"I didn't build this system in theory. I built it around my own kitchen table first — three kids, three different paths, same system. Since then, we've coached 1,000+ families to $12M+ in scholarships, and we're the second-largest outside pathway provider to the UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars Program in the country."
