The World Needs What You Know
I help mission-driven founders turn expertise into lasting programs — without giving everything just to make a difference.
The gap between what is and what could be is painful.
Ask me how I know.
As a learning strategist, I've spent more than two decades designing experiences that don't just deliver information, but drive behavior change.
And my lived experience taught me the cost of leaving a program unfinished and in your head — energy and income diluted, year after year.
Now I help clients combine their expertise and hard-won wisdom into scalable learning that moves people to action.
What if the most powerful thing an expert can do isn't just be excellent at their work — but teach it in a way that lives beyond them?
The Official Bio
Suzi Hunn founded Teach Your Thing in 2017 to help changemakers amplify their impact through education experiences that expand audiences and create income streams. Her book, Big-Hearted Entrepreneur, makes the case that "mission or money" is a false choice.
With twenty years of developing learning tools across nonprofits, schools, and social enterprises, Suzi's largest project was coordinating Northern Lights, a history curriculum reaching sixty thousand sixth graders annually through the Minnesota Historical Society.
She brought that same expertise into the Teach Your Thing Toolkit, a signature framework she uses in cohort programs and one-on-one engagements with clients reimagining healthcare, humanizing workplaces, and advancing equity.
I believe your hard-won wisdom is worth sharing. And worth paying for.
If you’ve been told not to care about money because you work from the heart — it’s time to stop listening.
The most mission-driven people I know are often the last ones to build something that actually works for them — so focused on serving others that they forget they're also the thing that needs protecting.
Every program we build together is designed to reach more people and sustain you. Because a program that burns you out won't last. And a program that doesn't last won't change anything.
I call my clients loving disrupters.
They're consultants, practitioners, founders, and leaders who have built something real — a method, a body of knowledge, a proven approach — and who are ready to share it more widely without sacrificing their own wellbeing.
You might be a loving disrupter if:
You love your field, but it’s lost its way. Your heart’s broken and you’re pissed off, but you refuse to give up.
You’re tired. It’s time to stop saying yes to everything and build something repeatable.
Helping others is your motivator. Money increases impact, and you’re ready to make more of both.
How to Think About Teaching What Your Know
I call my method The Three Cs. No matter what program you’re building, we’ll explore: What content goes into what container to bring the change you want to see?
CASE STUDY
A Surgeon & Healthcare Executive Turned His Knowledge into a Repeatable Offer
Todd R. Otten, M.D., is a former Naval Flight Surgeon, retired Chief of Staff, and unapologetic advocate for the doctor-patient relationship. Alongside his patient, Joshua J. Judy, he makes the case that humanity and business must coexist.
Their book Ripple of Change tells their story of health trauma and human connection, while sparking a sorely needed discussion on today’s healthcare system.
Todd came to Teach Your Thing ready to amplify this message. Together, we developed a 90-minute keynote with worksheets prompting action from executives, providers, and patients alike.
Within 6 months Todd had delivered the keynote, used it to co-host a program with an aligned leader, and built a new income stream that increased business by 10% – 25%.
