052: Steve Lungrin is a Fellow Piano Man

I’m back with a very special episode of The Online Course Guy podcast! This was a first for me: I had the chance to talk with a course creator who, like me, has an online piano course! Steve Lungrin joined me to chat about the many fascinating lessons he’s learned with his course, and I really enjoyed hearing from someone in the same online space as me. "It’s less about making sales, and more about finding the right customers." -Steve Lungrin Steve was super-transparent about his journey both with the piano as an instrument and his course creation process.
