What to listen for:

"Basic gun dog training is just good general dog training, really. It’s outside, in a natural environment, in a sort of rural environment where you have all the distractions or environmental reinforcers that every dog is exposed to.”

Discover the world of gun dog training and its incredible benefits for both dogs and dog trainers in this engaging conversation with Jo Laurens, author, instructor, podcaster, and gun dog trainer. Not only will you learn about the foundations of gun dog training, but you'll also see how it’s beneficial to your dog’s overall behavior and obedience.

Our hosts Robin Greubel and Crystal Wing chat with Jo about the essential skills for gun dog training and how they can be translated into general dog training for any breed. You'll learn how understanding the environment as a potential reinforcer can help build a reliable recall and well-trained dog, as well as the benefits of breaking up the chain of behaviors to keep the dog guessing and learning. They also emphasize how these techniques can be used in force-free methods, leading to happier and more successful dogs and trainers.

Stay tuned as they explore Jo's online gun dog training academy, her book Force-Free Gundog Training: The Fundamentals for Success, and the accompanying Workbook. Jo shares her experiences working with different gun dog breeds and the importance of really knowing the breed you're working with.

Thank you for listening to this series on tokenizing your microschool. We are going to answer the question you are all thinking about but are afraid to ask. What if I don't want to or can't focus on building a community right now?

It's possible to use your existing community to help with tokenization. While it's ideal to build a community from scratch, you can also use the community you already have. This will help reduce the time it takes to get started and get your tokens into circulation.

You may have immediate needs and are unable to focus on building a community for your micsoschool. However, you can still use the community you have to help with tokenization. In this episode, we will discuss how to do this. Listen below.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why you may not be able to build the community you desire before you create an NFT or social token?
• Steps you need to take when you need to raise capital for your microschool or course academy.
• Things you should consider when you are ready to move forward with creating an NFT for your existing community.

With the rise of blockchain technology, a new era of event fundraising has begun. Known as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, these offer a more secure and user-friendly experience than traditional fundraising. For one, NFTs are stored on a blockchain network, which means that they are encrypted and stored as immutable blocks. This makes it virtually impossible for fraudsters to duplicate or tamper with them. NFTs can be easily transferred and sold, making it easy for supporters to resell their NFTs if they can no longer attend a class or event. Because NFTs are stored on a decentralized network, there is no need for a third-party company. With ‌these benefits, it’s no wonder that NFT as a fundraising tool is quickly becoming the preferred choice for microschools and online academies.

Valerie was having a hard time deciding how to tokenize her upcoming event. She wanted to make sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible, but she wasn't sure how to go about it. Luckily, she knew just who to call for help: Contessa!

Contessa was more than happy to help Valerie out. She had a lot of experience with tokenizing events and was confident that she could help Valerie get everything set up perfectly. Valerie was relieved and grateful for Contessa's help.

The day of the event finally arrived, and Valerie was excited to see how things went. Thankfully, everything went off without a hitch thanks to Contessa's expertise! Valerie was very pleased with the results and thanked Contessa for making the entire process easy.

Do you run a microschool, online academy or create courses for your business? Have you thought about tokenizing your community?

If you're interested in learning more about how to use NFTs and social tokens within your microschool, be sure to listen to our podcast below. We'll be discussing this topic in more depth. Thanks for listening!

A microschool is a small, private institution where students and adult learners are empowered to personalize their own education and are held accountable for their own progress. They are becoming increasingly popular as web technology becomes more prevalent.

One way that microschools can use web 3 technology is by creating nfts or social tokens. Nfts are unique digital assets that can be used to signify class attendance, accessing resources or completing activities.

A microschool could use social tokens to fund and reward student-led projects or to encourage positive interactions between students and adults. This would create a more effective community within the microschool and help to motivate and engage students.

Tokenizing your microschool community allows you to create a more engaged and committed user base, as well as generate revenue from your tokenized ecosystem.

In this episode we will learn:

• What are the different types of microschools? (This answer may surprise you.)
• What are some reasons you will want to tokenize them? (they might not be what you think)
• What are some challenges you may have using NFTs and social tokens with your microschool, online course, or academy? (are the really challenges)
• Why you should focus on community development before introducing a social token, creator coin, or community token?

Microschools are becoming increasingly popular as web technology becomes more prevalent. You may be wondering how you can use NFTs and social tokens to create a more effective community within your microschool.
