“When people get into your course and struggle, we can’t always figure out the reasons why. There are gaps and all kinds of things are going on there. But what it has a lot to do with is planning. We need to really, intentionally think this through, pause a bit, stop rushing our products out into the space, and follow the process of getting a product out and testing it.” 

“There can be gaps in motivation. There are so many places where people might get stuck in the process. When we look more deeply at our audience, the problem, and the solution, we realize that sometimes what we think they need isn’t what they actually need.”

“I have probably realized as a learner that frameworks really helped me make sense of information that’s being given.”
