Hi, I keep trying to buy this course but the website seems to be broken. There’s no option for payment when I hit “But this course.” The message I’m receiving is “No payment methods is available.” Could you let me know how to pay for this?
Hey Ben! Sorry about the tech issue right now. We are currently undergoing some website construction, and should be up in a few weeks (shooting for beginning of November). Apologies for the inconvenience. I’d love to give you a discount coupon for the course once it’s back up. Is the email you used to submit this ok to use for that? Thanks! And I appreciate your interest in the course!
