🔥 Grow your course revenue up to 30% in 7 days - no paid ads, no sales calls 📈 https://datadrivenmarketing.co/roadmap

What if you could build a six-figure course business while keeping your full-time job... and only working on it 1-2 hours a day?

That's exactly what Michael Kilkelly has done with Arch Smarter, his course business helping architects and engineers work smarter, not harder.

But here's what makes Michael's story different. He actually did it backwards. He spent 10 years working for himself as a consultant, built up his course business, and then took a full-time job. Most people are trying to do the opposite.

In this episode, Michael shares why having a day job actually makes his courses better, how he cut his course setup time from two weeks down to 10 minutes, and his "less is more" philosophy for 2026. We also get into how he survived massive layoffs early in his career by teaching himself a skill that made him irreplaceable.

If you've ever wondered whether you can build a real course business without quitting your job, this one's for you.
