"I never let schooling get in the way of my education." - Mark Twain
This quote has guided my journey from accounting major to tech entrepreneur to education innovator. While I value my formal education, my real learning came from doing – building companies, mentoring founders, and working behind the scenes with today's top influencers.
As a three-time founder who's built and scaled multiple multi-million dollar companies, I've seen firsthand how traditional education often lags behind real-world opportunities. My companies Deal Current Network and Lightpost Digital served over 1,200 clients combined, but more importantly, they taught me that success comes from practical skills and the ability to adapt quickly.
My role as the #1 globally ranked mentor for Founders Institute and my experience founding Venture School in St. Louis showed me the power of hands-on education. Working anonymously with top influencers revealed a new truth: the creator economy isn't just changing entertainment – it's revolutionizing how we learn and earn.
Creator Studios is more than a business – it's the foundation for what we're calling the Academy of Possibilities. In a world where college costs are skyrocketing and traditional career paths are evolving, we're building a new model of education. One that combines practical skills with immediate earning potential. One that proves anything is possible when you have the right guidance and opportunities.
The future of education isn't just about degrees – it's about possibilities. And we're creating them, one creator at a time.
