Welcome to the Get Richer Teacher Podcast. My name is Ola and I'll be your guide and mentor on your way to a profitable, sustainable, but most importantly, enjoyable language education business. And why would you care to do that? To build a business like that? Because there is literally no other way.
The language education market is in a bizarre state. Companies making millions in profit yet paying teachers peanuts. Native speakerism is still way too powerful. And finally, the students are bored of the same old formats and messaging telling them to speak like a native.
I'm here to shake things up. To educate and motivate a community of teachers who have the courage to build businesses and teach the language on their own terms, both solo or in their own language schools, and have a positive impact on their students and the world. Because teachers are superheroes. Let's claim it today!

Episode 170 How does it feel to work with me (in my clients' words)
This episode is a little bit emotional – because it’s the last episode of Get Richer, Teacher. I’m closing this chapter with a heart full of gratitude and a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to work with me, straight from the people who’ve experienced it.
Whether you’re a long-time listener, a past client, or just curious what my coaching actually feels like, this one’s for you.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
What it really feels like to be coached by me.
Why coaching, not teaching, is my true zone of genius (and how I finally embraced that).
Why people go wild for… my 175-task launch spreadsheet.
How I help people stop overcomplicating and start doing – with direct, loving, to-the-point feedback.
The kind of people who thrive working with me – and who probably won’t.
Thank you for listening, for sharing, for showing up. I’m not going anywhere, but this beautiful ride has come to its natural end – at least for now. Let’s stay connected and keep building the kind of business that feels like you!

169 Why most business courses don't work for language teachers.mp3
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my very real, very subjective opinions on why most business courses out there simply don’t work for language teachers and coaches. And nope, it’s not just me being critical – it’s based on stories I hear all the time.
Here’s what I talk about:
The kind of business advice most teachers come across first – and why that’s a problem
How the typical ‘business shark’ energy pushes so many brilliant teachers away
Why focusing on things like Instagram might not be solving the real problem
The difference between selling what people want and offering what they actually need
Why a lot of business advice is aimed at beginners – and how it plays into their fears and desperation
What ethical, values-based marketing really looks like
If you’ve ever felt like the business world wasn’t made for people like us – this one’s for you

Episode 168 How to build a language course people are deseprate to buy
If you’ve ever wondered why your course isn’t selling – or you’re just starting out and want to avoid wasting time on offers that flop – this episode is a must-listen. I break down the art and science of building offers that don’t just sound good on paper, but actually sell.
Here’s what we talk about in this episode:
Why a strong offer is non-negotiable if you want your business to grow
The power of thinking like your client, not like a teacher – because your clients don’t want what you think they need
How being super specific (like ‘courses for Brazilians relocating to Australia’) helps you stand out in a saturated market
The role of market research and beta testing in shaping offers that resonate
Why listening to your current clients can be your best source of product ideas (and no, ‘I know what they need’ doesn’t count)
The ‘chocolate vs broccoli’ analogy you didn’t know you needed: how to package your offer so people actually want it
If you're serious about creating a language course that becomes the backbone of your business, don’t skip this one.
