I strive for quality videos.
But don't take my word for it...
To recap, you get...
14+ hours of my best psych insights- 5 courses (with more on the way)
- Certificates of completion for all courses
- Immediate access to new content
- Quality time with yours truly :)
How often do you add new content?
I try to add 1-2 videos every month.
How does this content compare to your free content?
School of Mind is focused on practical applications. Most of the information isn't available in my books, guides, or YouTube videos. If anything, I keep the best stuff in School of Mind. If everybody knew about these techniques, then they'd be less effective.
What topics will you cover in the future?
I'll be adding material to existing courses (e.g., pricing, selling), and I'll be creating new courses (e.g., negotiation, product design).
