Girl Stop Playing.

Welcome back to another episode of the Girl Stop Playing podcast.

I'm Coriol, your favorite home girl, here to encourage you to stop playing with your potential

and start working for what you want in life and in love.

Y'all already know that I truly, truly believe that you can have it all. You can make the money and you can get the honey if you are willing to work. And we got a real workaholic in the building today. So I gotta put some respect on your name first. Don't put the camera on it yet. Don't put the on again. I got to put some respect on the name. So we have Danielle Leslie in the building, y'all. Miss Danielle Leslie has

grossed over. I ain't never even said this number on the show before y'all. She has grossed over

$20 million. Big M's in online course sales. That's a lot of people out here slacking courses

myself being included but it's not too many that have those big ms next to it so we are definitely

excited to talk to the creator of course from scratch which is an eight week online intensive

that helps other people create and launch their profitable and pop in online courses. So with that, please welcome Miss Danielle Leslie. Oh my God, thank you so much. Girl, we gotta put some respect on your name. Did I forget anything? No, girl, you're good. You like you said the 20Ms, baby. That's all you needed to say. No, but thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. I'm excited.

You are definitely a legend in these online streets. So I know the people are excited about this conversation. They were already hitting me up like I'm going to be tuned in. So y'all are in for a treat. We gotta talk about though, you know, there's always the glitz and the glam on the gram. to go to go back a little bit, though, like what, who, how?

the online course creator?

Yeah, absolutely.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, it was right before it was a season of being six figures in debt, having no car, living with my mom,

not knowing where I was going to make my next dollars from.

I had this dream of being like a startup founder. What was it? What was the first startup? It was called Gen Juice, like Generation Juice. And it was with two other women, Ariel and Virgilia, who are amazing. And it was Ariel's brainchild. And so we came on. And the vision was just to, we were early, early, early. This was back in a Tumblr days in like 2010.

But we wanted to help Jen Wires build their personal brands online.

So we did a series of meetups.

So we put on like a national tour.
