FAQ

  • Can I purchase just the months I want?

    Yep, individual months will be available as they come up. This page is the one-stop-shop to get all of them.

  • Can I see the schedule?

    Here's ya go! They don't map EXACTLY to my existing courses, I'm making some improvements.

    • Sept: Risk & Safety frameworks
    • Oct: Non-linear pedagogy
    • Nov: The “good” class: unpacking bias.
    • Dec: Scaffolding creativity
    • Jan: Applied theories of motivation
    • Feb: Optimal challenge theory
    • March: Authority/obedience, Culture/community
    • April: Switching to self-directed conditioning
    • May: How to talk about uncomfortable things like food, body shape, fitness, and late-stage capitalism
  • Why do I only get the recording for one month?

    OK, if you miss a month you can ask nicely and I'll send you the recording again. It's an incentive to get people to actually watch the thing they paid for. I WILL commit to pretending that it's real. If you don't get to it and request your access back I'll send it to you.

  • I missed the start in September, can I still sign up here?

    YES! If you sign up after September 2025 I'll send you the recordings of the classes you missed. You'll end up with all nine whether you like it or not (unless you purchase them individually).

Pay what you can

You can either make a one time payment and get the whole series, or you can pay monthly!
