coach’ and helps entrepreneurs, business owners & leaders attract & impact ideal clients and grow their business.

     After traveling the world and working a variety of jobs, Lisa settled down and created her business: story coaching, developing transformational story leaders & delivering global conference keynotes and workshops. She is also the Director of Mirasee’s ACES Business Acceleration Program. There's nothing Lisa loves more than to spend time with her partner & their four sons, walk her dog, travel, read and share stories!

Mel Stanley, founder of FirstWoman.rocks, knew that she had to pivot really quickly when her revenue streams dried up due to the pandemic. When she stopped panicking, she successfully created her virtual coaching practice. 

     Mel is the creator of the course, Brand for Success, which is designed to create meaningful transformation for her clients, who are exclusively women. In her course and coaching practice, she aims a hammer at the glass ceiling. Not only that, but the hammer is aimed at the concept of “online courses” itself. Listen in as Abe and Danny coin a new term.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • How using free 20-minute speed coaching sessions is a wonderful tool to create course content—and fill your pilot. 
  • Using polls on LinkedIn to distill what problems women have stepping up into leadership positions. 
  • Using coaching as an approach to help students get results.
  • What a playbook is and how Mel uses it in her course. 
  • A new term for online courses!
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief after the interview.


“I thought I was doing everybody a favor by making it shorter. In fact, what they wanted was longer so they could have more chats.” 

– Mel Stanley


Guest Bio: Mel Stanley is a Personal Branding and Marketing Strategist, CMO, and Board Director and the founder of FirstWoman, a consulting and coaching firm helping ambitious, professional women and Founders achieve success and recognition. She works exclusively with aspiring women who want to be successful on their terms without compromising who they are or their values and principles.  

     “There’s always a woman before you who was the first to achieve something. You can be ‘a first,’ too. Nothing is unreachable,” says Mel. She’s a firm believer that women have all the necessary talent, but sometimes lack the clarity, confidence, and visibility required to compete effectively, to stand out from the crowd and become instantly recognizable in a way that articulates their unique strengths and qualities. 

     She feels that the world needs more senior females, especially, to be around the Board table when decisions are being made that impact women--especially decisions concerning issues such as equal opportunity, the pay gap, flexible working options, and maternity leave.

Sharon Richmond, founder of Leading Large and creator of the course Candid Conversation, isn’t locked into a specific mental model of what a course should be, how to start designing it, or how to implement a course. She has an interesting approach that all course creators should start with – identify the hard and meaningful problem first.

• In this episode we discuss:

  • Sharon describes what brought her to create a B2B course for a larger group of leaders.
  • The very focused feedback to participants throughout three synchronous sessions.

  • Danny and Abe’s debrief after the interview.

When Trevor Page, founder of Crafty Codr Inc. and course creator at Coders Campus, discovered he had a knack for teaching, he decided to venture into entrepreneurship, leaving his coding job. He founded his company and launched the website, Coders Campus, where he offers the free 4-week course, The Java Beginner’s Course, as a prerequisite for his main course, Full Stack Java Bootcamp. In this episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe discuss Trevor’s courses, his bold business model, and his intention to engage every one of his students. 


In this episode we discuss:

  • Trevor’s use of avatars to describe the students of Coders Campus.
  • The very intense and hands-on, immersive six-month Java Bootcamp experience.
  • Trevor’s biggest problem—the approximately 20% of students who struggle in the course—and ideas on how to fix it. 
  • How his passion for coding and his podcast allow him to compete with much bigger players.
  • His income share agreement, which he and students love.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief after the interview.

“When I'm talking about the boot camp, or when I'm talking about code in general, to a student or a group of students, my love for coding comes through, and they pick up on that very quickly.”  


“The goal of the Bootcamp is to get them a job as a coder. So our values and our goals together are very much in alignment. If I can't do it, if I can't get them a job, I don't get paid. So students love it. And I love it too.” – Trevor Page


Guest bio: Trevor Page is the director and content creator for Coders Campus, a digital giant which teaches every level of the programming language, Java. He’s the founder of Crafty Codr Inc. and author of the How to Program with Java ebook, a Java expert, podcaster, blogger, teacher, and entrepreneur.


     Programming is a passion of his, and he absolutely loves to teach others this skill set. He’s an expert in turning complicated Java programming talk into easy-to-follow English and bite-sized tutorials. After receiving his bachelor's degree in computer science and working his way up the ranks to the title of Senior Software Engineer, he decided to make a shift in his career path and become a teacher in 2012. In the time since he has developed a following of people who are just as passionate about his teaching methods as he is about creating courses.


     The Java Beginner’s Course is his free, 4-week prerequisite for his main course, the Full Stack Java Bootcamp, which:

  • teaches everything you need to know to enter junior developer roles in the workforce.
  • provides career preparation, portfolio development, and help with resumes and the interview process.
  • guarantees a job offer within 6 months of graduating from the Bootcamp.

To Abe Crystal, CEO of the online course platform Ruzuku, books are written to be read.  Trying to simply translate a book directly into a video course may wind up creating something that’s too long, too digressive. So what should you do instead? You need a fresh approach to how to fit courses into your business. Abe writes in-depth about how to implement such an approach in his newly published book, The Business of Courses.


     In this special episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe discuss Abe’s book, what business owners should think about when creating courses today, and what the coming years may look like for the online course industry.


In this episode we discuss:


  •  Abe’s reasons for writing the book, The Business of Courses.
  • How course creators should think about courses.
  • Powerful  strategies you can use to help potential clients discover you and your course.
  • Why turning a book with great content and relevant information into a video course is usually a big mistake, and what to do instead. 
  • The 5 phases of the customer learning journey.
  • What’s coming in the next 3, 6, 12 months for the online course industry.

“Over the past year, we've seen a wave of prominent thought leaders, as well as new startups, really highlighting the value of intensive group learning.” – Abe Crystal



Guest bio:  Abe Crystal is the CEO and co-founder of Ruzuku, an online course platform focused on student engagement. He’s also a strategic advisor to Mirasee. 


     Abe helps authors, coaches, speakers, and other independent experts create their own online courses and learning communities. He and his team at Ruzuku are on a mission to usher in a new wave of independent, authentic teachers around the world and invest them with the tools and support to succeed—everything the clients need to create, sell, and teach amazing courses.

     Abe is also the author of The Business of Courses, about the process of adding online courses to your business’s product and services offerings.

Episode summary: All the Necessary Elements for Transformation (Melinda Cohan) Most coaches don't like running a business, so Melinda Cohan, co-founder of Coaches Console, created a technology platform to help coaches do so, combining it with unparalleled coaching and training, so new and new-ish coaches can leverage their time and effort easily. 


In the wildly successful 12-week online course, The Coaching Business System, Melinda helps entrepreneurs avoid overwhelm through carefully mapped out milestones, experiences and action items. The course is a mixture of content and interaction with coaches and the community of fellow students. Plus it comes with a rare guarantee policy that promises results.


In this episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe discuss Melinda’s course, her very long track record of expertise before she came to the world of online courses, how she leverages synergistic skills, and why you might want to hire from your own community. 


In this episode we discuss:

  • How Melinda  changed her business model from one-on-one to one-to-many.
  • The seven success systems every business needs to have in place, and what made her decide on such a broad scope in her course.
  • The biggest areas where students get stuck. 
  • Where the coaching part of the course is really impactful.
  • How the unique guarantee policy promises results. 
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief after the interview.


“It doesn't matter how much content you give somebody at home, it matters how much they consume, and how much they implement.” 


“Isolation is the number one enemy to success.“ – Melinda Cohan


Melinda Cohan


Guest bio: Melinda Cohan is CEO of The Coaches Console, a seven-figure software, training, and coaching company that has helped more than fifty thousand coaches create profitable and thriving businesses. She is a systems expert helping coaches get over the tedious task of running their businesses so they can focus on what they love - the actual coaching of amazing clients.


Fifty-six percent of coaches fail. Why? They don’t know how to efficiently run a profitable business. Without iron-clad systems, they’re hard-pressed to leverage their time, serve more clients, and grow their businesses and profits.

 
The Coaches Console is one cohesive platform. Melinda and her team blend coaching with training to help you create a clear and realistic path to sustainable results. Her desire is to expand The Coaches Console tool into other professions.


She’s also the author of the new book, The Confident Coach, where shares her insider's view of the coaching industry.


The Coaching Business System is a 12-week, evergreen course with a mixture of content and interaction:

  • The course comes with a stack of freebies.
  • The course starts students at ground zero and takes them through the groundwork of setting up their business systems.
  • Each module is large. Some of the topics covered include “Branding,” “Support & Referring,” and “Leveraging your Content, Time, and Money.”
  • The course comes with a 6-month membership to The Coaches Console.

Episode summary: How Students’ Lived Experiences Lead to Innovative Course Design (Sara Eisenberg):


The feeling of a broken world and Sara Eisenberg’s own experience as an activist were drivers in the creation of her four-week online course, Radical Inclusion Immersion, which helps attendees deconstruct their biases. The course teaches simple practices that deepen curiosity, empathy, and visceral understanding of belonging and exclusion and invites a natural shift to more inclusionary behaviors.


In this episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe discuss Sara’s course and explore how she uses students’ lived memories and experiences to create an in-depth and innovative curriculum. She shares how the pandemic helped her understand that Zoom meetings with the participants created a more intimate environment in which to be vulnerable and safe to share experiences.


 In this episode we discuss:

  • The approach of “radical inclusion.” 
  • How the students sharing their experiences and perspectives builds the course’s innovative structure.
  • How to enroll people into a course with sensitive topics such as racial and gender equality.

Guest bio:



Sara Eisenberg is a healer, herbalist, activist, elder, and the founder of  A Life of Practice, her online home, where she integrates her work in Nondual Kabbalistic Healing, Herbal Medicine, and Radical Inclusion with A Life of Practice©.  Sara brings over 35 years of experience as a teacher, facilitator, and healer in academic and community settings to her work. 


Sara teaches CEOs, professionals, activists, and seekers committed to race and gender justice, guiding them to naturally shift to more inclusionary behaviors by engaging them in simple practices that deepen their curiosity, empathy, and visceral understanding of belonging, exclusion, and agency.


In Radical Inclusion Practice©, she partners race and gender justice beginners with seasoned practitioners in a variety of settings: one on one, small group settings by contractual agreement, and in online learning settings where course size is limited to optimize transformational learning.


In spite of her years as a community organizer, nonprofit CEO, and large-systems change agent, Sara was also trying to solve her own pain over the constant harms caused by a broken world. 


Radical Inclusion Practice© is the fruit of her desire to make this path available to others.


Now she offers a 4-week beta course, Radical Inclusion Immersion,  a protected space for professionals, seekers, and activists who:

  • are committed to racial and gender justice
  • wrestle with being part of the problem they want to solve
  • are ready to look within and work with their own stories and lived experiences

Episode summary: How Students’ Lived Experiences Lead to Innovative Course Design (Sara Eisenberg):


The feeling of a broken world and Sara Eisenberg’s own experience as an activist were drivers in the creation of her four-week online course, Radical Inclusion Immersion, which helps attendees deconstruct their biases. The course teaches simple practices that deepen curiosity, empathy, and visceral understanding of belonging and exclusion and invites a natural shift to more inclusionary behaviors.


In this episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe discuss Sara’s course and explore how she uses students’ lived memories and experiences to create an in-depth and innovative curriculum. She shares how the pandemic helped her understand that Zoom meetings with the participants created a more intimate environment in which to be vulnerable and safe to share experiences.


 In this episode we discuss:

  • The approach of “radical inclusion.” 
  • How the students sharing their experiences and perspectives builds the course’s innovative structure.
  • How to enroll people into a course with sensitive topics such as racial and gender equality.
  • How Sara creates a safe and intimate environment in the group’s Zoom calls.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief after the interview.

“Now I'm closing the loop, bringing the consciousness practices from my healing path back into the work of the  divisive issues of race and gender. Because we haven't made a lot of progress using the tools that we have. ”  


“In some cases, I'm writing the curriculum as we go based on how the students’ material interacts with one another.” – Sara Eisenberg

But Sara’s course, Radical Inclusion Immersion, creates an in-depth curriculum based upon students’ lived memories and experiences, leading to transformation and empathy. In this episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe talk to Sara Eisenberg about her course and its innovative course design. It can be hard to talk about racial and gender equality. But Sara’s course, Radical Inclusion Immersion, creates an in-depth curriculum based upon students’ lived memories and experiences, leading to transformation and empathy.

Conventional wisdom might say that Jackie’s experiential course material must be taught at an in-person retreat, but Jackie has developed a method that enables her to bring that material to a group online. This method forms the basis of her six-week online course “Purpose, Values & Vision,” in which Jackie helps clients to channel the passion, energy, and drive that comes from living a purpose-driven life.


In this episode of Course Lab, Danny and Abe discuss Jackie’s course and explore how she successfully leverages interactive group coaching in order to help clients develop concrete and impactful purpose statements. Jackie explains how she discovered that group coaching is far more empowering than individual coaching and how she utilizes laser-focused sessions and guided visualization to help clients tap into their vision, passion, and purpose.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to ensure that the roadmap for her course ”Purpose, Values & Vision” will be successful at the end. 
  • Why challenging limiting beliefs in the first session is an important step in the course.
  • How she found out that group coaching was MORE impactful than one-on-one coaching, and in what way.
  • How letting the students write down their purpose statements and go through guided visualizations help them tap more strongly into their vision, passion, and purpose.
  • Danny and Abe’s debrief after the interview

“The feeling capacity of people is really the way to get and to stay on the purpose path. Thinking is overrated. Sensing is much more powerful.”  – Jackie Roberge





Jackie Roberge is a Leadership Coach and Facilitator at Business&Beyond. She is dedicated to helping clients experience the passion, energy, and drive that comes from living a purpose-driven life. Driven leaders work with her to move beyond corporate ambition and profits and get clear on their big, purposeful contributions. 


     Jackie used to work in the corporate world and found herself wondering... is this all there is? Marketing and strategic planning were not her end game. She wanted to contribute more, make a bigger impact, and feel more passion and fulfillment. So she pursued TM (Transcendental Meditation) and started meditating twice a day, which had an immediate impact on her health, stress level, and emotions.

 
     She later took a coaching program and discovered that her purpose involves helping others get clear on their purpose. Through her coaching, she noticed that most people don’t consciously reflect on the impact or contribution they want to make AND how to find the time and energy to focus on it. Leaders often get swept away by corporate objectives and agendas and they can lose sight of their own north star.


     Using the analogy of strategic planning in her leadership coaching, Jackie helps leaders develop a PERSONAL strategic or whole life plan in order to help them step fully into their most authentic and impactful roles in their work and personal lives. 

  1. Life vision - what you want your personal and professional life to be in 5 to 10 years
  2. Key values - that guide your decisions & align your priorities
  3. Purpose - the meaningful contribution you are here to make
  4. Goals and purposeful habits (like Key success factors) - to help you step fully into your most authentic and impactful roles at work, at home, and in your communities.

Episode summary: How do you create an exciting and dynamic online course that provides a laser-focused and streamlined online learning experience for your students? Rebecca Cuevas is the expert who will help you set up your course so that students can actually learn from it. And even better, she’ll show you a method for designing your course that's fast, easy, and fun!

 

     In this episode, our hosts Danny Iny and Abe Crystal will take a closer look at Rebecca's course “Streamline Your Course Creation,” which helps online course creators design transformative learning experiences. Rebecca is the recipient of multiple Federal scholarships for international study and brings a creative, multi-cultural perspective to her work. While pursuing her goal to light up the planet, one mind at a time, Rebecca perfected a method that makes course design simple, even for first-time course creators - and today she’s sharing all her top strategies with our listeners. 


In this episode we discuss:


  • How tripping over digital whiteboards gave Rebecca the idea of taking her face-to-face training to the online world.
  • Although she has diversified offerings, Rebecca’s wish for scalability led to the creation of a very guided practice-focused course --- an evergreen course. 
  • How digital flipbooks eliminate navigation challenges while keeping interactivity and engagement with the students.
  • Why do minimizing downloads help students to use the note-taking method of their preferred choice and enhance the learning experience?
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview

“The difference between a course and some other kind of digital product is that in order for it to work, people have to actually learn from it.” – Rebecca Cuevas

I came to this world of online courses from the world of offline courses And I've been an educator for my entire career. And around 2007 I started every classroom I went into, I was tripping over these digital whiteboards and I started thinking it would be great to take my effective face to face trainings and put them online. But when I tried that, I did what most people do as a first step, which is take something that works well in the offline space and digitize it and put it online. And I discovered that it just really didn't create the same level of engagement that I was expecting and that I want to provide.

Episode summary: How do you create an exciting and dynamic online course that provides a laser-focused and streamlined online learning experience for your students? Rebecca Cuevas is the expert who will help you set up your course so that students can actually learn from it. And even better, she’ll show you a method for designing your course that's fast, easy, and fun!

 

     In this episode, our hosts Danny Iny and Abe Crystal will take a closer look at Rebecca's course “Streamline Your Course Creation,” which helps online course creators design transformative learning experiences. Rebecca is the recipient of multiple Federal scholarships for international study and brings a creative, multi-cultural perspective to her work. While pursuing her goal to light up the planet, one mind at a time, Rebecca perfected a method that makes course design simple, even for first-time course creators - and today she’s sharing all her top strategies with our listeners. 


In this episode we discuss:


  • How tripping over digital whiteboards gave Rebecca the idea of taking her face-to-face training to the online world.
  • Although she has diversified offerings, Rebecca’s wish for scalability led to the creation of a very guided practice-focused course --- an evergreen course. 
  • How digital flipbooks eliminate navigation challenges while keeping interactivity and engagement with the students.
  • Why do minimizing downloads help students to use the note-taking method of their preferred choice and enhance the learning experience?
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview

  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview.

[00:00:00] : Mirasee.

see the biggest challenge, I think for a lot of course creators and certainly the one that I've had is people will often find ways not to do things. It's really easy to kind of get excited about going through the material and then not do the hard stuff of putting into practice. Hello and welcome to course lab, the show that teaches course creators like you how to make better online courses. I'm a crystal co founder of resume, a course platform and I'm here with my co host, Danny B, the founder and Ceo of Mercy. In each episode we showcase of course and course creator who's doing something really interesting with their course And our guest today is Mark Morally Fleischer. Mark is a jazz guitarist who spent performing for more than 30 years. He teaches the psychology of performance to musicians. Mark, welcome to Corsica. Thanks jake. Great to be here. So mark, can you give us the 30,000 ft view of yourself, your background in teaching and how you came to this world of online courses. And then tell us a little bit about the specific course that you've been developing for musicians and how that's been going. Sure I've been a musician for, as you say, for for a long time performing all sorts of different things, but very much on the side. I'm a scientist by training. I had an office job for a long time and love to get out and play gigs in the evening. And I would find that I got very frustrated by not being able to play as well actually in performance as I could in practice. And I just assumed that this was the way it was. And I stumbled my way through that for decades or more of kind of just beating my head against a brick wall and making things better. And I found myself after I quit the office job, wondering what to do, going on a tennis course of all things, which looked at using performance psychology. So sports psychology techniques to, to improve your tennis playing. And I could not believe the impact that it had in just a three day course on how much my actual playing improved. But more importantly, in many ways, how much I actually started enjoying playing tennis much more rather than getting frustrated. So I thought there's got to be something here that I can do in music. Why didn't I know about this before I went around to look for where I could get that training in music and I just couldn't find anything that fitted the bill. So that started me off research and yet trying things out, bring things over from tennis, drawing on my experience, getting something that worked. And it made such a big difference. I thought, well I've got to see if I can help some other people with this. Just started teaching something reasonably informally to see where it went. And again, the results were better than I expected to the point where I thought, well I've got to try and make something of this and that's how I got into the online world. It was not a desire to teach online, rather it was having something to teach and discovering that it was just much more practical to do it and I could help a lot more people online. I mean, it sounds like a challenging topic in some ways to get musicians to think and perform differently. What were some of the challenges you e...

[00:00:00] : Mirasee. 

See when you're kind of touching base a little bit every day, the client feels really, really held and there's a high level of accountability, but the time spent by the nutritionist is minimal. Yeah. Hello and welcome to course Lab. The show. The teachers, course creators like you how to make better online courses. I'm Danny any the founder and Ceo here at morrissey and I'm here with my co host, Abe Crystal, the co founder of Results. You in each episode of this show, we really showcase a course and course creator who is doing something really interesting with their course. Our guest today is Jill Cruz Jill is a board certified nutrition specialist. She coaches women to lose weight in a sustainable and enjoyable way without feeling deprived. Jill, Welcome to course, lap Hi Danny, Thank you so much for having me so Jill. You and I have known each other for a very long time, but for the benefit of everyone who hasn't had that pleasure, who are you? What do you do? How did you come to be doing it? Give us the whole story. Okay, so right now, I am a nutritionist, a board certified nutritionist and I work with women over 40 who are looking to lose weight, they're sick of yo yo dieting and they're looking for a sustainable, healthy, dare I say, even pleasurable way to continue on their weight loss journey. So, my background is I worked for about eight years as a functional medicine nutritionist in a very interesting practice where we had a lot of very complex cases. The thing is that I actually went to nutrition school to help what I really wanted to do was help people lose weight. And somehow I found myself working in a practice helping people who had Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and a lot of really complicated neurological conditions, it wasn't really what I wanted to do, but I was learning a lot. And the thing was that I myself had an issue with eating. I actually had a 15 year long nighttime eating addiction. So throughout those years that I was working with people with chronic illness, I felt like it was disingenuous for me to start to go out and try to help people lose weight when I myself had this nighttime eating habit. So, uh as the years went on and I learned all of these wonderful things, I figured out how to get rid of my own eating habit, the bad eating disorder, then I was finally able to kind of branch out away from this functional medicine practice and into my own practice. I guess the whole point was that I had to feel comfortable being able to help people with their nighttime or daytime eating habits. I had to feel comfortable with it myself first. And the course was really what broke the ground for me in that I was the whole course, It was called food boss actually, and it was all about how to build new habits and break those cravings and all of the stuff that I had to do for myself. And has the course been exactly the same since the very beginning, when you imagined it in 2018? Or has it evolved over the last several years? It has definitely evolved. The great thing was that I was successful with that first iteration, my pilot, which was an eight week course where I would meet weekly with the group and you know, we would meet as a group and they would have homework and there was no one on one interaction, it was all ...

I'm Danny any the founder and Ceo here at morrissey and I'm here with my co host, Abe Crystal, the co founder of Results. You in each episode of this show, we really showcase a course and course creator who is doing something really interesting with their course. Our guest today is Jill Cruz Jill is a board certified nutrition specialist. She coaches women to lose weight in a sustainable and enjoyable way without feeling deprived. Jill, Welcome to course, lap Hi Danny, Thank you so much for having me so Jill. You and I have known each other for a very long time, but for the benefit of everyone who hasn't had that pleasure, who are you? What do you do? How did you come to be doing it? Give us the whole story. Okay, so right now, I am a nutritionist, a board certified nutritionist and I work with women over 40 who are looking to lose weight, they're sick of yo yo dieting and they're looking for a sustainable, healthy, dare I say, even pleasurable way to continue on their weight loss journey. So, my background is I worked for about eight years as a functional medicine nutritionist in a very interesting practice where we had a lot of very complex cases. The thing is that I actually went to nutrition school to help what I really wanted to do was help people lose weight. And somehow I found myself working in a practice helping people who had Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and a lot of really complicated neurological conditions, it wasn't really what I wanted to do, but I was learning a lot. And the thing was that I myself had an issue with eating. I actually had a 15 year long nighttime eating addiction. So throughout those years that I was working with people with chronic illness, I felt like it was disingenuous for me to start to go out and try to help people lose weight when I myself had this nighttime eating habit. So, uh as the years went on and I learned all of these wonderful things, I figured out how to get rid of my own eating habit, the bad eating disorder, then I was finally able to kind of branch out away from this functional medicine practice and into my own practice. I guess the whole point was that I had to feel comfortable being able to help people with their nighttime or daytime eating habits. I had to feel comfortable with it myself first. And the course was really what broke the ground for me in that I was the whole course, It was called food boss actually, and it was all about how to build new habits and break those cravings and all of the stuff that I had to do for myself. And has the course been exactly the same since the very beginning, when you imagined it in 2018? Or has it evolved over the last several years? It has definitely evolved. The great thing was that I was successful with that first iteration, my pilot, which was an eight week course where I would meet weekly with the group and you know, we would meet as a group and they would have homework and there was no one on one interaction, it was all ...

Episode summary: Dr. G is the go-to media expert on creating resilience in your community, your team, even your own family. And she’s bringing her expertise to Course Lab. 


Dr. G’s online course, “Change the Behavior in You” teaches the path of change, without dictating the particular behavior you must work on. That way, you learn the structure and strategies to make this change happen, plus how to make any other changes you'll ever want in your own behavior! 

This is powerful for the student, but even more so for listeners of Course Lab, who’ll find many tips and strategies for creating meaningful change for their own students.

In this episode we discuss:

  • You know yourself better than any physician. 
  • The neuroscience of change. 
  • The importance and intricacies of knowledge translation. 
  • What don't course creators know about their audience that their audience knows?  
  • Resilience is the ability to navigate change and come through it.
  • Why her course’s title doesn’t have the word “resilience” in it. 
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview


“Because we all think that we're kind of a closed perfect circuit. And, obviously, we're not. We're leaking information all the time.” – Dr. G

Episode transcript: Develop Resilience to Change ANY Behavior (ft. Dr. G):


[00:00:01] Danny: Mirasee

 

[00:00:04] Dr. G: this is what any course creator can do happen to the expertise of your audience and help them see how to leverage what they already know to get through the obstacle or over the speed bump to the next step.

 

[00:00:17] Danny: Hello and welcome to course Lab, the show that teaches course creators like you how to make better online courses. I'm Danny Iny the founder of Mirasee an Education Company, and I'm here with my co-host, Abe Crystal, the co founder of Ruzuku. In each episode, we're going to showcase a course and course creator who is doing something really interesting with their course. Our guest today is Dr. G.

 Dr. G welcome to Course Lab.

 

[00:00:45] Dr. G: Thank you so much. Danny and it is really, really wonderful to be here. So I'm really excited

 

[00:00:50] Danny: To hear about first of all your story um how did you come to be doing what you're doing? And then I also want to hear about the leap from that to online courses specifically, but 30,000 ft, how did you come to be doing this?

 

[00:01:04] Dr. G: I'm a family doctor. I'm an MD. The kind of doctor that you would go to if your back hurt or your child needed their well visit, that kind of a family doc. And what I discovered after a few years of being an attending physician, meaning I finished all my training and I was at a health centre serving underserved populations, I discovered that as much ego as I had wrapped up in my diagnostic skills and my ability to ask questions and listen to the answers and give people great suggestions for a course of care and prescriptions, et cetera. That would help them. None of that was the best predictor of my patient's well being turned out. I kept observing over and over and over again that I could do my best job. And what it really depended on the outcomes really depended on was that person's resilience, how they pictured their life, and how they utilize the resources around them and what they thought was possible. And all this stuff that the more I read about it, the more I realized we put in this bucket of resilience. So I have never stopped practicing medicine. I'm still at that health center that serves underserved folks in my city. But I decided I had to figure this out. Resilience is this thing that we often in our society have a real fixed mindset around. Some people are resilient and some people aren't and that's just how it is. But I thought there had to be more to it than that. So I have spent the last nine years reading, writing, researching, speaking, and now leading thoughts about resilience and how we grow it.

Episode summary: How do you create an online course about DNA and genealogy and make it interesting and understandable to people? First, you become an expert in the field and start your own DNA education company. You work with DNA tests that people have taken and use the results to help them better understand their family history. And when a pandemic hits, you pivot your knowledge of genetics into something that is accessible online.


In this episode, our hosts Danny Iny and Abe Crystal will take a closer look at the course “Your DNA Guide”.  The course creator, Diahan Southard, is a microbiologist and the author of the book “Your DNA Guide”. She has a gift for making complex DNA concepts engaging and understandable. 

Diahan started volunteering in a college lab, and that project turned into the first genetic genealogy database. And that exploded into the industry of genetic genealogy we know today.
 

  

In this episode we discuss:


  • How the little project she worked on birthed a billion-dollar industry. 
  • How the pandemic left Diahan sitting on 1000s of books but led her online 
  • The bite-sized course content has 10 to 12 minutes instructional videos, homework, and research. 
  • How the students use the interactive step-by-step workbook to help them apply their research.  
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview 

“So the pilot really helped me refine what was necessary for them to learn at this stage. And the great thing is I've taken all the extra and I'm going to make a second course.” – Diahan Southard

Guest Bio:
Diahan Southard is a leading voice for consumer DNA testing, one of the world's most fascinating, dynamic and socially-transformative new hobbies. Nearly 30 million people have taken a DNA test. The numbers keep rising and so do the uses of their data--and questions about that use. As Founder of Your DNA Guide Diahan teaches internationally, writes for popular magazines, consults with leading testing companies, is the author if Your DNA Guide – the Book, and producer of Your DNA Guide – the Academy, an online learning experience. Southard's company, Your DNA Guide (YourDNAGuide.com), provides genetic genealogy education products and services. You will walk away from an interaction with her enlightened and motivated as she has a passion for genetic genealogy, a genuine love for people, and a gift for making the technical understandable.

 

Diahan’s involvement in genetic genealogy began nearly 20 years ago as a bench scientist for the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, the world's first genetic genealogy database. Diahan often weighs in on the compelling--and sometimes competing--ethical, familial, health, and criminal justice implications of consumer DNA testing. She voices the conviction that learning ancestral ethnicity can unite people rather than divide them. She counsels those who learn family secrets to tread carefully but courageously. Diahan seeks to bridge the needs of those who want answers from DNA with those who want privacy. The stories she shares illuminate the human experience of navigating the histories hidden deep within the genomes of individuals, families and societies.

Episode summary: These days, video game writers are taking something old - storytelling - and marrying it to something new - technology. In this way, writers are redefining what it means to tell a story in the 21st century, just as screenwriters did in the 20th century. Now more than ever, great games deserve great stories.

In this episode, hosts Danny Iny and Abe Crystal interview  Susan O’Connor, the creator of the multifaceted course “How to write for video games.”  Susan's been writing for many years and learned everything the hard way, which meant screwing up and mostly screwing up in public. Why should other writers have to go through this hard process, she asked herself? Why not go through a class? So, she created one that’s achieving “pinnacle results” for her students. 


In this episode we discuss:

  • “The digital campfire” model; creating a space for writers to build a community - they LOVE it. 
  • How she constructed the content of the course and its multifaceted structure.
  • How the TA (teacher assistant) strategy enabled Susan to scale. 
  • What she's charging for her course(s), and why she has class 1 and class 2.
  • How Susan is able to get her students jobs in the industry.
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview 

“I created a buddy system. I waited a couple of weeks until we'd had a chance to know each other. But I would partner people up so that they could have a go-to person to discuss that week's homework assignment. And then I changed up the buddies every week.” – Susan O’Connor



Guest Bio:

Susan’s first job as a game writer was for “a slumber party game - for girls!” She’s gone on to work on over 25 projects, including award-winning titles in the BioShock, Far Cry and Tomb Raider franchises. Titles in her portfolio have sold over 30 million copies and generated over $500 million in sales. She is an adjunct professor at UT Austin, where she teaches a course on writing for games. A long time ago, she founded the Game Narrative Summit at GDC. Now, she partners with studios, publishers, and writers to help teams ship great games with great stories. She is dedicated to supporting creatives in the games industry so that they can do their best work.

  •  [00:00:05] Susan O'Connor: I had to learn everything the hard way, which means screwing up and mostly screwing up in public, but I learned and it was great, you know?

Episode summary: These days, video game writers are taking something old - storytelling - and marrying it to something new - technology. In this way, writers are redefining what it means to tell a story in the 21st century, just as screenwriters did in the 20th century. Now more than ever, great games deserve great stories.

In this episode, hosts Danny Iny and Abe Crystal interview  Susan O’Connor, the creator of the multifaceted course “How to write for video games.”  Susan's been writing for many years and learned everything the hard way, which meant screwing up and mostly screwing up in public. Why should other writers have to go through this hard process, she asked herself? Why not go through a class? So, she created one that’s achieving “pinnacle results” for her students. 


In this episode we discuss:

  • “The digital campfire” model; creating a space for writers to build a community - they LOVE it. 
  • How she constructed the content of the course and its multifaceted structure.
  • How the TA (teacher assistant) strategy enabled Susan to scale. 
  • What she's charging for her course(s), and why she has class 1 and class 2.
  • How Susan is able to get her students jobs in the industry.
  • Danny’s and Abe’s debrief after the interview 

“I created a buddy system. I waited a couple of weeks until we'd had a chance to know each other. But I would partner people up so that they could have a go-to person to discuss that week's homework assignment. And then I changed up the buddies every week.” – Susan O’Connor



Guest Bio:

Susan’s first job as a game writer was for “a slumber party game - for girls!” She’s gone on to work on over 25 projects, including award-winning titles in the BioShock, Far Cry and Tomb Raider franchises. Titles in her portfolio have sold over 30 million copies and generated over $500 million in sales. She is an adjunct professor at UT Austin, where she teaches a course on writing for games. A long time ago, she founded the Game Narrative Summit at GDC. Now, she partners with studios, publishers, and writers to help teams ship great games with great stories. She is dedicated to supporting creatives in the games industry so that they can do their best work.
