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.

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."
