Drawing on a strong tech and training background, Rob Witcher developed smart tools to engage his students and enhance their experience. And just as in tech, it’s all about iteration — so Rob never ceases to seek feedback and improve his courses.

Rob Witcher is a co-founder and master instructor at Destination Certification Inc. 

In this episode, Danny, Abe, and Rob discuss:

• Transitioning from teaching for a company to teaching in your own business
• Creating engaging delivery and fulfillment
• Developing the right tools to support the course
• Focusing on simplicity
• The value of feedback and iteration

“One of the most important lessons we learned is: Simplicity is better… providing less and being very concise.”
