Building a Mountain of Levers

Accomplish More.

Break the constraints of the typical day. Learn how to accomplish superhuman feats by playing a different game — building leverage.

Prioritize — Get the critical things done.

Produce — Increase your output-to-effort.

Compound — Build greater impact every day.

Leverage: from idea to application.

Levers are force multipliers. This is how some people can accomplish 10x, 100x, or 1,000,000x what others can. Leverage can multiply outcomes from your effort, your skill, and your judgment.

• Can you lift 800 pounds? You could with an 18-foot lever.

• Can you earn $50,000/year without working even 1 hour? You could with $1,000,000. (leverage from capital)

• Can you get 100,000 people to read your tweet? You could with 100 retweets. (leverage from an audience)

Those who focus on building, growing, and re-investing in Leverage are playing a different game. And the gap between the levered and the unlevered is going to keep growing.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Separate your time from your income

• Manage multiple workflows without chaos

• Get more than 24 hours in the day

• Re-invest, compound, level-up, and escape.

There are already many million-dollar 1-person companies. Now, we are seeing billion-dollar 10-person companies. Bitcoin is a trillion-dollar asset with one creator. This is the age of leverage. Learn to see it, learn to use it.

Like compounding, Leverage is:

• Based on math

• Very counterintuitive

• Truly astonishing at scale

• Key for building wealth

• Overlooked by almost everyone

• Critical for understanding extreme outcomes and achieving them yourself.

Leverage is tricky to get into your head as a mental model, but once it’s there, it’ll be there forever – and it will change your life. You will build a Moutain of Levers.

What is included in this course?

Course Material - All of the lessons, examples, case studies, and frameworks for building leverage. Lifetime access to all material (video, graphics, and text) including additions we make over time.

Expect to take about 12 weeks to finish one pass through the material, assuming ~1-3 hours per week. You could sprint through within a week, just be sure you’re working on applying these ideas as you learn.

For most of us, learning and applying leverage is a lifelong journey, and this course will support you well after you have taken in all of the lessons.

Leverage Course Material

Bonus Material is included throughout the course as optional additional lessons, like Leveraged Leaders, Leverage through History, and Case Studies from community members with specific masterful skills.

Oh, and one more key piece: private conversations with experts to hear stories of how they build leverage and apply it in their lives.

We already have Jim O’Shaughnessy, Tom Osman, Jack Butcher, and Andrew Wilkinson. We add case studies, breakdowns, and walkthroughs continuously so the course gets deeper over time.

Badass Global Community

This community is bringing together all of the leverage thinkers around the world. The early members are already world-class talents with stunning examples of how they have applied leverage.

The course is a beacon, a foundation, and a shared language for us to build on. Over time, we’re all going to learn incredible things from each other.

We chose a course platform focused on community (MightyNetworks).

Our community is already home to entrepreneurs, medical doctors, venture capitalists, side-hustlers, lawyers, podcasters, engineers, wall streeters, and founders. We welcome you to join and learn together with us.

In 12 weeks or less…

You will have a map, a mental model, and fluency applying them to make an impact. You’ll know learning is paying off when you: 

• Feel confident the moves you make are part of a long-term plan.

• Instinctively ignore low-leverage requests or opportunities.

• Quickly sort through options to find high-leverage solutions.

• Develop high sensitivity to wasting your time.

• Feel confident deploying your time and money to accomplish your goals.

• Find new definitions of success and new visions for reaching them.

I want to hear your stories of decisions, investments, companies, hires, purchases this course helped you make. In 5 years, I want you to tell me that this course was an inflection point in your life.

Is it crazy expensive?

While some cohort-based courses charge $3,000+ for their experience, we focused on using leverage (obviously) to keep costs low, flexibility high, and drive a huge impact at a much lower price point. Currently, you get lifetime course access for $297.

As we grow and reinvest into more content, tooling, and community, this price will likely increase to $600+. If you join today, will be grandfathered into the course at $297.

Is this Leverage Course & Community right for you?

This is perfect for people who have a direction and feel constrained by time. This is not for people who feel uncertain about their current direction.

This is perfect for people with a desire to increase impact systematically over time. This is not for people trying to get rich quick.

This is perfect for learning to control your own time and use it well, personally and professionally. This is not for people trying to control others.

Why we created this course

This course was the result of a beautiful convergence.

• In 2019, I went suddenly from 1 job to about 5 jobs (long story). To cope with this, found myself leaning on the ideas of Leverage from my work with the Almanack of Naval Ravikant.

• And I wasn’t the only one — I was constantly getting DMs, emails, and requests to expand on the idea of Leverage from the book.

• Over the years, I had developed new frameworks, processes, and understandings of leverage, and started to apply them. Now, I have them structured and ready to share with others who want to learn the art of accomplishing more.

Ultimately, we created this course because we believe leverage as a mindset and practice can help people. And, of course, because we love these ideas and all of the people who are interested in exploring them with us!

You still have questions? We have answers.

What is the time commitment?

Total time to complete the core material is about 12 hours. The most common is for people to spend ~2 hours per week, and finish in about 12 weeks including time to plan, apply, and watch bonus material. If you sprint, you could finish in a week. 

There is no set schedule or fixed times. You can pause, rewind, or revisit as it suits you. Meet with one study partner per month for a 1-hour session. You schedule this at your own pace (opt-in). 

Also, you’re an adult. Everything is optional.

What format is Building a Mountain of Leverage?

The course is available on web and mobile app as a combination of text, graphics and videos. I appreciate having a variety as I take a course, and I hope you do too. Over time, we will add more of all formats. If you’re looking for super-duper polished, professional video… lower your expectations, please.

What is your refund policy?

I’d rather give you back your money than have you feel like you didn’t get amazing value from us. If you have given the course an honest effort and it’s not what you were hoping, we will give you a refund. I’ll be curious how we missed your expectations, but we trust you to act honestly and we will too.

How long will I have access?

When you buy the course, you will have lifetime access to course material. In the unlikely case the course is no longer publicly hosted in the future, we’ll make sure you get a personal copy of all material. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee lifetime community access for a fixed price. 1 year is included with course enrollment.

Will you be making updates?

Yes, constantly. We’ll add tactical lessons, case studies, examples from students, and anything we can think of to make this better. The course, and content will constantly evolve. We are focused on iterating to make this a transformative, world-class, genre-defining learning experience. It might take a few years.
