We are Joeel & Natalie Rivera. Creating online courses transformed our business at a time when we needed it. After returning from our honeymoon, I  became ill and spent almost a year on bedrest. During this time we were unable to continue conducting our in-person workshops, speeches and coach training programs. However, what felt like a curse turned out to be a blessing because in 2015 we decided we wouldn’t let our circumstances hold us back and we converted all of our programs into online courses.

Today, we have served almost 300,000+ students from over 195 countries. We’re happy and healthy and our business is thriving. We live at the beach, create our own schedules, travel when we want to, and love what we do.

And, now we want to teach YOU everything we’ve learned about creating online courses, so that you can get paid to teach what you know and love while helping people from around the world.
