Guides, Not Lecturers
A traditional teacher gives you answers to memorize. A guide from our Mentor Collective helps you ask better questions and find your own answers. They are not here to lecture; they are here to challenge, direct, and hold you accountable.
Our mentors are industry veterans, seasoned entrepreneurs, and master craftspeople—not just academics. Their wisdom is practical because they have built real things and failed in the real world.
How You Build Your Personal Faculty: A Case Study
The concept of "faculty" here is fluid. It is a team you build. Let's look at an example of a student deeply interested in history and strategy.
Student Mission:
To become a strategic advisor who uses historical patterns to predict modern geopolitical shifts.
This student didn't enroll in a "History Department." Instead, they crafted a personal faculty panel to help them achieve their unique goal. Their panel for the first year included:
-
A Military Historian:
To understand the principles of ancient warfare and strategy (e.g., studying Sun Tzu and Clausewitz). -
A Data Scientist:
To learn how to analyze historical data to find hidden patterns and trends. -
A Political Journalist:
To learn how to synthesize complex information into clear, actionable intelligence reports.
This unique combination of mentors is what we call their "Faculty of History & Strategic Studies." It is a faculty of one, built for one mission. Another student with a different goal would have a completely different faculty.
This is the core of our model. Your faculty is not a place you go to; it is a world-class team you build around your ambition.
