My Story

“Your scholarship has been
canceled.”

It’s May 2005, and I just realized I made the biggest failure of my life.

My full-ride academic scholarship that included tuition, room & board, and even meals had just been taken away.

And it was all my fault.
Now, I’d have to crawl back home, losing all of my highly sought after freedom, and I didn’t know what I was going to do.

My plan for my life was in shambles.

After graduating with a 3.96 GPA at a magnet “smarts & arts” school and being awarded a National Merit Scholarship, I had ended my freshman year of college with a 1.6.

To top it all off, I would have to move back in with my parents. At 19, this felt like the worse thing that could ever happen.

The systems I’d been told would take me to incredible heights had failed me.

I had all the opportunity: smart, upper middle class, scholarship, brotherhood in a national fraternity, 2 parents who had provided everything they thought I needed, not to mention white and male.

I’d went to the best middle school and high school and it had come easy. I’d been lined up for a free 6 years in school and a practically guaranteed job working for a government intelligence agency after I graduated with a masters in computer science.

I was the epidemy of what the system was designed to select for. But all of that was gone in a single moment.
I had failed.

The system had taught me book smarts but not the things that actually mattered. The truth is I had partied my way though my freshman year and lost everything… I had no real understanding of myself or how to make good decisions. I had no understanding of how things worked “in the real world”.

This recurring message would resound across my life.

“I HAD
FAILED”

After finishing college at another school and switching my major to finance, I took a job in the mortgage industry, first as a banker and then as an underwriter. I also continued my schooling by enrolling in a master’s program in accounting.

All the while creating business side hustles from a party and promotions company to a website design firm.

When I graduated, the next logical step was an accounting job, so I became a staff accountant. Here I was well positioned to take over as a Director of Finance once I got certified as a CPA after a year. But political problems abounded and it was not to be… plus I hated every minute of it.

I was fired and a resounding anger fell over me. I promised myself that I would never put the ability to earn money in anyone’s hands other than my own. The system I had been told would build my wealth had failed me again. I had to change things.

That accounting job in 2011 was the last job I ever had. The real system to building wealth had to lie in being a business owner I told myself.

For the next decade, I would work in various ways building a web design, development, and marketing technology company. It started with code and I realized people needed to actually get results from having a website up and so I expanded into internet marketing esp the technology aspect.

Over time, I realized that thought marketing and sales were necessary, the vast majority of these companies were just chasing profit, rather than worried about their impact and results in real life. And that’s when it hit me…

The reason the systems I’d been apart of and the reasons these companies were not making a real impact were one and the same. Neither had designed a system for the results that I really wanted. They hadn’t designed them with their users experience fully in mind.

Education should be tuned to the the needs of the student, not the needs of the teacher, institution, or system.

Thus my mission was born: to change the way we are educated.

Education should be focused on what gives the most powerful results to the student and we have the power of technology to do this now! From course platforms to engagement strategies to focusing on the journey of transformation to utilizing technology effectively, there are massive improvements to the educational system that need to occur now so that we can create a future of creators, innovators, and people who have developed into the best version of themselves.

From 5-65 and beyond, a new paradigm for education is needed… and I am here to develop and design technology to support that updated paradigm and usher in the future of education so students can tap into their own magic and find the path through life and their education that truly supports them.

Since this realization, I’ve helped people build and design custom education technology geared directly towards the student. I’ve also built my own adaptable learning methodology. This profound dynamic has opened up the opportunity to build powerful programs, technology, and transformation journey’s that create real world results.

Welcome to the future of education.

Sincerely,
Tim Wolf
