IN THE MEDIA









STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS

 * Who is this course for?
   
   
   The primary audience we had in mind while designing this course was expecting
   dads whose partner is currently pregnant.
   
   However, we welcome anyone who thinks this course could help them on their
   parenting journey!
   
   That could include:
   
    * Men who are thinking about trying to become a dad
   
    * Men who are trying to conceive or adopt
   
    * Current dads who still want to do the personal growth and relationship
      work
   
   We also want to acknowledge that this first version of the course emphasizes
   just one particular parenting and relationship dynamic amongst many possible
   permutations. We both happen to be married men in heterosexual relationships
   with women who were able to conceive naturally without much complication.
   
   We know that this is not the only pathway to parenthood, and as we build upon
   the course in the future we want to make it more inclusive and representative
   of more diverse family experiences.
   
   

 * How is this different from / better than other resources for expecting dads?
   
   
   If you’ve checked out any of the expecting dad books, then you likely know
   why we felt so compelled to create this course… They’re about 1-2 decades
   outdated. They basically assume you just want to do the bare minimum to avoid
   divorce. “Don’t make your wife cook and do the dishes when she’s 8 months
   pregnant”.
   
   We started with a different premise. We created this program for the men who
   don’t accept the bare minimum. It’s for men who want to raise the bar on what
   it means to be a great father and husband. It’s for men who want to enter
   fatherhood feeling truly prepared, competent, and confident.
   
   So we don’t dumb things down and give you generic advice like “do some extra
   work around the house to help your pregnant wife.” We give you a detailed,
   step-by-step blueprint for becoming the best possible dad and partner you can
   be. And we’re confident that it’s 10x better than any other single resource
   out there.
   
   

 * Should I take the self-guided course or do the group program?
   
   
   The self-guided course is an amazing resource to help anyone prepare for
   fatherhood on their own schedule and timeline. We created that program to
   maximize accessibility for folks that can’t currently make the live program
   work with their schedules.
   
   But if you are able to make the live group program work with your schedule,
   we would highly encourage you to go that route. There is so much power in
   learning alongside a community of fellow dads and building those personal
   connections.
   
   

 * If I start off buying the self-paced course, can I upgrade to the live group
   program at a later date?
   
   
   Yes! If you start the self-paced course and then you decide you want to go
   deeper in a group setting, that’s totally doable. We would just need to sort
   out timing and figure out which upcoming cohort to add you to. Just email us
   at hello@fatherhoodunlocked.com and we’ll get you taken care of.
   
   

 * Can I enroll if I already have kids?
   
   
   For the self-paced course, yes. The course content and resources are a great
   way to invest in your personal growth and relationship — regardless of where
   you are in the fatherhood journey.
   
   For the live group program, we currently are limiting availability to
   expecting dads. The program is designed around connecting men who are at the
   same stage in the fatherhood journey, and it wouldn’t work as well if we had
   current dads mixed in.
   
   

 * How does the 14-day money back guarantee work?
   
   
   It’s very simple: if you’re unhappy with your purchase of either the
   self-paced course or the group program, just email us within 14 days and
   we’ll give you a full refund — no questions asked.
   
   We’re confident you’re going to love this program and see real results in
   very little time, so we want to remove any doubt from your mind if you’re on
   the fence about enrolling.
   
   

 * When should I take this course?
   
   
   Generally speaking, the sooner the better. This program is an investment in
   yourself and your relationship. The sooner you make it, the sooner you start
   seeing the dividends come in. And those benefits continue to grow over time
   as you invest more and more.
   
   But if you want more specific guidance based on your current timeline, here
   is our best guidance:
   
    * If your partner is already pregnant, then the sooner you can take the
      course, the better. This program is designed to help you out from the very
      beginning of the pregnancy journey through to the first few months
      postpartum. But also don’t worry if you’re only finding this and you’re in
      the third trimester — better late than never :)
   
    * If you’re trying to conceive, you could either start working through the
      course material now or wait until you’re pregnant. There is no big rush.
   
   

 * How long does the self-paced course take to complete?
   
   
   There are around 5 hours of video lessons and 5-10 hours worth of guided
   exercises and conversations to complete on your own time.
   
   We typically recommend you move through the course at whatever pace feels
   right for you given you current circumstance. We detail how to think about
   this in the intro module of the course, but here are a few potential paths
   you could take:
   
    * The slow burn: You’re early in the pregnancy journey, so you have plenty
      of time and can work through the course material at whatever pace feels
      right for you and your partner. We recommend going through most of the
      video content in the first few weeks so you understand the full picture,
      and then you can slowly work through the various exercises over several
      months.
   
    * The 11th hour crash course: You’re in the final 1-2 months (or maybe
      weeks!) of pregnancy, so you want to really crank through the course as
      quickly as possible. Maybe you only have time to consume the videos and do
      about 25% of the exercises before baby arrives. Don’t sweat it. You can
      always continue to work through this stuff over the coming months as you
      settle into parenthood.
   
    * The middle way: Or, if you’re somewhere in the midpoint of pregnancy, you
      probably want to work through most of the course material in the next 2-3
      months.
   
   

 * What if I can't make all the live sessions in the group program?
   
   
   If you know you’re going to miss 2 or more of the live sessions, we recommend
   you start with the self-paced course and then explore joining a future live
   cohort. The live program has lots of small breakout groups, and if you miss 2
   sessions you effectively miss 1/3 of the whole program.
   
   If you’re just going to miss one live session, don’t sweat it. We record
   every session so you can watch on your own time.
