Launching Learn21!

A good day to you!

I know you're trying hard.

Managing up and down, putting out fires in both directions. Drowning in emails during the day, then watching YouTube videos at night hoping something clicks. Waking up the next morning no further along than you were the day before.

You're putting in the effort, but there's no system to see what is actually working.

I built something for this challenge.

Learn21 is a 21-day guided experience to install a learning system that you'll use for the rest of your life. This is not a series of productivity hacks, nor theory you cannot apply. This is a real system that shows you where you are, where you're going, and what to try next.

I've spent my whole life helping people believe growth is possible — as a captain for sports teams, a coach, and a teacher. My job has always been the same: Help someone see they're capable, then give them the tools to prove it to themselves.

Learn21 is how I'm doing that now.

This is for you if you've ever thought "I should be further along by now" — and you believe change is still possible.

The first cohort begins Monday, February 3rd.

The Learning Engine 1 February 2026 Learn21 — A Redesign That Expanded What Was Possible A good day to you! I want to share a moment when I saw the principles of learning work deeply — from the results of my physics students. In 2018, I moved from teaching high school physics in South Carolina to an international school in Singapore. I was hired partly to take over AP Physics C — known as one of the hardest courses in the school — from a teacher who had taught the course for over 20 years....

The Learning Engine 30 January 2026 Learn21 — What D1 Soccer Taught Me About Life and Learning A good day to you! I want to share a story of starting from behind — and what the experience taught me about life and learning. In the second semester of my freshman year in college I walked on to a D1 varsity soccer team. I had been a four-year starter in soccer at a small high school in southwest Virginia — plus excelling in football and basketball. I thought I had what I needed to make the D1...
