#129: How to Transform an In-Person Skill Into an Online Course | Andrew Douglas

A self-confessed 'entreprenerd', Andrew founded Dojo University in 2008, channelling three decades of expertise as a world-champion bagpiper into a thriving business that now coaches thousands of students to master the bagpipes. Thanks to his strong vision, constant innovation, and penchant for challenging assumptions, Dojo University has grown from the world’s first online bagpipe-music provider into the largest, most successful learning environment for bagpiping in the world – a particularly admirable feat given how traditionally gatekept and change-resistant this musical niche and its target demographic can be.
