Hussey offers "Get the Guy" online tutorials, 7-hour seminars and $4,000 retreats periodically in the UK and the United States.[5] Seminars include diagnostics, gendered advice on how to approach, and lines and text messages tailored to various situations. The $10,000/hour price tag for his one-on-one coaching has attracted media attention and some controversy.[6]
