A bite-sized mini-course that helps busy dads validate an app idea, map the smallest useful version, and start building safely with Claude Code or Codex without breaking everything or starting over. 20 founding spots at $27, then it's $47 — closes Wednesday, July 8.
I'm building this course right now, module by module — the same way I'd teach you to build an app. Ship the smallest useful version, get real feedback, then make it better.
Here's the founding deal, and it's honest: the first 20 people get in at $27. After that it's $47. The founding pre-sale closes when the 20 spots are gone, or on Wednesday, July 8 — whichever comes first. When it's done, it's done. The price goes to $47 and the founding class is closed.
For that $27 you lock in the lowest price this will ever be, you get each video module the moment it drops, you get the starter templates today, and you get a say in what gets built.
You don't wait empty-handed. The moment you join, you get the starter templates (below) you can use right now.
You're a busy dad with an app idea and almost no time. Maybe young kids, a job, bills, and 45 minutes on a good night. You've poked at Claude Code, Codex, Replit, or Cursor. Maybe you got something working once, then broke it. Maybe you burned through your usage. Maybe you keep bouncing between ideas and never ship.
You don't need to become a software engineer. You need a calm, safe workflow that fits the time you actually have.
From: "I have an app idea but no clue how to build it safely."
To: "I know what I'm building, who it's for, what competitors miss, and how to start without wrecking everything."
You don't need 8 hours a day. You need the right workflow for the 45 minutes you've got.
1. Find the paid pain. Pick one idea. Use AI research to check if people already pay for something like it, what they hate about it, and what's missing. Stop guessing. Get proof people care before you build.
2. Shape the smallest useful MVP. Turn that idea into a clear, simple first version. Map the user flow. Decide what version one must do — and what to leave out. Build a landing page or waitlist before you build the whole app.
3. Build safe, ship small, get users. Use Claude Code or Codex to build the bare-bones version safely — strong context, clear goals, version control, no destructive breaks. Then get your first users, listen, and improve. Marketing first. Feedback second. Features only when feedback proves they matter.
Short, bingeable videos — 3 to 7 minutes each, made for nap times, work breaks, and late-night build sessions. One video, one clear action. No bloated modules.
Plus the templates and prompts that make it real: App Idea Filter, Competitor Research Prompt, Review Mining Prompt, MVP Feature Map, Landing Page Outline, Waitlist Copy Template, Claude/Codex Context Prompt, Safe Build Checklist, Version Control Starter Checklist, First 10 Users Outreach Script, and a weekly Build/Market/Improve Tracker.
I'm not a guru. I'm a dad who learned this the hard way.
I started using AI to fill my technical gaps before "vibe coding" was even a term. Early on, I didn't understand version control. I made bad commits. I broke apps. I had to start over more than once. Over time I figured out the safer, more engineer-like workflow — repos, branches, rollbacks, giving agents proper context, shipping real features without blowing things up.
Now I have a real app with real users, traffic, feedback, and revenue — built in the margins of dad life. That's the workflow I'm handing you here. Not theory. The actual path I walked.
The full 5-module video course — your idea to a shipped app ($97 value)
Every module as it drops. You watch me validate an idea, cut it down to the smallest useful version, and build it safely with Claude Code or Codex — no jargon, no breaking things, no starting over.
The complete template & prompt vault ($49 value)
The exact prompts and project files I use so you're never staring at a blank screen wondering what to type. Copy, paste, ship.
Starter templates you can use today ($29 value)
Don't wait for the course to finish. These get you moving on your idea the moment you join.
A real say in what gets built ($7 value)

Here's my promise. Join as a founding member, go through what's live, and use the templates. If you don't feel like you've got a clearer path to shipping your app — or it's just not what you hoped — email me within 14 days and I'll refund you. No forms. No "tell me why." No hard feelings.
You're pre-paying to help me build this. The least I can do is make sure you're never out the money if it's not right for you.

View profileThe proof is the page you're reading. Followrs — the storefront platform this sales page runs on — is my app. I built it as a non-engineer dad with Claude Code and Codex, in nights and nap times. First users: late January. Five months later: 144 users and $114 a month in recurring revenue. This course is that exact workflow, written down.
Receipts: Followrs MRR, built in dad-hours. Same workflow this course teaches.
Is this really a pre-sale?
Yes, and on purpose. The course is being built now, module by module. The first 20 people get the founding price of $27, then it's $47. You get the starter templates today, every video as it drops, and a say in what gets made. I'm doing exactly what Module 1 teaches: prove people want it before you build the whole thing.
What's the catch with the 20 spots?
Real scarcity, not fake. There are 20 founding spots at $27 — I DM and personally help every founding member, and I can't do that for more than 20 people. When the 20th spot is claimed — or the July 8 deadline passes — I raise the price to $47 and the founding class closes. No fake timers, no resets, no 'extended one more week.'
What do I actually get the moment I pay?
The App Idea Filter, the Competitor Research Prompt, and the Safe Build Checklist — plus your founding-member welcome with the full build timeline. Real value on day one, not weeks from now.
Tell me where you're stuck and I build the next module around it. You're not buying a finished shelf product — you're shaping it.
The founding price, locked forever (priceless)
20 spots at $27. It goes to $47 after. Lock it now and every future module is included at no extra cost.
——— Total value: $182 ———
You're getting all of it today for $27. That's the founding-member deal — it goes to $47 once the 20 spots are gone.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You need to read plain-English explanations and follow a simple, safe workflow. The whole point is building real things without becoming a full-time engineer.
I barely have time. Will this still work?
That's the whole idea. Every video is 3-7 minutes with one clear action. It's built for nap times, work breaks, and late-night sessions — not 90-minute lectures.
What if it's not for me?
Go through what's there, and if it doesn't help you, email me within 14 days of joining and I'll refund you. No forms, no hoops. I'd rather give your money back than have you feel you wasted it.
