How To Use Presto Player with LearnDash
You may not know this but I've been offering courses for years and years. But most of the time it's not been on my main site. I've used Teachery, Teachable, Thinkific, and most recently Podia. But today I started to move my storytelling course to my own site (in a subdomain). Today I thought I...
Related Post Plugins Can Leave You Handcuffed

The Challenge of Lessons Learned
Are \"Lessons Learned\" Real? I've spent the week talking with business owners at CaboPress. One of the things that constantly surprises me is how much we know collectively that we don't apply to our own, or each others' situations. It makes you wonder if lessons learned are really learned at all. How many times have...
What Product Managers Can Learn from Ray-Ban Stories
What Are Ray-Ban Stories? Ray-Ban Stories are the first smart glasses by Ray-Ban.
