The Legacee Academy

"Everyone complains about the cost of education, but no-one complains about the cost of ignorance."

Skills employers want are more complicated, and more difficult than simply getting a four-year degree. As such, one is delusional if one thinks you can master anything simply by reading a few books, taking a few classes or even getting a degree in it.

We see it all the time, in universities, theory devoid of practice. Students who think that an "A" means real world competence, the illusion that one can apply what one writes about in the research paper.

So What's missing? Two things:

Relevant theory that can be practiced.

The motivation and feedback mechanisms to reach mastery.

This is what we provide in this site.

"After all, if it was just about knowledge, most of the world’s leaders would be librarians."

Sound, Practical Theory. This is not about “blue sky” theory — you know the kind of stuff so impractical that you can’t use it in the real word. It’s about what employers want and entrepreneurs need.

Build Deep Expertise. What’s in your long-term memory matters. You can’t Google it when the boss asks you a question. And when ignorant, you can’t even use the search engines properly since they won't know what questions to ask.

Strive To Master Skills. We don’t just want leaders who understand the theory, but can’t lead. The focus is on moving from novice to mastery.
