What if everything you’ve been told about education, success, and preparation for the future is wrong? In this conversation with Matt Smith, co-author of The Preparation, we dive into a radical new framework that challenges the traditional path of college and shows how to cultivate real independence, resilience, and skill stacking instead.

You’ll hear how Matt’s own son transformed from anxious and uncertain into confident, capable, and entrepreneurial—through a process that any ambitious person can apply at any age. From welding and EMT training to entrepreneurship cycles and personal codes of conduct, this isn’t just about learning skills—it’s about becoming the kind of person who thrives no matter how fast the world changes. If you’re ready to escape the old script, take control of your future, and build a life of freedom and substance, this episode is your blueprint.
