The Preparation is not just a book
It's a blueprint for young men to escape the conveyor belt of conventional life and forge their own path.
The Preparation is not just a book—it’s a blueprint for young men to escape the conveyor belt of conventional life and forge their own path. In a world where college often leaves graduates in debt, unskilled, and uninspired, The Preparation offers a radically different route: four years of deliberate, skill-stacking adventure that builds competence, confidence, and character.
Five Key Points from the Book:
Reject the Default Path – College is no longer a guaranteed ticket to success. The Preparation dismantles the myths around higher education and shows you how to create a life of opportunity without drowning in debt.
Become Competent, Confident, and Dangerous – This is more than self-defense; it’s about becoming a person who can think independently, act decisively, and adapt to any challenge.
The 16 Cycle System – Sixteen three-month programs—ranging from EMT training to sailing near Cape Horn—each designed to deliver immersive, hands-on skills while building a portfolio of achievements that compound over time. 16 “anchor” courses combined with academic courses taught by some of the best professors in the world will leave any young man miles ahead of his peers.
Important Lessons and Real-World Economics – Learn what actually matters: sound money, entrepreneurship, history, and the ability to recognize and seize opportunities—taught by men who have lived it.
Adventure and a Global Network – Instead of four years in a lecture hall, you’ll spend them in the mountains, on ranches, in the cockpit of a plane, on the deck of a ship—meeting exceptional people and stacking valuable experiences.
Going to college isn’t nearly what it used to be and young men are more unsure than ever of what to do with their lives. This book is for those young men who are uncertain of what to do and for the parents and grandparents who love them.
