How Manuel Built a Decade-Long Teaching Practice That Changed Thousands of Lives
The Backstory
Manuel Puro is an acting coach and casting director whose teaching goes far deeper than technique. For him, acting is a path to self-discovery — and his students often say his courses changed their lives, not just their careers. But for years, his reach was limited to whoever could show up in person. He wanted to bring that kind of transformation online, which meant finding a platform he could trust for the long haul.
What Was Getting in the Way
- In-person coaching meant he could only reach people locally
- He needed a platform that could hold the depth of transformation-focused teaching
- Building a business on a platform means trusting it to be around for years
- He wanted real human support, not a ticket queue at a faceless company
What They Were Hoping For
- Reach aspiring actors around the world with teaching that goes deeper than technique
- Build something sustainable on a platform he could count on long-term
- Create a community where students connect with each other, not just with him
- Work with a team that genuinely cares about what he's building
