Is Masterclass worth the subscription?

1 min read

I’m Fred Faulkner, and this is my Masterclass.  If you are not familiar, Masterclass.com is an online learning site, but the difference between Masterclass and any other online educational site is the celebrity status it comes with.  Learn acting from Samuel L. Jackson.  Learn writing from Judy Blume.  Take cooking lessons from Gordon Ramsey!  With over 80 classes by celebrity instructors, there is no shortage of topics and content. 

I’ve been a subscriber for just over a year now.  In this podcast I thought I’d share my thoughts on the price of admission.  What I like, and what I don’t like. (Spoiler, there’s not much I don’t like). 

Masterclass has a lot to offer in regards to topics, but also the depth of the celebrities that it has accrued as instructors. Make no mistake, you are getting quality people. But you are also not getting a degree in any of these topics and courses. Masterclass, in my opinion, is a way to learn more about a passion, the thought process behind that passion, and then lessons and learning on how you can craft our own version of that passion. This isn’t Coursera where you could walk out with an online degree. Masterclass is fun, entertaining, and well put together with high production value.
