The Course Creator Show
The Course Creator Show is your no-BS guide to building a wildly successful online course business—without sacrificing your sanity. We’re talking big revenue, part-time hours, and the kind of freedom that lets you work in your pajamas or from a café in Paris (because why not both?).
Hosted by Gemma Bonham-Carter, an online business strategist who’s helped over 14,000 entrepreneurs through her paid programs, this show dishes out the insider strategies, real talk, and no-fluff advice you need to hit those big business goals.
From behind-the-scenes peeks into her own 7-figure business to lessons from the best in the digital product game, Gemma keeps it real. When she’s not teaching you how to crush it online, she’s chasing her kids, scheming her next renovation project, or sipping matcha lattes while pretending she doesn’t love reality TV.
If you’re ready to skip the hustle grind and build a business that works for your life (not the other way around), tune in. LFG.

Episode 221 | Why I'm Taking Every AI Shortcut Possible
Trying to DIY your way through AI isn't showing grit—it's wasting precious time and opportunity. And I say this as someone who LOVES to figure things out myself!
I'm seeing too many capable founders (especially women) stalling out because they're stuck in what I call "prompt purgatory"—constantly collecting AI resources but rarely implementing them.
What if the shortcut isn't cheating? What if it's actually the smart CEO move that you're avoiding? While you're saving that fifth tutorial to watch "later," someone else has already launched their product or tripled their output with AI doing the heavy lifting. That's the new reality.
I'll share how my own business transformation began when I took a shortcut by investing in a Pinterest course years ago—a decision that collapsed my learning curve from years into weeks and became the foundation for everything I've built since.
What you'll learn:
- Why "shortcutting" with AI is about collapsing timelines, not cutting corners
- The hidden costs of DIYing your way through AI (time, energy, missed opportunities)
- How to shift from "scrappy founder" to "smart CEO" mindset
- What AI mastery in 2025 actually unlocks (building funnels in a weekend, tripling content output)
- Why the entrepreneurs who thrive this year won't be the ones who "kinda know" AI
