July was packed with ideas, insights, and “aha” moments — and in this episode I’m sharing my 5 biggest takeaways so you can skip the noise and head straight to the good stuff.

To give you an extra taste, I’ve included a few short clips from our Premium‑exclusive shows so you can hear exactly the kind of deeper conversations and training our members get access to every week.

We’ll cover:

• How to cut through the noise and teach in a way that’s authentically you
• Why attracting the right pupils matters more than attracting more pupils
• One simple question that can transform the way you run any lesson
• Ways to add value for your learners beyond the driving seat
