A$60.40
Skip the debt. Build the man. What if you could trade four stagnant years in lecture halls for four years ofadventure—emerging as a debt‑free EMT, pilot, welder, web/app builder, rancher, and entrepreneur all in one? ThePreparation is the field manual for young men (and the parents who love them) who know the old college formula is broken and want a roadmap that actually forges competence, confidence, and real‑world value.
Written by three generations—legendary investor and bestselling author Doug Casey, entrepreneur MattSmith, and twenty‑year‑old “beta tester” MaximSmith—this book distills their hard‑won wisdom into a four‑year, 16‑cycle program you can start tomorrow.
If you—or a young man you care about—refuse to become road‑kill on the conventional path, open this book and start Cycle One today. The world won’t wait, and neither should you.

Written by three generations—legendary investor and bestselling author Doug Casey, entrepreneur MattSmith, and twenty‑year‑old “beta tester” MaximSmith—this book distills their hard‑won wisdom into a four‑year, 16‑cycle program you can start tomorrow.
- 16 themed cycles—Medic, Cowboy, Pilot, Fighter, Hacker, Maker, and more—each built around a hands‑on “Anchor Course” that forces you to learn by doing, not by cramming.
- Earn‑while‑you‑learn design shows you exactly how to pay your way through each cycle and graduate debt‑free.
- Cost: roughly one year of tuition – yet delivers four years of marketable skills, global travel, and a network of do‑ers, not talkers.
- Foundational philosophy rooted in Stoicism and Renaissance thinking so you don’t just master tasks—you master yourself.
- Bullet‑proof curriculum: step‑by‑step schedules, book lists, online courses, and locations for every skill so you’re never guessing what to do next.
- Battle‑tested results—Maxim used the program to rack up EMT shifts on Oregon wildfires, fly solo over the Rockies, ranch in Uruguay, and sail the Strait ofMagellan before he turned twenty.
If you—or a young man you care about—refuse to become road‑kill on the conventional path, open this book and start Cycle One today. The world won’t wait, and neither should you.
