How Paul Went from Idea to Live Course in Just 10 Days
The Backstory
Paul Banas is on a mission to help fathers be the best dads they can be. He had years of experience and a lot to share, but the idea of building an online course felt daunting. Technology wasn't his thing, and he worried he'd spend months just figuring out the tools before he could teach anyone.
What Was Getting in the Way
- He'd never built an online course and the tech felt intimidating
- Every platform he looked at seemed to have a steep learning curve
- He wanted to test his ideas with real people, not spend months setting up
- When questions came up, he needed someone to actually answer them
What They Were Hoping For
- Get his first course out the door as fast as possible
- Use something simple enough that tech wouldn't be the bottleneck
- Have a real support team he could turn to when he got stuck
- Create something professional that fathers would take seriously
