Episode 042: Samantha King & finding her way out the dark and twisty place
About Samantha:
Meet Samantha!
Samantha King is a former teacher with 8+ years of experience creating engaging learning experiences for her students in elementary classrooms. After years in both the corporate and small business worlds, Samantha is still teaching!
Tired of seeing service providers like her trading in their corporate lives only to bring all the work and double the hours into their new business, Samantha is using her skill set to teach these busy entrepreneurs how to package their experience into online courses that become products that run without them while showing them how to use those courses to generate more recurring income without working around the clock.
