In this episode, I sit down with Benny Lewis from Fluent in 3 Months to talk about what it really takes to stand out in a crowded online course space. We dig into how he turned a simple PDF into a global brand, why timing isn’t the barrier people think it is, and what creators should focus on right now to grow. We also get into positioning, pricing, viral content, and the mindset that’s helped Benny stay relevant for over a decade.
