The accountability you've been missing.

Maybe you've tried using SQL before. But, time and time again, you're forced to quit. What starts off as exciting and new becomes too difficult. Something comes up and – let's face it – Excel is "good enough."But this is because there was no accountability.You tried to start using SQL on your own, almost doomed from the start.But Solving with SQL solves that problem once and for all. You build your SQL code alongside others with the same goal as you.This creates accountability, unlike anything you've ever experienced.

Stop losing motivation.

Let's be honest.If you're reading this, you know you should start using SQL for your digital marketing campaigns and projects. Since "learn SQL" found its way onto your to-do list, you've seen dozens of others do it successfully, building reports, automating their work, and getting promotions and new job opportunities.But for one reason or another, you've been putting it off. And it's probably some combination of procrastination, perfectionism, and fear of being labeled as an "impostor" that's holding you back.Fortunately, Solving with SQL will get you to the other side. From wannabe-analyst to the go-to person when there's a marketing question from your boss.And once you make that leap, you'll never look back.

Apply the SQL you learn.

Most digital marketers get an itch to learn SQL when vendor tools and reports no longer do the trick. Your boss asks for a report that you KNOW needs data from two different systems.Sweating over a hot keyboard just to try and get Excel to do exactly what you need with VLOOKUPs and pivot tables when you KNOW that the report is going to change and your messy (but kinda working) solution is going to bust apart at the seams.No thanks.Instead, you start small with bite-sized SQL solutions that work using YOUR data. Then you build from there.During Solving with SQL, you'll create and use a complete SQL database from scratch that you can use to answer questions more quickly, develop insights more deeply, and automate your work to save you time.At the end of the 30 days, you'll be able to apply everything you learn about SQL.

Hey there! I'm Brian.I've been using SQL to solve real-world business problems since 2005 or so. I first got started when a co-worker of mine was feeling super frustrated with a complex process that involved an Access database, some Excel files, and a few reports.She was in "crunch mode" to deliver her work and her Access DB kept crashing. I knew a small amount of SQL from some previous attempts at learning SQL, but this was the first time I REALLY had a problem that needed solving.I helped rewrite the messy, broken Access SQL into something that would actually work and the rest is history. I was hooked!From there, I enrolled in University and specialized in Computer Science with a concentration in database management. I just loved the fact that data was a tool that solved so many business problems.Over the years, I considered getting more into the database management side of things (the more "technical" side) but I kept getting drawn back to the "business" side. I didn't really want to spend my time optimizing queries, building out architecture, or debugging arcane SQL issues and be on call.I wanted to solve business problems with SQL. That's what I loved doing. And that's what I still love doing.After a while, I found that I REALLY loved working with sales and marketing data the most. It's where the action happens in the business world. Sales and marketing are the lifeblood of every business and I LOVE being the go-to data expert for my coworkers and colleagues.I have coached and taught database concepts and SQL fundamentals to dozens (if not hundreds) of people over the years. From the very basics of SQL and business intelligence, up to strategy and product management, I've held many different positions in the data industry for 15+ years.I created Solving with SQL to share what I know about SQL. Not just the syntax. You can watch a dozen different YouTube videos to learn SQL syntax. My intention with this course is that you'll actually master the fundamentals of SQL and be able to solve real-world digital marketing problems with everything you learn.And the best part? Solving with SQL is just getting started.And I'd love to you have join me for the launch!

What others are saying...

I’ve paid over $2500 for an online course with an Ivy League college, thinking it must be robust and top-notch SQL training. It was the opposite.Brian’s SQL course crushes it. Brian breaks down the modules with video tutorials and screen shares that make you feel you’re learning side by side vs. an abyss of a giant infinite online classroom.He goes at a pace that a beginner can actually absorb. Learning tips and tricks from others, and applying them to actual databases/queries we all have access to is invaluable.Finally! An online SQL course that is doing it right!– Jenn T., SQL Student & Coaching Client

I enrolled in two other courses that didn’t cater to my learning style. Brian's SQL Course is a versatile course where I’m finally feeling confident I will be successful! It offers visualizations, step-by-step instructions, a private student community, and more.I actually look forward to diving into the course because of its structured modules. Brian and his team really care about your success, you can see it in the design and structure of the course and the community support.Thank YOU!
– Amanda M., SQL Student

I've never written a testimonial for anything online. Brian’s coaching session is one of the most well-put-together coaching experiences I've ever done.The information he shared is practical and the advice he gave is easy to implement, and more importantly effective. I’m stepping into a part of my professional career where I have the time to develop a freelancing side hustle.Brian took the time to ask me questions about my current skills and passion and then provided a directed approach to acquire my first client. Brian has my unreserved recommendation and if you need professional advice from someone who has over a decade of experience in data then he’s your person.– Danny V., SQL Coaching Client
