About

Hi, I'm Lucas Marino.
I created Marino Training for people just like you...

You may find me familiar... we share a common journey. We spent years developing professional competence, building an identity, and serving others. Eventually, the desire to share our knowledge with others becomes a calling. We take action.

We write a book to establish our credibility and authority. But wow, book royalties build sloooooooowly. So, we build a profitable course to monetize the knowledge in the book (smart!).

When I started, I did what many entrepreneurs do: quick math to determine startup costs and got started as a one-dude show. This is where the fun and the pain coincided.

I wish I had an organized program and community to guide my course launches, reduce my costs, teach me the systems, and connect me with resources.

Which brings us to today. You want to build courses of your own and I can help you. Let's go!
