082: Gina Horkey On Why the Customer Isn’t Always Right

Buckle up for another episode of The Online Course Guy – this time covering some topics that I’ve never discussed on my podcast before. Gina Horkey joined me recently for a fascinating discussion on the ups and downs of running an online course business. As a successful course creator, Gina has a wealth of ideas and perspective that is super-relevant to this industry

"It’s not all about being the seller [or] all about being the buyer. It’s a relationship."
