Some people teach. Others truly change lives with what they teach. Jasmine Jonte has done both—and in this episode, she shares how her time in one of the toughest classrooms in the country shaped her approach to building courses that actually work. We talk about the real power of education, and how to turn what you know into something that helps people grow, take action, and get results. Tune in for clear, helpful insight from someone who's done this over a hundred times (literally).

Jasmine has worked behind the scenes with top experts—from lawyers and coaches to real estate pros and creatives—to help them package what they know in a way that sticks. She breaks down what makes a course not just informative, but transformational. You’ll hear her honest take on what people usually get wrong, what to focus on instead, and how to make the process way less overwhelming.

We also get into the fun stuff: how AI is changing course creation, why rest is non-negotiable, and what it really looks like to build a business that aligns with your life. Jasmine shares how she listens to her body, runs her agency, and still makes space to rewatch Ted Lasso with her husband and hang with her rescue pup. It’s a conversation about courses—but really, it’s about building something that matters.
