Read
Start with the book. Every unit begins as a chapter — read it on your own time, at your own pace.
Watch
Each chapter pairs with a 10-minute companion module. No 40-slide decks, no "circle back."
Do
Real challenges with your real numbers: build the budget, file the thing, make the call.
Flex
Earn unit badges and a certificate that says "I have my life together (mostly)."
Repeat
New units drop every month. Adulting doesn't graduate, and neither do we.
