087: How to Build an Online Course in 7 Days

Well folks, we are on the other side of the new year and I’m back with another podcast episode for you! This time around, Matt Giovanisci of Money Lab joined me to share his course creation process and more. His take on certain topics is a bit out of the box, and it was really cool to have the chance to chat with him. "Find your wheelhouse and know the material inside and out. Don’t script everything to a T, use bullet points, and be authentic." - Matt Giovanisci Not everyone’s course creation process is the same, but many of Matt’s tips could be great food for thought if you’re just getting started on your own online course journey.
