The Founder's Guild

In the past few months, I have been wrenching on new ways to make people learn. Learn the stuff that they need to become successful at their jobs. Learn a new skill. Just learn. All of the current options suck. I have tried a lot, and there is not a lot out there that meets even close to the demands I seek in terms of learning something new.

I want people to start learning instead of consuming content. I want people to build origami instead of watch someone build origami. I want people to be able to do useful things: some for fun, some for profit (if desired). I want people to learn.

As I go down this path, I see that I am fighting an uphill battle. So many smart people already, but too often, they focus on one particular area without exploring the depths of their knowledge. They need to learn something new, without asking their boss for the permission to take a week off for education. Or maybe more importantly, learn what is new? Or maybe a better question is: what is what should I learn today?

We can't spend all day learning, so we need to make the best of our time. How do we do that? 

That is what I need to find out. So far, there have been no subscriptions to The Founder's Guild, but I have not forged a plan that is ready to do my most fearful task: marketing. I know a miniscule of this. I want to learn, but I fail in this. I have not learned enough in marketing. Hence, my failure so far.

That will bring in the first customer. Hopefully.
