How is this different from the free YouTube videos?

Members get the complete summaries with additional actionable insights, illustrated PDFs, worksheets, and the private podcast. The app’s curated courses give you a path to go deeper on a topic.

Where do I start, and how much time do I need?

Pick one course that fits a challenge you’re facing and aim for three summaries a week. Thirty summaries take ten weeks at that pace. A complete book summary is typically 12–15 minutes. Give yourself a little extra time to reflect or try the worksheet. Everything is self-paced.

Why join if I already use AI?

The Academy brings together Nathan’s selection of book ideas, animated explanations, and practical exercises. It’s an enjoyable way to build knowledge you can bring to your work—and to your next conversation with AI.

Can I use the Academy with my team?

This is an individual, self-paced membership. For group access or using the material in a lunch-and-learn, ask Nathan about your team.

What if I change my mind?
