Becoming a Thought Leader and Creating a Million Dollar Course With Tiago Forte
This is an interview with Tiago Forte, Creator of Building a Second Brain (BASB).
SHOWNOTES:
- 🌐 Tiago's website
- 📚 Tiago's book
- 🎁 Matt Giaro's 7-day email note-taking course
Creating content and building successful online courses can be hard and disgraceful.
Especially when you start getting off the ground, it can be frustrating seeing other successful creators online. For them, everything seems so easy.
And for you? It just seems to be so hard.
It seems like an unsurmountable amount of work or a kind of mystical process. And this is why I like to bring experts on the show like the one we have today. The goal? Is to uncover a little bit of this mystery that may surround becoming a successful creator and selling millions of dollars worth of online courses.
And I'm very excited about today's episode because today I have a special guest that you probably know if you're already into note-taking and productivity.
His name is Tiago Forte.
Tiago is the expert when it comes to building a second brain. He has not only built a successful business but actually a whole movement around his note-taking methodology.
He has also just launched his book, building a second brain, and I wanted to bring Thiago on to show to share, reveal and uncover how he went from "unknown dude" to thought leader in the productivity industry.
👉What was the process that allowed him to sell millions of dollars worth of his online courses?
👉How did he get started?
👉How did he go from selling $30 online courses on Skillshare to building this huge building a second brain, quote unquote, movement?
So I couldn't be more excited to have Tiago on the show.

How to Find Your Unfair Advantage With Andrew Kamphey
There are two types of creators: those who bet on their weaknesses and those who bet on their strengths.
Who do you think has the better odds of succeeding?
Obviously, it's the one who bets on his strengths.
Why? Because when you bet on your strengths, you already start with an unfair advantage...
But as with all good things in life, finding your unfair advantage can be tough.
This is why today's episode is all about how to identify your strengths and "unfair" advantages.
