Bonus: How a 7-Figure Course Creator Used AI to Recession-Proof Her Business
Gemma Bonham-Carter has been making money online since before Instagram existed. After building a 7-figure education business helping over 20,000 entrepreneurs, she made a bold move: retiring multiple signature programs to go all-in on AI education in a market flooded with generic ChatGPT content. While most online educators struggled in 2025, Gemma had her best year yet and is now targeting $10M. The founder of AI All Stars and host of the annual AI Unlocked conference, Gemma is a recognized voice in the industry with features in Entrepreneur, Inc., Business Insider, and Fast Company. But what sets her apart isn't the accolades - it's how she thinks about AI as business infrastructure. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what actually made her recession-proof when others weren't, why she was confident enough to retire the offers that were working, and the one mindset shift that could move your business forward this week.
