327. Are Online Courses Dead? What's Really Happening in the Course Creation Space with Jasmine Jonte

326. Seasons of Life for Women Entrepreneurs: Learning to Work With Where You Are with Amber Richardson
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
You know that feeling when you're in the middle of something — a project, a launch, a life transition — and everything feels like pushing water uphill? Like nothing is working, nothing is moving, and you're the only one who can't seem to get it together? In this episode, I sit down with Amber Richardson — life coach, speaker, and author of Seasonal Syncing: A Woman's Guide to Harmony and Wholeness One Season at a Time — to talk about why that feeling isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a sign that you might be fighting your season instead of working with it. Amber...

325. Brand Voice for Women Entrepreneurs: Stop Performing and Start Attracting Your People with Patricia Viscount
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
There are three questions every human being is asking: Do you see me? Do you hear me? And do I matter? When the voice you're putting out into the world doesn't actually sound like you — when it's been sanded down into something professional and polished and unrecognizable — those three questions go unanswered for the very people you are trying to reach. In this episode, I sit down with Patricia Viscount — brand voice strategist, former Canadian Army Public Affairs Officer with NATO tours in Bosnia and Kosovo, and Communication Specialist in the international energy sector — to...

324. Raising Resilient Kids: Why Letting Go Is the Most Loving Thing You Can Do with Randi Crawford
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Parenting. Just that one word is enough to make your shoulders tighten, isn’t it? In this episode, I sit down with Randi Crawford — certified life coach, speaker, author, and mom — to talk honestly about what it actually takes to raise kids who can handle life when you’re not there to fix it for them. Randi spent years coaching young women before she realized the real work needed to happen one generation up — with the moms. What she found, over and over, was that the struggle these girls were experiencing traced directly back to one thing: parents who loved their kids...

The Game On Girlfriend Podcast

318. How to Structure Your Business for Venture Capital Funding with Ms. Cat
The Game On Girlfriend Podcast
Only 3% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses. But here's the thing—it's not because your idea isn't good enough. It's because of foundational mistakes you're making before you even apply. Business strategist Ms. Cat (Catherine Mitchell) joins Sarah to break down exactly what keeps women entrepreneurs from accessing the billions in funding that's actually available. From choosing the wrong business name to using your personal Gmail account, these structural errors are disqualifying you before funders even look at your pitch.

info_outlineAre online courses dead? It's the question everyone in the online business world has been asking — especially after some very big names stepped away from courses over the past couple of years.
In this episode, I sit down with Jasmine Jonte — founder of CRE8TION and one of the sharpest minds in course creation — to talk about what's actually happening, what it means for the rest of us, and what it takes to build a course that delivers real results for students.
Jasmine has built over 140 programs and 1,600+ lessons for clients. She started her career teaching kindergarten and first grade in Detroit's lowest-performing school, and that experience shaped everything she does now. She believes students deserve more than they're getting—and that belief drives every course her agency builds.
Here's what I love about this conversation: Jasmine does not sugarcoat it. She talks about why some self-paced courses are losing their appeal, what the market is actually demanding now, and why clarity on your niche is the foundation for everything else. She also gets real about the part most course creators avoid — the marketing piece that determines whether a great course sells or sits.
If you've been sitting on a course idea, wondering whether it is still worth offering, or just trying to make sense of all the noise around this topic, this episode will give you a much clearer picture.
