The classic immigrant success story, Happi Leopold moved from Cameroon to Canada with $200 in his pocket and no understanding of English. Nonetheless, he landed a job at a bank and worked his way up to advising clients and managing portfolios to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Today, he runs his own company — Easy Finance Academy — through which he teaches ordinary people the same principles he used to advise wealthy investors.
In this episode Danny, Abe, and Happi discuss:
- Teaching students in a highly challenging and regulated field like finance
- How to navigate student expectations especially when there is significant downside risk
- Differentiating your course when there is so much competing information available
- The importance of developing a larger business around your courses
After the discussion, stay tuned for Danny and Abe’s debriefing, containing their key takeaways.
“So the way I look at this, I'm not just running courses — I'm running a business around my courses.”

What is Course Lab: Lessons from Successful Online Course Creators?
Want to create a hugely successful online course, one that has a major impact on the lives of your students? If you want to learn how to create online courses from the best, you turn to Mirasee; and if you want to host that course, you can’t go wrong using the powerful platform, Ruzuku.
Ruzuku co-founder Abe Crystal and Mirasee founder and CEO Danny Iny know what it takes to stand out and be successful in the online courses industry. And now they’re teaming up to share this intel with you in their new Course Lab podcast.
In every episode, Course Lab showcases an entrepreneur/course creator who is nailing it with their online course -- and not because they’re teaching people how to make more money. In fact, most of these creators occupy unusual or overlooked niches, like music, writing for video games, overcoming inherent bias, and finding your life purpose.
Turns out, the key to their success all comes down to their online course design. In this podcast, Danny and Abe reveal the most important design tactics that are making all the difference for these online course creators -- and how you can implement them in your own online course. So if you want to create a successful online course that changes the lives of your students, this is your big chance to learn how it’s done from the best in the industry!
