About this episode

I host Ahad Khan, the CEO of Kajabi, a revolutionary all-in-one platform designed for knowledge entrepreneurs and creators to build, market, and sell educational content.

In the age of the "Great Resignation," millions of people are breaking traditional employment chains to start their own ventures. However, the risks and difficulties associated with entrepreneurship can be discouraging. Ahad discusses how Kajabi is offering a solution, enabling individuals to monetize their expertise without sacrificing their day jobs or making substantial time and capital investments.

As we delve deeper into Kajabi's functionality, we explore how it provides a single, user-friendly platform to publish, market, and sell a variety of digital products, including online courses, membership sites, and communities. Kajabi has been instrumental in fostering the success of tens of thousands of entrepreneurs.

The company is valued at $2 billion and empowered over 60,000 creators to collectively earn more than $5bn, reaching more than 70 million people worldwide.

Ahad shares inspiring stories of individuals flourishing on Kajabi, such as Dr. Jamie Wilkey, who earned $230,000 in a year by teaching an online course for pharmacists.

In the conversation with Ahad, we uncover Kajabi's technology stack, the role of AI in accelerating its platform functionalities, and the vision behind Kajabi's effort to empower creators and celebrate their achievements.

We also dive into Ahad's personal journey, his views on entrepreneurship, and his book recommendation for our listeners, "The Ascent of Money" by Niall Ferguson.

This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to understand the potential of knowledge entrepreneurship and the power of innovative platforms like Kajabi in driving this new wave of digital enterprise. Tune in to learn more about the journey, successes, and future plans of Kajabi under the leadership of Ahad Khan.
