The Mountain Pass

Sophie Bailey is the founder and host of the EdTech podcast. Sophie has interviewed over 250 people in the Edtech industry and is about to get started on a new venture. So naturally I wanted to chat with her about all of those topics: how to interview, what she’s learned and what’s up next.

Dr. Luke Hobson is a Senior Instructional Designer and Program Manager at MIT and the host of the aptly named Dr. Luke Hobson Podcast where he interviews leaders in the instructional design space.

As I’ve explored the instructional design world over the past few years for designing our own courses at Alpe I’ve become increasingly aware of this world that’s more and more - all around us, and I wanted to get someone on to explain this world and what it is and Dr. Luke is perfect for that.

You can find all of Dr. Luke's materials at his website: https://drlukehobson.com/

Welcome to the Mountain Pass 🏔!

I’m Yehoshua, co founder of Alpe Audio, an audio education platform. I’ve been exploring education for the past few years as we’ve been building Alpe. but the mountain pass isn’t about Alpe the company, it’s about our learning journey. It’s an exploration of teaching, learning and curiosity.

The learning landscape is immense and through interviews with lifelong learners I want to explore this landscape. Whether they’re instructors, builders or writers we’re all on a lifelong learning journey. In each episode I’ll be exploring one of those themes, and I’m delighted to share that with you.

Welcome to the Mountain Pass 🏔.

How do startups grow to 10,000 users?

Welcome to our first Builder episode, where we share part of our journey here at Alpe. With the goal of building and learning in public, we aim to share our thought process, in real time so that you can hear what it's like to build a startup - learn from our mistakes and imitate our successes. 

In this Builder episode we're sharing lesson 7 from the "Entrepreneurs Growth Playbook" our course on Alpe Audio where we share our own playbook for early stage bootstrapped growth. In this episode you'll hear how we built our early go to market machine, how we thought and tested different distribution channels and what worked and what didn't.

Today I'm talking to Stephanie Horwitz, the host of the "What should I do with my life" podcast.

I wanted to speak with Steph because she's a proactive lifelong learner who's pivoted her personal life a few times - a clear sign of lifelong learning. Our discussion surprised me as we strayed from the cognitive side of learning towards the emotional side of what's required to really be a lifelong learner.
