The Academy isn't a library of recordings to get through alone. The hero is whatever is live next — a cohort, the next session, the weekly clinic — because that's where learning actually happens: building a real artifact, in the open, with people on the same path.
What's live, what's next
The hero here is the live thing — a cohort when one is open, the next show or session otherwise, and the weekly clinic always. You learn by building, in the room, with people on the same path.

Always on
Office Hours runs every week as the live build clinic — bring whatever you are building, get unstuck in the room, and watch someone else get unstuck too. No cohort required; it is always open.
How it works
Every path here runs the same motion. You start from media that proves the work is real. You build a concrete artifact — usually a working agent on valuefirstagent.com. And you do it live: in a cohort with a defined start, or in the weekly build clinic where you bring your work to the room and get unstuck.
The live thing is not a bonus on top of a course. It is the course. The recordings are the on-ramp; the room is where you learn. This is what we mean by “build.”
The flagship paths
Pick where you are. Each path leads with the artifact you'll walk away with, runs on a live cadence, and hands you off to valuefirstagent.com to make the build real.
