Our world is changing rapidly – the ground shifting right beneath our feet – and the rate of change is only going to accelerate – coming at us faster and faster.
How do we prepare not just to survive, but THRIVE in a world like that?
By being the most AGILE and ADAPTABLE hunters ever to tread the craggy peaks ahead.
Maybe it starts by asking,
“What is NOT going to change in the next 10, 20, 100 years?”
I believe it begins with asking the right QUESTIONS.
Will YOU help craft those questions?
Are you a Future-Proof Learner?
Skills, Traits, and Beliefs that will make you Unbreakable

Future-Proof Income
It can be difficult to focus on anything else when you don’t feel secure monetarily. Let’s put simple systems in place that leverage current tech to funnel large sums of cash our way with minimal time investment.

Future-Proof Mind
Our minds aren’t wired for exponential change. Test yourself: How far will you be in 20 steps? Easy enough to estimate. Average step is 3ft or 1 yard. About 20 yards. You can look across the room and probably guess where you’d land. But let’s now take exponential steps. First step is 1 yard and doubles every step. Step 2 is 2 yards, Step 3 is 4 yards, etc. Where would you be by step 20? Across the yard? Across the neighbor’s yard? Across the neighborhood?

Prologue: “What We Don’t Teach Our Kids”
As I roll over and open my eyes, I’m greeted by streams of sunlight filtering through green foliage dancing in mesmerizing patterns on the wall above me.
Sunrise and magic.
A surge of pure excitement-energy courses through me and I quickly clamber to the entrance to see what the new day brings. From the opening about halfway up the giant tree’s trunk, I survey the world over which I am king.
It’s time to start thinking about going back.
Sunlight sparkles on a bend in the stream that winds through the island a quarter mile to the northeast, and beyond in the distance a lone cloud shrouds the tip of the mountain dominating the terrain of my small kingdom. To the east, and directly in front of me, the sea sparkles in the bay a few miles off where the wave splashes revel in the joyous rays of sun.
As I swing out and start my descent to the forest floor I do the calculations. Two more days of training, and then I will go home.
Not that anyone will have missed me.
But with my usual prescience I can feel the reality distortion taking its toll.
How to Fire Your Boss (Nicely) And Make a Real Impact On the World
“It’s time for me to move on and do other things.” They were both surprised.
But you should have seen the looks of shock that jolted across their faces when I kindly declined a letter of recommendation with, “I don’t have any immediate plans to get another job.”
I jokingly told them that it was time for me to retire. Eyebrows went up. I didn’t look old enough to retire. “I might be a bit older than I appear,” I offered.
What I didn’t tell them was that I had consistently been making over $100/hour writing freelance direct response sales copy for the last couple of months. If I only wrote for 10 hours each week, I more than covered my school salary.
Nor did I tell them I had started a nearly passive side hustle 5 years before that was currently making monthly deposits equal to twice what my salary paid.
It was time to stop wasting my life mired down in bureaucratic paperwork. It was time to free myself up to do the truly important work in the world to which I was called – changing the way we approach education across the globe.

We need Exponential Learning!
Exponential Steps
Step 1: 1 yard
Step 2 : 2 yards
Step 3: 4 yards
Step 4: 8 yards
…
By step 20, you’re going 1,048,576 yards.
That’s over 595 miles.
