Ever since I was in school, I had this nagging feeling... this doesn't work.
Not really.
It felt like a game. Memorize facts for a test, dump them onto a piece of paper, and then promptly forget everything to make room for the next chapter. University was just a more expensive version of the same game.
It was all about what to learn, but almost nothing about how to think or how to solve a real, messy problem.
I remember sitting in a finance class once, learning about complex derivatives. I'm pretty sure 90% of us were just trying to figure out what the professor wanted us to write on the final, not what any of it actually meant. We passed, but did we learn? Not in a way that mattered.
Then I got into the "real world."
I started running companies. Hiring people. And that's when it really hit me.
The grades, the degrees, the impressive-sounding university names... they were just not a good predictor of success. At all.
We'd hire incredibly smart people, straight A-students, who were paralyzed when faced with a problem that wasn't in a textbook. They were waiting for instructions.
We realized, pretty quickly, that we had to set up our own education, right inside the company. We had to teach people how to actually get work done.
So, what worked?
It wasn't the weekend workshops or the "corporate training" days. It wasn't the manuals or the long video courses.
It was the teams.
It was people working together, on real projects, figuring things out as they went. It was apprenticeship, in practice. It was a community.
It turns out... that's just how humans learn. We're social creatures. We learn by doing, and we learn by watching, and we learn by being part of a group that's focused on the same goal. Even Google ran a massive study that found the same thing: it's not about the individual geniuses, it's about how the team works together.
So, that's what I'm working on now. Building a place to learn that's based on how people actually learn.
And the first big problem to tackle? AI.
Why? Because it's the same broken promise all over again.
There's so much noise, so much hype. But when you get past the tech-bro shouting, you find most busy professionals—the "proud non-nerds"—are just... frustrated.
You're trying to use it, but the results are "meh." It feels more like a "fancy thesaurus" than a strategic partner.
We don't need another lecture. We need a smarter way to get things done.
That's what Weaver Education is. And that's what Learn to AI is. It's our first effort to build a community where you can learn by doing, get real support, and finally get the results you were promised.
Welcome.
