THE STORY
EXPERIENTIAL LEARNINGS PLATFORMS + AUTHENTIC SOCRATIC TEACHING + ACADEMIC "SHOWRUNNING" AS A LEADERSHIOP STRATEGY
In 2018, I became an "echo chamber diversity hire" at a MAGA Bible college to stop civil war.
I started grad school on 9/11 to solve this crisis of code, culture, and Constitutional law.
- It worked: Got left/right + all religions to partner together on fixing AI and the tech dividing us.
- Then our city blew up. Twice.
