Have you been wondering if digital courses are “dead” in today’s AI-driven world? With so much content available at our fingertips, it’s easy to question if creating a course is still worth it.

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Amy Porterfield, bestselling author, host of Online Marketing Made Easy & The Amy Porterfield Podcast, and creator of Digital Course Academy.

Over the past 16 years, Amy has built a $120 million business serving over 100,000 students through her programs. She knows exactly what’s working (and what’s not) in the online course industry right now.

We talk about:

• Why courses are not only alive but evolving in exciting ways
• How to stand out in an AI-saturated world with authenticity, support, and accountability
• The course trends that are thriving in 2025 (hint: it’s not about creating a 12-module “monster”!)
• The biggest mistakes new course creators make and how to avoid them
• Why now is actually the best time to create your digital course

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, letting fear, perfectionism, or “waiting for the right time” hold you back, this conversation is your green light to get started.

👉 Amy is also hosting her once-a-year Course Confident Bootcamp, designed to help you choose your course topic, price it, and start building an audience all with her signature step-by-step guidance. I highly recommend joining us there!

This episode is packed with inspiration, practical advice, and a fresh perspective on why courses still win... even in the age of AI. You’ll walk away knowing that the world needs your knowledge, your voice, and your story.

In this episode of Launch Perspective, I’m sitting down with Brittany Long, the queen of sustainable content and the creator of the AI Dream Team method that’s changing how entrepreneurs show up online.

We’re diving into how Brittany used AI to replace over $4,700/month in freelance support, how she creates massive amounts of content from one simple voice memo, and what her 6-person “AI Dream Team” looks like.

We cover the exact tools and workflows she uses to automate thousands of dollars' worth of work each month… without sacrificing authenticity.

You’ll learn:

• What an AI Dream Team is (and how it can save you serious time and money)
• The 6 “clones” Brittany created to scale her business faster with less burnout
• How even non-techy entrepreneurs can start building their first AI assistant
• Why AI is the key to showing up more consistently and more powerfully in your content

Whether you’re new to AI or ready to dive deeper, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible when you stop doing it all alone.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by content, burned out by launch cycles, or stuck at a growth plateau, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible when you let AI do the heavy lifting.
