Whatever it is, if you’ve been dreaming about it for a long time, but not acting on it, here is your chance to get shit moving.
In this class you’ll figure out what’s been keeping you from launching your weird thing. And then, together, we’ll put together a plan to break down the barriers.

Tom Merritt is a prolific tech journalist who expertly balances a deep-seated passion for the future of silicon chips with an equally intense, slightly suspicious obsession with the secret lives of squirrels and the culinary merits of canned meats.
Andrew Heaton is a sharp-witted political satirist and sci-fi enthusiast who once spent six months living in a toolshed, serves as a royal diplomatic envoy for the micronation of Hutt River, and has a professional history of consuming beating rattlesnake hearts and gambling at wiener dog races.
Justin Robert Young is a Billboard-chart-topping comedy creator who co-authored a crowd-sourced parody of Fifty Shades of Grey, manages a card game centered on presidential debate, and has spent over a decade documenting “the best of the worst of the internet” while exploring the mysterious intersection of magic and weirdness.
