The Cave Academy · $750 a month

The four pillars, and an hour a week to work them.

A room, once a week, with me in it. Some weeks I teach one thing. Some weeks we work on whatever people brought. You run it in The Cave the other six days and I answer what comes back. This is the groundwork everything else gets built on.

Tuesdays, 1pm Eastern Start any week Cancel anytime

Everyone starts with the F4 assessment, whichever program they end up in. About ten minutes, and then I go through it with you before you join.

Who this is for

For where you are in the run.

The people I work with privately have usually been in the seat ten years or more, with enough behind them that the fee is not a question they have to think about. You are earlier than that. You are carrying real weight already, and you are carrying it mostly on effort.

Effort works. That is the trap. It works long enough that you build your entire operating system around it, and the bill arrives much later, usually all at once.

I built and sold five companies on effort. The first three nearly cost me the things I was supposedly building them for. I did not learn that from anyone. I learned it the morning after an exit, when the number in the account fixed nothing at all.

Nobody taught me any of this while it would still have been cheap to learn. That is what the room is for.

The system

Four pillars, and the order is the point.

F4 is not a business framework. It is how a whole person holds together under load, and it runs in one direction.

First

Fitness

The body and the physical base. Health, energy, strength, movement, food. It sits at the center, and when it goes, everything downstream goes with it.

Second

Focus

The disconnect. Stillness, chair time, deep thought, reading, less phone. Getting off the treadmill is what produces clarity. Working harder is the opposite of this pillar, not more of it.

Third

Fraternity

The people. Real relationships, close friends, family, the person at home. Not doing it alone, which is the easiest thing in the world to let slide when you are busy.

Fourth

Finance

The money. The business, security, freedom. It comes last on this list for a reason, and almost everyone tries to fix it first.

The rhythm

How a week actually works.

One standing hour with me, and a system running quietly underneath the rest of it.

Sunday or Mondayabout fifteen minutes

You plan the week in The Cave

The weekly HAF. What the week is for, what moves, what you are protecting. It is due Monday, which is why we meet on Tuesday.

Tuesday, 1pm Easternone hour, every week

The room

I decide what each week needs. Some weeks that is me teaching one pillar and setting what everyone is working on. Some weeks it is working through what people actually brought with them. It is live, and it is the one hour I ask you to protect.

Between Tuesdayswhenever it lands

A video from me

A question, a push, something I have been thinking about. Answer it with your own video if you want to. I watch them and I answer back.

All monththe part that compounds

The Cave holds the rest

Your goals from the far one down to today, your daily check-ins, the monthly look back, and a record of what you actually did. Message me in there any time.

The price

$750 a month.

Cancel any time. No contract, no upsell inside the room, nothing else to buy. Everyone in the Academy gets the same thing, and you start the week you decide to.

Legend is $2,500 a month with three months to start, and it does considerably more than an hour a week ever could, because it is built around one person and goes wherever that person needs it to go. The Boardroom does more again. The Academy is not a cheaper version of either. It is the groundwork, taught properly, at a price that makes sense earlier in the run.

What costs more than the money is one protected hour every Tuesday, and being willing to put the real thing on the table in front of people who will remember it.

Straight about it

What this is not.

It is not one on one.

I am teaching the room, not sitting on your calendar. You get me live every week, and personally through video and messages. You do not get a standing private session.

It is not a course you finish.

There is no certificate and no end date. The four pillars are not something you complete, they are something you run, so the room keeps meeting for as long as you want to be in it.

It is not Legend, and it is not the Boardroom.

Legend is private and one to one, and it goes far past anything an hour a week can reach, because it follows one person into their business and their life. The Boardroom goes further still. Both of those start with the Intensive, four sessions and thirty days, so nobody commits to the long version before finding out how it actually feels. If that is what you need rather than this, I will tell you so when we go through your assessment, instead of taking your $750 and letting you find out slowly.

Getting in

Three steps, and the middle one is a conversation.

Nobody joins anything here without us going through their assessment together first.

STEP ONE

Take the assessment

The F4 assessment, about ten minutes. No call attached. It shows you where your four pillars actually sit right now, which is worth doing whether or not you ever join.

STEP TWO

We go through it together

I read your four pillars back to you and tell you what I actually see. Partly so you get something real out of the ten minutes, and partly because I want to be sure this is what you need. Sometimes it is not, and I would rather say so.

STEP THREE

You are in the next room

Whichever Tuesday comes next. A short video walks you through how The Cave works before you get there, and your first plan is due the Monday before it.

The way you run now is the way you will keep running.

Whatever system you are building this year is the one you will still be running years from here, whether you chose it on purpose or it simply accumulated. This is the room where you choose it on purpose.
