Narrative

Do you want to become a civilization builder, and solve pressing world issues for a living? Welcome to the world of rapid, integrated learning. In the first year, you learn to build the Seed Eco-Home - not one trade but 17 trades that allow you to build a complete house - our Seed Eco-Home. We run a 4x10 scheudule, and one day is school time for movement entrepreneurship. If you make it through the first year, we will hire you at a pay scale that would normally take 10 years for an average master carpenter to achieve.

What are we doing here? We are developing a bootstrap funding mechanism for lifelong learning for world transformation. We believe in the Housing Theory of Everything - ie, housing is a very important sector to get right - as a multitrillion dollar global market.

If you are considering tech school as you may not be sure you want to go to college and work in a cubicle - consider our alternative.

The only requirement is that you want to become excellent - by learning the Art of Possibility

Candidate Clarity

  • 18-26 YO though negotiable - growth mindset, reaching for the stars, farmer work ethic, excited by possibility, fundamental interest in doing great work, and seeking humble immortality.
  • High performance (can build) high trust is ideal.
  • Builders for 100% effort. Do carpenters work 40 hour weeks? Yes [1]. See industry standard work conditions [2]
  • Select for farmer work ethic.
  • Learning mindset. Select for people who ideally want an accelerated learning track (functional proficiency in 17 Trades compared to a single trade in the same time in a regular pathway)
  • Performance culture. We are looking for people interested in performance culture.
  • Build Transcendent Culture. Selected for people who are excited, and who spread excitement. This is a function largely of the Art of Possibility. The 'excited part is important, because without it, new things aren't tried.
  • Antifragile - growing from difficulty, as in Ashes and Diamonds

Criteria

  • What will the canditate contribute to pushing forward the state of art?
  • What will the candidate contribute to teaching other team members regarding performance culture? Will the person teach me anything?
  • What bothers the candidate about the way the world works, and what are they doing about it?

Interview

  • It will be a thinking-on-your feet discussion of integrative thinking, where the candidate must be familiar with concepts of Industry 1.0 to Industry 3.0. on top of this - decentralization.
  • Candidate must have an orientation towards humility and inclusion, but not the partial inclusion of disadvantaged people but everyone inclusion as in we are all in it together

Economic Case

  • $71k/year average for master carpenter after 10 years of time [3]
    • How does this match BLS, which says mean is $60k carpenters and 66k for MEP? [4]? Mean is higher by $10k - a conspicuously substantial difference.
    • Here average carpenter is $48k at BLS [5]
  • Average trade school costs $33k and earning after is $36k. Associate Degree in carpentry (2 year) is typically $4-20k.
    • $12500 for associate degree in carpentry, Minnesota [6]
    • $6600 Montana, $13k at MATC Wisconsin.
  • Reconcile? $13k vs 33k? Is the $20k difference room and board, whereas $13k is tuition only? Room and board is $12k [7]

Strategy

  • The builder candidate must not be a 5-Legged Dog - there is too few of them to scale the project to dominant market share.
  • Talent must be built in house, leadership grows through the ranks.
  • Likely candidate: a progressive individual open to learning, with a strong Work Ethic. Challenge: negotiate the declining work ethic with culture building that breeds purpose.

Schedule

  • 5x8 in July-August, and 4x10 at other times [8]. Dec 15-Jan 15 is off construction season. Temperature

Onboarding

  • 4x10 schedule with Friday Culturing. It is culture and mindset for the he big picture, repeated and reinforced as an ecology of consistent, mutually reinforcing, and for the time timeless core and constant improvement. Outcome is creating new ideas + mechanisms for reinforcing this core, also backed by incentives. Badges, perks, bonuses, financial bonuses, status (meritocratically administered), etc.
