Whether you’re about to embark on the journey of hosting your own podcast or you already have your podcast online, it’s always easier to learn from the mistakes of others. In our work with many podcasters, we have become increasingly aware of the issues that have arisen over the course of producing shows that have created headaches for them. So much so that they have come to us to put elements in place (such as a podcast release form) to save themselves from having to manage these issues again in the future.

It’s not uncommon for me to have conversations with people looking to get their legals done for their online course or program. What is interesting though is how often there is confusion about whether people believe they have an online course or program. The distinction between the two is important because there are different expectations and risks, depending on the methods used to provide coaching, training or education online.

Working as a lawyer in the online business space, it’s not uncommon for me to see small business owners looking to create relationships with complementary businesses to refer clients to them and help them source clients.

It is something we see quite frequently with business owners who might have their own program or course they are selling.
