Annual plans die without execution. Our 3-part process: (1) diagnose root issues, (2) define actions w/ owners & resources, (3) draft the plan—metrics, budget, Q1 rocks + 90-day reviews. Know a team that needs this before year-end? DM me.

78% of US 12th Graders are not proficient in Math, per the NAEP results that dropped this week.

Lots of (warranted!) despair on the timeline about the state of US K-12 education. But there are many good people behind the scenes doing the hard work to turn this around. Was great to spend a few hours at the Reagan Institute's Education Summit in DC with many such folks.

Suffering compels us to seek the God that success makes us think we don't need.

We *lowered* tuition for the majority of Primer families this year.

Could a cup of coffee change your life? ☕️ Mark your calendars! Joe with a Bro is coming soon. We believe that some of the most significant life shifts happen over a simple caffeine fix and a real conversation. It’s time to move past the surface level and kick off a journey
