BUSINESS PROFILE NEVER STOP LEARNING MasterClass Brings the Professionals to You

There is no such thing as having learned it all. It doesn’t matter what your profession is or where your interest lies, there is something out there to learn. Over the past few months, the way we live and work has changed. But we don’t need to tell you that — you’re living through those changes right now. Many of us are working from home, and you may have put a temporary pause on your business in the event your state government has labeled you “nonessential.” As tough as it is, and no matter your situation, none of us has an excuse to sit on our hands. We should always be using our time consciously, even when we don’t have anything “to do.” Now more than ever, MasterClass gives us something to do and learn. You can hone a skill you already have or learn something completely new. MasterClass.com brings together highly skilled professionals from numerous industries and backgrounds. Each professional teaches a video-based class on the subject they know best. One example is Gordon Ramsay. He teaches — you guessed it — cooking! But this isn’t the Gordon Ramsay portrayed on American reality TV. This is Gordon Ramsay in his element, simply walking you through cooking methods and recipes step by step. Even if you’re a novice in the kitchen, by the end of his course, you’ll be confident to try something new and wow your family at the dining table. MasterClass offers numerous categories to choose from, including Film & TV; Music & Entertainment; Culinary Arts; Sports & Games; Design, Photography, & Fashion; and much more. Each category connects you with professionals such as Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Steve Martin, Penn & Teller, Wolfgang Puck, Neil Gaiman, Dan Brown, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, just to name a few. With an extensive, varied list, there is literally something

MasterClass, a paid subscription-based service, works much like Netflix or Disney+. You just sign up for an annual membership and receive unlimited access to every class on the site.

MasterClass allows you to sign up to sample a selection of classes to see if it’s something you’re interested in. We can tell you this service comes highly recommended. We signed up for MasterClass at The Newsletter Pro to give our team another great resource to hone their skills or discover new ones. It goes right along with one of our core values, Multiply Native Genius. We’re big believers in expanding our horizons and improving our skills, and MasterClass helps us do just that. To learn more, visit MasterClass.com. Who knows, maybe as the pandemic comes to an end, you’ll have learned a few new skills that you can put to work as we begin to focus on recovery.

for everyone. Each instructor even provides you with an easy-to-follow syllabus! Learn from Bob Iger, former CEO of The Walt Disney Co., about business strategy and leadership. Or see what Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, has to say as she teaches self-made entrepreneurship. Want to improve your writing skills? Check out Malcolm Gladwell’s course. There are more than 50 classes to choose from across dozens of experts and professionals. Each class contains about 20 lessons — some more, some less — and the average class session runs about 10 minutes, with the shortest classes at about 5 minutes and the longest around 25 minutes. It’s great for when you have a few minutes to kill or even if you want to binge a whole class in a day! Even better, you can take classes from virtually anywhere: TV, desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. You can start a class while sitting on your couch in front of your TV and continue it while you’re waiting in a lobby for an appointment. Every class is easily accessible.
