  • ChatGPT Is Eating Your Course Sales But It Can't Eat This

    ChatGPT Is Eating Your Course Sales But It Can't Eat This
    2026/01/14
    ChatGPT is answering the questions your course used to own. And if you’re a creator, that can feel deeply unsettling. In this episode, Gina breaks down why AI is absolutely disrupting information-based courses—and why that doesn’t mean your business is over. The creators who win next won’t compete on content. They’ll build something AI can’t replicate: real human transformation powered by community. This conversation reframes where durable value actually lives now—and how to build a business that compounds instead of constantly starting over. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why ChatGPT is quietly eating course sales • What AI can replace—and what it never will • The difference between linear businesses and flywheel businesses • Why communities create compounding results • How your first members generate momentum • Why creators don’t need more content to grow • How results drive word-of-mouth and retention (00:00) Why ChatGPT is changing creator businesses (00:32) The fear course creators aren’t saying out loud (01:05) Why information is no longer defensible (01:42) Linear businesses vs flywheel businesses (02:18) Why courses and e-commerce force you to restart (02:55) What communities make possible that AI can’t (03:28) The power of your first 10 members (04:02) Why creators don’t need more content (04:30) Designing experiences instead of information (05:03) How results create word-of-mouth growth (05:33) Why momentum compounds in communities (06:02) The flywheel creators are missing → Get Our FREE Community Masterclasshttps://www.mightynetworks.com/peoplemagic?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic_sm&utm_campaign=peoplemagic → FREE LIVE Intro Eventhttps://community.mightynetworks.com/events?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic_sm&utm_campaign=peoplemagic → JOIN the $1-Million Community Challengehttps://community.mightynetworks.com/collections/16764?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic_sm&utm_campaign=peoplemagic

    Forget E-Commerce in 2026. This model is better.
    2026/01/15
    E-commerce taught creators to sell content like products. But in 2026, that model is quietly breaking—and many creators are feeling it in declining sales, lower engagement, and growing uncertainty. In this episode of People Magic, Gina unpacks why traditional courses, funnels, and “passive income” strategies are losing power in an AI-driven world—and what model is replacing them. This is a reframe for creators who don’t want to race to the bottom on price, relevance, or energy, and instead want to build something truly defensible. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why the e-commerce model is failing creators • How AI has changed how people learn and buy • The real problem with selling information alone • Why most courses don’t create lasting value • The model that actually works in 2026 • How to turn a course into a shared transformation• Why transitions—not funnels—drive growth and retention (00:00) Why the e-commerce model is breaking for creators(00:34) “My course sales are down—what’s happening?”(01:18) How online courses were built to sell like products(02:05) Why most people never finish courses(02:52) The myth of passive income in creator businesses(03:35) How AI changed buyer behavior overnight(04:18) Why information is no longer defensible(05:00) The temptation to turn courses into AI tools(05:38) Why AI alone won’t save your business(06:12) The model that actually works in 2026(06:58) Turning courses into shared challenges(07:42) Why transitions create urgency and motivation(08:28) Designing transformation people do together → Get Our FREE Community Masterclasshttps://www.mightynetworks.com/peoplemagic?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic_sm&utm_campaign=peoplemagic → FREE LIVE Intro Eventhttps://community.mightynetworks.com/events?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic_sm&utm_campaign=peoplemagic → JOIN the $1-Million Community Challengehttps://community.mightynetworks.com/collections/16764?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic_sm&utm_campaign=peoplemagic
