  • Summary

  • Ever wondered what it’s really like to build a business in your twenties, ride the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, and come out the other side? In this episode, Natalie sits down with Teachable founder Ankur Nagpal to spill all the tea on the evolution of online education and the booming creator economy. Together, they take a trip down memory lane, sharing the highs and lows of startup life (spoiler: it’s not always pretty). Ankur also dives into the juicy details of navigating market saturation, using AI to shake up course creation, what happens to your identity after a big business exit, and how he really spends his money after the $250M buy out. If you’re obsessed with entrepreneurship, creating impact, or staying ahead of the trends in online learning, this episode is packed with value— plus, you’ll learn what his second venture is, why he couldn’t just “live the travel life” + what he’s doing differently in business this time around.
