| One Mom's Journey from Corporate to Course Creator | 18 Jul 2022 | 01:07:18 | |
What you DO have: the desire, the expertise, and the drive. What you DON'T have: the time, the knowledge, or any idea where to start. ...Or do you? In this episode of The Dreamer's Lounge, join me and my guest, Profits + Prosecco podcast host Katie Ferro, to hear the story of how she made the leap from corporate life to building her thriving bookkeeping business to becoming a two-time course creator! Come along as we discuss building a business that honors the way you do life, how a busy mom of three successfully created a stream of passive income through course creation, and how to stop allowing doubt to hold you back from reaching your full potential as a business owner.

| Marriage & Entrepreneurship with Jason AKA Dreambro, My Husband | 02 May 2022 | 00:41:28 | |
Did you know I work with my husband? World, meet Jason, my former tree-trimmer/ optimization coach turned valuable member of the Dreampro team. Now some of you may be asking…how does that work exactly? Yes, I work and live with my husband…AND I still love him at the end of the day. We’re going to cover a lot of ground today and one of those topics is HOW the above is and stays true. We’ll cover:
We’re both proud of the business we’ve built, and part of the reason we’ve been so successful is because we’re great partners to each other both at work and at home. It’s not always easy, but when your spouse also becomes part of your dream team, there really is nothing like it.

| Good Courses Cite Sources, Because Stealing Intellectual Property is Gross | 18 Apr 2022 | 00:23:10 | |
For those of us who create, and especially for those of us who create through writing, there is probably no word more frightening than the P-word. Plagiarism. No thank you. As someone who helps curate courses for various small businesses, I have to be adaptable to all sorts of industries, some of which aren’t my area of expertise. While I’m never completing a course purely from scratch, I still have to build it with a working knowledge of the various topics. Enter, research, and the delicate dance of researching and citing and outright stealing. In this episode I talk more about:
It’s important that you shine through in your course, and that your unique personality and experiences color the program. You’re less an author and more a guide and the journey you’re taking your clients on is the point more so than the destination. Don’t shy away from research but don’t overpower your own story either.

| Remember Why You Started: To Give Them What They Need, Not What They Want | 11 Apr 2022 | 00:17:45 | |
If we’re not creating with our clients from a place of intentionality, then we need to reevaluate our strategy; content for content’s sake serves no one, and I’m not here to waste anyone’s time, especially my own. This means you can’t be afraid, to be honest with your clients, and you have to operate from a place of bravery and steadfast knowledge. In the latest episode of The Dreamer’s Lounge Podcast, I talk more about:
This all comes down to communication, and being able to sit in some potential temporary awkwardness with the ultimate goal of real, transformative change. Remember you’re not here to give them what they want; if they were able to sustain their business off of that they wouldn’t have sought you out at all. You’re here to evaluate everything, and give them what they NEED.

As a business owner, I’m constantly learning, growing, and evolving. I’ve been sitting on some feelings and thoughts for a while that I’ve been wanting to share about entrepreneurship. In this episode, I take some time to do just that.

The truth is that running a business is REALLY hard. But it’s also rewarding and exciting.

Many people tend to get really hung up on the technology piece of course creation, but you don’t have to! The truth is, this part of the process doesn’t have to be overwhelming and scary. To help you zero in on what you ACTUALLY need to get started, I recorded an episode about some of my favorite tools, software, and platforms. Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

| A Rant on Paid Versus Free Content | 21 Feb 2022 | 00:12:58 | |
The topic of paid content versus what should be free can be a tough line to straddle for some. I definitely have some thoughts on the topic, which is why I decided to dive into it on this episode. While I understand thinking that you want to put everything behind a paywall, I also think there are some specific reasons to provide your audience with free content, too. As you navigate these waters, it’s REALLY important to examine what you’re offering as part of your paid content to ensure you’re giving them the curated content that they’re yearning. Here’s what I talk about in this episode:
I hope this episode inspires you to think about your paid content and what you offer your audience for free to refine your perspective and content philosophy.

| What I Wish I Knew Before Creating My First Course | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:19:20 | |
Are you sitting on a course-creation goldmine?! If you have ever wanted to branch out in terms of your business pursuits, but have let fear and doubt hold you back, not only are you stifling your own creative process, you’re failing to help people to your fullest potential, and literally sitting on what could be a consistent stream of passive income. As exhilarating as course creation can be, it’s also a daunting process to take all your ideas - and entire process, really- and boil it down to basics that others can learn and implement. There are lots of things you learn after the fact, that are only available to figure out thanks to that old jerk, Hindsight. That’s why in this episode we’ll talk about:
If you have enjoyed this episode of the podcast, take a screenshot, head on over to Instagram and share your IG stories and tag me, @dreamprocourses. Whatever it is that’s holding you back, please let it go because people need to hear what you have to say. If you've ever struggled with doubt about where to start, or even if you should, just know that people need to hear what you have to say and they need to hear how you are going to say it. The way that you teach has the potential to change the course (sorry I had to) of someone’s life, and help them learn in a way that’s never before been available to them. If you feel called to creating a specific course, don’t ignore it and don’t hesitate because you’re afraid you might not be good enough- that’s a shitty reason to miss out on what could be a massive opportunity.

| How Peloton Uses Gamification Strategies to Engage & Transform Their Customers | 14 Feb 2022 | 00:25:19 | |
I’m sure that you’ve heard of Peloton - I mean, who hasn’t?! But, in this week’s episode, I’m talking about my own experience with the company. My FOMO finally overtook and pushed me to get my own bike. Let me tell you - it’s been a great experience so far, and I’ve learned A LOT! I want to share that knowledge with you here. This company has a cult-like following for a reason. I love tapping into the community they built not only as a part of getting fit but also to discover just how they’ve built something that people love so much and absolutely flock to. There are a lot of business lessons there, believe it or not! Here’s what I talk about in this episode:
I hope you enjoy this recap on my Peloton journey. I’m just getting started with the bike, and I have a feeling I’ll learn even more along the way, too.

| When to Use Pilot & Beta Strategies for Creating a Program | 07 Feb 2022 | 00:13:49 | |
Sometimes it can be super overwhelming to decide what types of strategies are right for the programs you’re developing! If you’ve ever felt that way - particularly around pilot and beta programs - then this is the episode for you! I have my own set of thoughts on pilot programs and beta tests, and I’m sharing them in this episode. These strategies can be great, but they are also only right in very specific instances. I want you to make sure you have a clear understanding of that for your own programs and businesses. Here’s what I go over in this episode:
I hope this episode debunks some of the common misconceptions about these strategies and makes it easier for you to understand when and if they’re right for you!

| How I Developed a Virtual Reality Experience for a Fortune 40 Company | 31 Jan 2022 | 00:26:10 | |
A sense of belonging is the usual cornerstone of anything my team and I create for any business, big or small. Building that for a company that’s nationally recognized and huge is no small task. That’s why doing this very thing for Lowes was one of the hardest, best things I’ve ever done in terms of my career. We were able to bridge the gap between departments in unique and groundbreaking ways. In this episode of the pod I talk about how our process:
It was such a defining moment in my career; It felt like anything was possible, hence why we included a virtual reality element. Because we could. And yeah, because it ultimately benefited the team they were training, but come on, it was a major “future is now” moment. It was a crazy ride and I’m so proud of what we did.

| How Instructional Design Is Different in This Industry Than Corporate | 17 Jan 2022 | 00:17:56 | |
Calling all small businesses! This is just to let you know how much I love you. Cause I love you, like, a lot. Sure, I started out working with large corporations, and we had some good times. But toward the end there, I just felt like a cog in a machine. I wasn’t seen or valued. And then you came around, and the rest was course creation history. There are so many differences in working with small and large organizations, but corporate just doesn’t hold a candle to the online business world! In this episode, I’m excited to share more about:
I could really go on all day. I love that there’s less red tape. I love that I just need one person to sign off, instead of 25 investors and the CEO’s mom. I love that smaller businesses have quicker time tables and turnarounds, and I love that for my part, the jobs are so varied and interesting. But most of all I love that in helping small businesses, I get to live my values and create with integrity. In conclusion, small business rules, corporations drool.

| Expanding Your Brand as a Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur with Madison Tinder | 10 Jan 2022 | 00:33:53 | |
Should you go for it? (Spoiler: YES). After all, where would we be without that people who brainstormed & paved the way for today’s virtual world? Sending texts with our collection of carrier pigeons? No thanks. So whatever idea it is you’re sitting on, you should definitely go for it without holding back. This week’s guest and multifaceted entrepreneur, Madison Tinder, agrees. She was in your shoes once, with one successful business in mind, but always thinking of other avenues for success. People doubted her, said she wouldn’t have time to do both, but she did. Through some rearranging and prioritizing disciplined usage of time, girlfriend is now a badass coach and scrunchie queen. Come for a listen as we talk:
You don’t have to do it all. Slow and steady progress is a sustainable way to grow and expand, and with a carefully assembled team behind you, your ability to meet more and more goals also grows. None of this has to be complicated; in fact quite the opposite. And you’ll discover that as you try, fail, and then try again. So don’t listen to the doubters, just listen to that idea in your head that won’t leave you alone, and the drive you’ve always had.

| 8 Secrets to Becoming a Better Educator This Year | 03 Jan 2022 | 00:26:58 | |
Welcome to the Dreamer’s Lounge Podcast! On today’s episode, we’re going to talk about some fundamentals of teaching. They say those who can’t do, teach. Well, I hate to break it to them, but if there is one thing that’s hard in this world, it’s teaching someone new things. Seriously. I’ve worked with clients across the map; those who know their stuff, but have yet to translate that into instruction, and those who have taught for a while but might need a refresher. Either way, all you really need is a solid grasp on your subject matter. In this episode we’ll go deeper into:
Implementing any of these tips could be a game changer in terms of the clients you draw in and the content you produce. They are comprehensive, practical, and value the real reason you’re in this business — to help others make their lives better. Your impact matters, so let's maximize it.

| Lessons of a Million-Dollar Agency: 2021 in Review | 27 Dec 2021 | 00:24:38 | |
Today I’m taking a look back on this year and breaking down what went well, what went wrong, and why a killer team is a rare and precious thing. Too often, small business owners feel like we have to do it all ourselves. Sure, we could delegate, but what if it isn’t perfect? I got news for you, it’s never perfect, even when YOU do it. In this episode we’ll talk more about:
I respect the grind. I know that your business will grow in proportion to the amount of work you put in. But sometimes it’s ok to let other people put in some work too. And it’s ok to slow down, rest, and maybe take your partner out to lunch. Appreciation for the process is just as important as hitting a goal, and learning to celebrate the attempts along the way will do wonders for your business, staff, and your perspective.

| How Changes in Education Will Affect the Online Business Industry | 04 Jul 2022 | 00:17:11 | |
Today’s post is all about the way I see the evolution of online education playing out.
