In this episode, I sit down with Catrina Mitchum to unpack why so many online courses are all hype and no help. We get fired up about everything from refund runarounds to overpriced video vaults, and why just spewing content at people doesn't mean they're going to learn anything (or come back for more).
We cover:
-
What actually makes a course good.
-
Why many course creators unknowingly mimic bad teaching.
-
The dark side of "bonus bloat" and fake value stacking.
-
Why most "how to build a course" courses are đź’©.
-
How to design a learning journey with real outcomes.
-
Tips for beta-testing without burning yourself ou.t
-
And why it's always okay to say no to making a workbook!
Whether you've bought a dud or you're dreaming of building a course that actually changes lives, this episode is for you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
