I’m THRILLED to start off the year with today’s guest.

I sat down with Jera Bean—social media strategist, video editing pro, and all-around powerhouse—to talk about her journey of launching her first digital course.

This isn’t just a story about creating a product; it’s about redefining what’s possible when you approach business with creativity, resilience, and a willingness to take messy action.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of launching a digital product or doubted whether you could make it work, this episode will give you the permission and inspiration to get started. Jera shares the behind-the-scenes of how she went from ideation to creation, from beta testing to licensing her course to major brands—and even schools in Australia.

Here’s the best part: Jera didn’t have it all figured out when she started (spoiler: none of us do!). But through intentional action, strategic pivots, and embracing the learning curve, she turned her digital product into a revenue-generating powerhouse—before she even launched it publicly!
