Yes, you read that episode title correctly! We are taking a short break from our standard interview format to discuss a very popular book from a unique perspective. While some of you may have heard of the concepts explained in The Five Love Languages, I’m willing to bet you haven’t thought too much about how to apply those principles to the world of online courses. But that’s exactly what we’re doing today.
