12-week curriculum
Every week, something new is live in your business.
This is not lecture-style learning. You bring your business; you leave every class with something implemented. Open any week to see what you’ll learn, what you’ll build in class, and the tools you’ll use.
01 Diagnose
We start with a personal tech assessment — no cookie-cutter curriculum. We learn your business first.
02 Train
Weekly hands-on classes at Southern Lion. Small cohort. Real instructors. Real questions answered.
03 Implement
We help you set it up in your actual business — website, payments, AI tools, marketing — all live by graduation.

The same 12 modules — on your schedule.
- All 12 modules as on-demand video lessons.
- Downloadable step-by-step playbooks for every module.
