The true power of HubSpot Academy
We do our best to plan out every HubHeroes podcast episode in advance, so we can guarantee you always get the most out of HubHeroes every time you listen. However, sometimes the episode we end up recording is not the one we planned — instead it turns out to be the episode our community absolutely needs.
That's exactly what happened with this episode.
Yes, we planned to talk about HubSpot Academy — where it came from, how to get the most out of it, and so on. And we did touch upon some of that, as well as how to navigate HubSpot Academy (because it can be a little overwhelming at first!).
But our conversation ended up taking an unexpectedly sentimental and emotional turn. You see, folks, when we spend so much time thinking about our content and are strategies as purely transactional, we can sometimes forget what impact you can have as an individual or an organization, when you educate to serve.
Hopefully this episode reminds you of that.
And don't forget to mark your calendars for World Certification Week, May 15-19!
Here's what we cover in this episode ...
- What's the difference between HubSpot then and now?
- How did HubSpot Academy come to be?
- How did HubSpot Academy directly change the lives of Devyn and Liz?
- What is George's story with HubSpot Academy?
- How do you drop into HubSpot Academy and make the most out of it without getting confused with so many options?
And a heck of a lot more!
