Thinking of creating your own online course? This podcast is for you! My guest today is Matt Ragland, also known as The Bullet Journal Guy. He's a YouTuber, writer, vlogger, productivity expert, and the Director of Creator Success at Podia, an online course platform made especially for freelancers, solopreneurs, and creators.
