Miestro Course Platform with Justin Burns KDS: 003

I had the good pleasure of becoming friends with Justin Burns a few years ago in a mastermind.

I’ve often said that the relationships from the mastermind are probably my biggest take away from the time, energy, and money invested. Connecting with like-minded people who wanted to do more with their business, were positive, and in it for the long run.

Justin Burns is the co-founder of a new course platform called Miestro (yep, that’s how it’s spelled). Justin has been in the online marketing space for over 10 years. He’s done it all: services, products, and now software. What I love most about Justin’s story is that his business has evolved and grown as he has. One of the things I asked Justin was how he felt launching a software product in a space with some big companies who already have traction (we all face that dilemma, don’t we?).

Let’s jump in!

Questions I asked Justin

1. Can you share your background and what you were doing before you launched Miestro?
2. What made you jump into software
3. Online teaching platforms are competitive. What made you choose this space?
4. Can you share some of the features in Miestro and what makes it unique?
5. Who is Miestro for?
6. What’s on the roadmap for Miestro? (I love getting a sneak peek at features)

Justin shared this quote with me in the episode, and I love it:
