Thinking Like a Course Entrepreneur with Thinkific's Greg Smith

As co-founder and CEO of Thinkific, Greg has worked to build a platform to “empower modern course creators” by making it easy for them to create, market, and sell online courses. This allows people to focus on what’s really important - their learning business - not the tools and technology behind it. With over a decade of experience as a course and platform entrepreneur, Greg knows what it takes to both lead and succeed in the world of online learning. In this episode of the Leading Learning podcast, Jeff Cobb talks with Greg about his experience launching and growing Thinkific, practical advice for how to create and sell online courses, and what he sees as the biggest opportunities in the future of online learning.
