Great questions.
When does the course launch?
Early 2027. The waitlist hears first, which is roughly the only time in parenthood you'll be early for anything.
How long is it?
53 short episodes of a few minutes each. A few hours in total, not a few months. Watch it on the couch, on the train or in the hospital parking lot.
Is it only for dads?
It's built for him. If she wants to watch along, nobody's stopping her.
Is it made for the US?
Yes. The medical system, paternity leave, costs and gear advice are all US-based.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. The course comes in the Ready Dad Gift Set, coming soon. See the gift page for more. Gifts for dads
Is any of it AI?
No. Real people, real homes, real experts. No AI presenters, no AI voices, no suspiciously perfect stock families.
Be the dad who shows up ready.
