What is the case for investing in a community-based teaching model over solo courses?

Community-based teaching is more defensible, more profitable, and more aligned with how people actually change. A solo course is a one-time purchase — once the content is consumed, the transaction is over. A community is a recurring relationship. Members stay because of the people, not just the content. AI can generate curriculum on demand, but it cannot generate the experience of being part of a cohort that is figuring something out together. Community-based models also generate better word-of-mouth, higher lifetime value, and outcomes that self-paced courses cannot match.
