Has the work you love turned into a job?

Growth costs you more hours

To gain subscribers, do you find yourself producing more episodes, writing more articles and spending more evenings at the desk?

You are only as known as your last post

You have produced hundreds of posts and episodes. Do you find it frustrating that the platform only shows and shares the latest one, when the hundred before it are just as good?

Your intelligence is locked in old work

Your best ideas, frameworks and thinking are locked inside old work. Do you find yourself reminding subscribers that you covered this before, or writing it again so they see it?

If any of that is true, the work you love has started behaving like a job. The more you produce, the more it asks of your time and your energy.

There is a better way, and it is called Academy

Academy is where you put your best ideas: the things your audience loves most, the work you worked hard to produce, in one place you can always send people to. Structured and architected how you want, designed around what you want to say. It becomes the home where your subscribers can always engage with your most in demand thinking.

It is easy to get started

You have already done the work. Your ideas and your intelligence are distributed across your podcast, your articles and your recorded calls. Academy brings them all into one place, so getting started means uploading what you already have.

It does most of the work

Academy uses established learning frameworks, and our team’s experience in adult and corporate education, to reformat your ideas into something easy to digest, easy to learn, and ready for your audience.

It complements the work you do

Academy does not replace any of the work you do. When you write the next article, release the next episode or share the next post that travels, you have somewhere to direct people. They engage with your best ideas in depth, they sign up, and they stay connected, so you are no longer waiting on the next time something goes viral.

Shape it the way you want

You decide what gets published and what does not. Focus on one area or cover many. And you decide whether you charge for a course or offer it to your subscribers as a bonus.

What Academy gives you

Fully anonymised

Client names, personal details and identifying specifics are removed from your material before any of it reaches a model, and you get a report of what was removed.

Works from your text

Transcripts of podcast episodes and calls, articles, talks, documents and slide notes. Whatever you already have in words.

A course in hours

Upload in the morning and read a first draft the same day. The reading and the writing happen while you do something else.

Traced to the source

Every teaching links back to the file it came from, so you can check any line against what you actually said.

Nothing publishes itself

Lessons arrive as drafts. You read, cut and approve. Nothing reaches a subscriber because a model decided it was ready.

One address to share

A single link for your bio, your show notes and your signature, and private access codes for the people you invite.

Academy works with your existing platforms

Academy supports the work you do, and gives the people who love your work one home to go to.

FAQ

Is Academy for me?

Academy is for people whose knowledge is already published and already scattered. If you have been at this a while, two years of episodes or a hundred posts or a shelf of recorded calls, and you cannot hold all of it in your head, Academy is built for you. It fits if people find you through one recent thing and never see the rest. It fits if you get asked the same questions often enough that you can hear yourself answering them. It fits if people come to you for your method, and there are only so many ways to cover the same ground in new episodes and articles. It is not a fit if you are starting out and have little published yet, or if what you want is to film and sell one flagship course.

What can I put into Academy?

Transcripts of your podcast episodes, recorded calls and talks, plus blog posts, articles, documents and slide notes. If you have audio or video, transcribe it first and upload the text.

How much material do I need?

We recommend roughly 20 to 40 substantial pieces per subject, or somewhere around 50,000 words. Depth on one subject matters more than the total: ten thorough pieces on a single topic will produce a better course than forty spread across ten topics. Academy reads what you upload and tells you which subjects have enough behind them to become a course. If none of them do yet, it says so rather than writing a thin course.

Is AI used to create the courses?

Yes. Academy uses leading AI models, and the courses are assembled from your words. First it finds the teachable material in what you uploaded. Then it connects those pieces into a structure a learner can follow. Where there is a gap, it fills it using established learning frameworks rather than inventing material you never covered. Every teaching is traced back to the file it came from, so you can check any line against what you actually said.

What happens to private details in my material?

Client names, personal details and identifying specifics are stripped out of your material before any of it reaches a model. You get a report of what was removed so you can check the list.

How many courses will I end up with?

It depends on how much ground your material covers and how much depth it has. Academy aims to produce courses that give your subscribers real value, built on your own material and your own ideas. If a subject does not have enough behind it, Academy tells you before it writes anything.

Do I have to change how I publish?

No. Keep your newsletter, your podcast and your posts exactly as they are. Academy sits alongside them and gives each one somewhere to send people. Nothing has to be re-recorded and nothing has to be filmed.

Does this compete with my newsletter or my podcast?

No. Your newsletter and your podcast are how people find you, and each one introduces a single idea at a time. Academy is where you send someone who wants to go through your thinking in depth and in a structured order. Your articles do what articles do, your podcast does what a podcast does, and Academy adds the educational layer that neither of them can.

Do I own the courses, and can I charge for them?

You own your courses on every plan, including the free one, and you can take them with you. Today you invite people with an access code and Academy takes nothing, because it does not process learner payments yet. When paid enrollment launches, the plan is a share of each sale: 12% on Free, 6% on Pro and 3% on Managed. If you charge nothing, there is nothing to share.

How long does it take?

Allow a few days to gather your material, since that is the part that takes your time. Once you upload it, Academy reads everything and comes back within hours with the subjects it found and the courses it proposes. From there the time is yours: reviewing the drafts, cutting what you do not want and asking for changes. Most people have an Academy ready somewhere between a few days and two weeks, depending on how much they upload and how much they revise.

What do my subscribers get?

A private address to work through, with lessons in order, foundations for anyone new to your thinking, a glossary in your terms, and exercises they take into their own work. You invite them with an access code, and you see who finished, who stalled and on which lesson.

Your intelligence is timeless. Now let it work for you.
