You’re not imagining it: online courses look like they’re “booming” everywhere you turn, but if you’ve got a course (or you’re thinking about building one), the numbers can feel painfully… not booming. You might be wondering if you missed the window, if your course is suddenly “too late,” or if you’re about to waste months on something the market already moved past.
In this Q&A Wednesday episode, Omar tackles a question and breaks down why the signals feel so confusing right now. He explains what’s actually changing in online education, why the approach that used to work can suddenly feel like it’s falling flat, and what you need to pay attention to if you want your course business to keep working as the industry evolves. You’ll leave with clarity and a fresh way to think about where the real opportunity is today.

When you're in back-to-back meetings all day, you're trying to stay present, but you're also worried you'll forget the decisions that are made in the meeting, the action items you gotta do, the important next steps that you need to take. That's where Granola comes in. Granola is an AI-powered notepad for meetings. You jot down rough notes like you always do, and in the background, Granola transcribes and turns them into clear, useful notes when the meeting ends. No bots joining your calls, no distractions, just a clean notepad that helps you focus. During or after the call, you can chat with your notes, ask Granola to put out action items, help you negotiate, or even write a follow-up email. I've been using Granola for some time now, and one of my favorite features is that after a meeting, I just ask Granola, "What are my action items?" After a thirty-minute or sixty-minute meeting, sometimes you'll forget to jot down a thing or two that you need to do, so it's always good to know that Granola's got my back, and I can just ask it after the meeting what I need to do next.
