Your Instructors


After making $1M reaching over 100,000 students with our online courses since April this year, we decided to partner with the online course-hosting tool Fedora, to develop a comprehensive course to how anyone can start from ground zero, which is where we began, to profit from their own online course.


Fedora works with independent instructors and companies to help teach or sell courses from their own website. Fedora is the all-in-one solution which hosts multimedia content, handles payments and analytics while allowing instructors complete control over their content, student information and design. Founded just over a year ago, Fedora already powers some of the world's leading online schools and has helped launch over 4,000 courses.

Online Courses are the Future of Media
Everything we knew about education has changed.

During the past year, we've gone to meet many other teacher entrepreneurs including Ankur Nagpal and Conrad Wadowski who started in teaching online and founded the course hosting tool Fedora, which is being used by thousands of instructors including us.
With their help, we're rounding out the course with 6+ hours of detailed interviews from 10 other “million dollar instructors."
Online courses provide a scalable way to create a connection with people. It's a form of media that's been proven to work and will educate our current generation with relavent career and life skills.
