"Why spend $400,000 on a basic home... …when you can build your own for just $40k?"

[Cut to vibrant clips: hands building walls, solar install, foundation pour, cozy finished interior] "This isn’t a trailer. This isn’t a shoebox tiny house. This is a full-sized, eco-upgraded starter home — and YOU build it yourself."

[Quick montage: framing, plumbing, solar wiring, smiling team, hands-on learning] "At the Future Builder Academy, you don’t just watch. You DO. We are offering a 14 day Builder Crash Course. In just 2 weeks, you build a real house — foundation to solar, plumbing to thermal battery. You learn it ALL."

[Show tiny home on trailer pulling away, waving crew] "Then comes the Financial Independence Package. 6 weeks. You build your OWN 800 sq ft home. Take it home on a trailer. Drop it on your site. BOOM — housing solved."

[Inspirational music swell. Shots of nature, families, and hands working together] "We’re offering 6 FREE spots in our Founder’s Cohort for the FIP— Use our tools. Get our expert help. Bring your family or friends. Only requirement? Be committed. Show up. Build your dream. Document your journey so others can follow."

"This is your chance to be a world-builder. Affordable housing? It starts with you. Apply now. Spots will go FAST. Link in bio.

$100k Skid Steer for $20k

  • We built a dozen tractors already - LifeTrac_Genealogy. Our next one will be a 76 hp industrial grade skid steer for construction, utility and agriculture work.
  • Why spend $100k on an industrial skid steer with full remote control - when you can build your own for $20k?
  • We're not talking a low power skid - but full 76 hp
  • We are talking about lifetime design - with open source you own it and can fix it for ever
  • With OEM machines - you are at the mercy of your warranty, and you need to buy a new one in 5 years if you are doing industrial grade work
  • With open source, your machine lives for ever. And you can modify it.
  • Join the open source machine ecosystem
  • Build your own 76 hp skid steer - for $20k
  • And because our system is modular and scalable, you can readily add more Power Cubes for 110 or more hp.
  • So you can run any implement you can think of - and modify the machine with rear implements specialized for any task including telehandler or agricultural drawn-behind implements.
  • The choice is yours.
  • Build the future you want to live in.
  • In the Future Builder Academy.
  • Session starts Nov 1 until Christmas - so we can bring the next christmas gift to the world.
  • How do we do this? Open source design - not proprietary wares that you don't even own. Common off the shelf-parts - not expensive vendor lock-in. Full CAD model and CNC cut files so you can replicate. Modular so that any scaled up version goes up linearly in cost - not exponentially more expensive.
  • Think about the potential that this unlocks.
  • Now we are offering 4 builder spots - where 4 individuals or teams build their own in only 6 weeks. From November 15 to December 22 - only 5 weeks.
  • With global collaboration.
  • We teach machine design - and produce proved design guides - such as hydraulic construction set, microcontroller construction set, tractor construction set, and more.
  • Now we won't be making our own engines yet. That is for a future build.

Zillow Listing

  • Using the Zillow listing as a hook/focus.

“Learn to build this house in 5 days for $60k in materials with 6kW of PV included. We are teaching how to do this with 24 person, highly coordinated, collaborative crews. You can build from our open source blueprints, or run a crew - ” and make…$100k per house in 5 days (this is a crazy statement but it is absolutely authentic to what we aim to prove once we train a crew of 24) - if you are running a crew of 24. How is that even possible? With modular, open source design - plus global collaboration and teamwork.This is the house we are selling (show house). Not by ripping people off but by providing more value. The design is open source - intended to make affordable eco housing widely accessible (see OBI Infographic for how we build - it is missing the 5 day build of the 1400 sf home in the ‘achievements to date’) Thus, we contribute to public design, where you can download our plans from the internet for free. We make improvements in every iteration - with global collaborative design.. Next feature forthcoming is a thermal battery and 6 more kW PV- so your entire house can run off the grid for heating and cooling - saving the 60% of all emissions worldwide from grid electricity production. That is systems design. Enjoy the sun - which sends you no bills. Build a world you want to live in. Future Builder Academy. Build your future, become a world builder, and build the future you want to live in.

Thought: this is cheesy but may work - You think open source makes no money? Since I was broke, started doing open source, I made so much money that my 3D printed wallet started cracking at the seams.

How to ‘learn how to learn’

Rough Notes

Mini version of the module taught at the school.

We teach you to lead with moral intelligence to arrive at purpose - from which rapid Learning follows. Because deep drive for performance and learning comes from a deep desire to solve pressing problems - of which there is not a shortage. We teach you how to make accurate mental models of reality, how to design from a modular building block approach - where if you understand the basic building blocks, then you understand how to build just about anything. We do this by learning swarm collaboration so you tap the power of your cohort and act as a swarm brain - using online collaboration tools and real builds. Because we are studying how to.rebuild civilization from its broken state, we study broadly until we see patterns through many disciplines - we learn complex systems problem-solving - which can only be done in a holistic, integrated, interdisciplinary way - where you become homo deus in as much as that is humanly possible - by learning a mindset of abundance that can be used to solve any pressing issues. Because you get exposed to a survey, you get to explore your true calling - you find your true path, in an environment of immersive learning where you also teach - as we tackle integrated systems design and builds.

All right tldr. Here's how we really do it. First

“Learn 20 trades in the time it takes to learn one.” by swarm collaboration. Because of the swarm you collaborate in a cohort of 24 and build 6 homes in 6 months. You just go through builds faster.”

Second, obviously we must now learn: Numeracy 101 Literacy 101 Oracy 101 Emotional Literacy 101 Moral Literacy 101

And then you become like a Chinese wise man. Who told me, if you go to bed with an itchy ass, you're going to wake up with smelly fingers.

That's just the swarm aspect of effective thinking and logic. Mental hacks, mental models, numeracy - so we learn to to learn quickly using the fineman method and other basic techniques. Did you know that the most effective way to learn is not by not even by experience it's by teaching so we engage in both experience and teaching in our program. You can join us remotely for the learning how to learn sessions where you learn how to learn where you learn how to collaborate and learn how to be a human - character leadership humility performance growth mindset where you learn to welcome correction to culminate in an abundance mindset. Feynman Method for teaching. Learning by teaching - as the most effective way to learn even more than learning by doing or immersion.

But the biggest thing is: you are in a learning environment. Hands on at the Rapid Learning Facility. Surrounded by experts in Design Sprints where you design and build something with dozens of people around you and more globally. By collaborative literacy, where everyone gets on the same page because they truly understand work breakdown structures, product development workflow, standard practices of concurrent engineering, Second Toyota Paradox, Exttreme Manufacturing, Integrated Design - just to name a few of the techniques we use. All to form accurate mental models of reality - by time-binding, building upon open prior art, by general semantics. Surrounded by contributors who are selected for open-mindedness and willingness to learn - welcoming any correction.

Chat [3]

[Opening shot: You, on-site with a build in progress] 🎙️ "Want to learn 20 trades in the time it takes most people to learn one?"

[Cut to fast clips of students building, welding, wiring, plumbing] 🛠️ We do that. Because we learn by swarm collaboration. 24 people. 6 homes. 6 months. 🚀

[Cut to you at a whiteboard, scribbling diagrams + laughing] 🎙️ "We don’t just build homes. We build minds."

📚 Numeracy. Literacy. Oracy. Emotional and Moral intelligence. You’ll learn how to learn anything—and teach it too— Because the best way to learn... is to teach.

[Cut to funny reenactment of “itchy ass” Chinese proverb] 🎙️ “If you go to bed with an itchy ass… you wake up with smelly fingers.” 🧠 That’s logic, baby. 🧼

[Closing shot: group cheering, house complete behind you] 🎙️ "Join Future Builders Academy. Become a builder. A teacher. A leader. A system hacker. A world-changer."

🧱 This isn’t school. This is how we rebuild civilization.
