Ah the old rise & grind trick of teaching other people to have grindset.

I went to his Twitter/website and the course is well marketed. But it's disqualifying to me that he's not building something else.

He's also part-time head of product (I think) at GumRoad.

Interesting - it's not on his LinkedIn and according to Twitter he no longer works there. But seems he was helping them on a contract basis for a bit.

Is there reason to doubt his "claim"?

His class costs $375.

It seems reasonable that he has 600 sales in a year.

no but making money by telling people how to make money is pretty friggin lame. i wouldn't want to take a course by someone who didn't make money via some other means
