Codie Sanchez and a guest compare creator courses to college, arguing that students pay $30,000+ yearly for disengaged professors while creator courses get criticized for the same thing. They note universities demand alumni donations; creators don't. The real shift: creators are moving beyond teaching to actually building and scaling businesses.
Some of the criticism that a lot of content creators get is, oh, you just make money teaching.
Yeah.
Or another side is like, oh, this course is so expensive, or this content is so expensive.
Yeah.
And I'm like, most people are paying $30,000 a year or more to go to college for some entirely bullcrap class.
Correct. Where the professor doesn't even care and like doesn't have the experience that we have. Right.
Like, and then at the end they buy the t-shirt.
It's like, what? Exactly. And then don't get a job.
No content creator is also coming back later and saying, hey, could you contribute to the alumni fund?
Correct. I'm going to start doing that on Twitter. I got to stop being so much of a troll. That's funny. That's funny.
That's good. But one thing that I think is interesting is as we go from a lot of these creator businesses focused on content and education, which are amazing businesses. Yeah. You're doing a lot of fantastic work shifting to, look, I want to own these businesses. I want to take this attention into a business that I own. Totally.
