Hey all,
I have some ideas that Im hoping with some help I can execute my plan. I see it all the time on this forum and I have also experienced it personally through addiction programs. Helping someone else by adding value to their life in turn helps you. I have some personal experience with addictions and sobriety and one of the main focuses on staying sober was helping someone else stay sober. When I first discovered this it sounded absurd to me, however when I began to practice it I was blown away by how effective it was in getting my own life on track. So for many years this was a daily practice for me and during this time I noticed a lack of help for fathers. Specifically single fathers.
It has now been many years since I have been apart of the recovery community, however I still see this void left for men with children inside and outside of that community. Being a single father for the majority of my daughters 14 years I have a passion for helping other men who may find themselves in this situation. I know that it's less common than a single mother but there are many single fathers, or even weekend dads struggling.
This past year my daughter and I purchased a Sprinter style van and set out to convert it into a camper van and travel the west coast and document everything. We completed the van build, however COVID put a huge damper on our travel plans. So that has unfortunately been put on hold. My intent was to use this as a means to not only spend time with my daughter and experience the country, but to also share this with other fathers in hopes that it might inspire them in some way.
Some other avenues I have considered are:
- Blogposts
- Email Newsletters
- Podcast
- Youtube Channel devoted to single dads
With all of this said I would ideally like to some how morph this into a subscription based model after some period of time adding value for free.
I have seen over the last few years a few guys I follow on youtube, launch books, start paid for coaching, monetize courses and subscriptions to their communities. How well do you think that this model will hold up long term?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Josh
