15 months ago I started posting about content creation
It's allowed me to work in the shadows for cool brands, editing short-form videos & consulting

Who is the best at producing high quality online courses? I am seeking someone to help film edit and produce a structured course that will be distributed to thousands of people. If you know anyone my DMs are open :)
