LUYC 081: A Conversation with One of My Students, Ryan Clover-Owens

Hello everybody! Joining us today is Ryan Clover-Owens – librarian, web designer and course creator. Ryan is a student in my new group program, Finish Your Damn Course. This episode was super fun to create. Ryan and I chat about his online course vision, the mental roadblocks he encountered, and his results from the program. Education is the best way to get attention, to grow an audience, to make an impact. Episode Quotes "Online courses is what propels me into my own learning and it has totally transformed my life." "Doing services helps you define your process and get clear on who your course will be for." "I started thinking about my clients as my students." "Defining who the course is for opens up opportunities for you to create other products." "My big win was serving my audience… it is an honor to be part of what they are creating."
