MEET your Host
Hey! I’m Melissa 
I’m a course creation expert and the CEO of Wit & Wire.
Not only have I taught thousands of students and built my own six-figure course business, but I’ve also been fortunate to work for some of the biggest names in course creation, including Teachable, Ramit Sethi, and General Assembly.

If you’re launching a digital anything, this is a must!
“Melissa is thoughtful, organized, concise, curious, and a great teacher and learner. She truly cares that her audience and students see success. She doesn’t sugar-coat answers, and she presents material in an action-taking way. A lot of these lessons apply to other areas of digital business, not just podcasting. I’m grateful that I discovered this treasure. It has been exactly what I needed to get out of my own way! Thanks Melissa for your dedication, honesty, and motivation.”
