The first time someone suggested I make an online course, I laughed. I was a college Principal. I'd spent decades in further education. I'd sat in more curriculum planning meetings than I care to remember. "What would I even teach?" I thought. "Everyone already knows this stuff." They didn't. The thing is, when you've lived inside a subject for years — whether that's your job, a skill, a passion — it stops feeling like knowledge. It just feels like... you. Like common sense. But it isn't common sense to someone who doesn't have it yet. I made my first Udemy course and within weeks, people were messaging me from the other side of the world saying it had changed how they worked. I hadn't invented anything. I hadn't discovered anything new. I'd just taken what was already in my head — knowledge I'd stopped noticing — and put it somewhere someone else could find it. That's all a course is. Knowledge made findable. So I want to ask you something genuinely: What do people come to you for advice on? At work, in your family, in your social circle — what are the questions you always seem to get asked? That's probably your course topic. And it's probably more valuable than you think. Tell me below. 👇

You don't need to be the world's best to teach it. I've been in education for over 40 years — as a teacher, as a college Principal, and now as a course creator with 16 courses on Udemy. And the biggest lie I see holding people back isn't imposter syndrome. It's a misunderstanding of what teaching actually is. Teaching isn't about knowing everything. It's about knowing the next step for someone who's two steps behind you. Think about it. If you'd never driven a car, who would you rather learn from — a Formula 1 driver, or someone who passed their test last year and still remembers how confusing roundabouts were? That's the 1% rule. You don't need to be 100% ahead of your student. You just need to be 1% further down the road. So here's the question I want you to sit with today: What have you figured out — in work, in life, in a hobby — that someone else is still struggling with right now? That's your course. Drop it in the comments. I read every single one. 👇
