271: Designing the Perfect Program for YOU (Featuring Mike Pacchione)

Author: Jacques Hopkins November 20, 2025 Duration: 1:03:44

Ever feel like you're building a course based on what everyone else is doing instead of what actually fits your life and your students' needs? In this episode, I chat with speech coach Mike Pacchione—who’s worked with the likes of Amy Porterfield and Donald Miller—about how he’s built a high-impact, low-complexity program that prioritizes feedback and alignment over scale. We explore what it looks like to run a hybrid course, why he doesn't offer a standalone version, and how to design offers around what actually works for you.
