"Why I built this for teachers"
From classroom teacher to Microsoft Product Manager to building AI products. Here's why I believe teachers have the most undervalued skillset in the market.
Ready to join a community of teachers building their way out?
Join the Community WaitlistYou're not stuck. You just haven't been shown what's possible.
Every lesson plan you wrote was product management. Every parent meeting was stakeholder alignment. Every time you adjusted mid-sentence because you saw confusion in a student's eyes—that was user research. You've been training for something bigger. You just didn't have the vocabulary for it yet.
Sunday night dread
That pit in your stomach before another week. Planning periods spent catching up instead of actually planning.
The salary ceiling
5-20 years of experience and still watching younger friends out-earn you. Your degree feels like it capped your income.
Love the kids, hate the system
You still believe in education. But the politics, paperwork, and parent emails are suffocating that belief.
Golden handcuffs
The holidays, the pension, the 'stability.' You've talked yourself into staying. But you know there's more.
What if you could translate those skills into income? Build something. Get paid. Create options.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Building something while teaching full-time is hard. Doing it alone is almost impossible. The Teach Yourself Out Community gives you the guidance, tools, and people you need to actually make it happen.
Community
Connect with teachers from around the world on the same journey. You're not alone anymore.

We don't just advise. We build.
Is this right for you?
The Teach Yourself Out Community is for teachers who are ready to do something different. We're selective because we want everyone who joins to succeed.
This is for you if...
- You're a teacher who's wondered 'is this it?' at least once this year
- You want to build something that creates income outside the classroom
- You believe your skills are worth more than your current salary reflects
- You want to be surrounded by other teachers who get it
This is NOT for you if...
- You love teaching and have no interest in additional income
- You want someone to build it for you with no involvement
- You're looking for a magic solution that requires no effort
- You're not willing to show up and participate
If you're still reading, you're probably ready. Take 2 minutes to tell us about yourself.

Two books. Two transformations.
Whether you're a teacher building your way out, or a leader rebuilding your organisation's capability—there's a roadmap for you.
Teach Yourself Out
How to Build Products, Income, and a Way Out of the Classroom
You were never "just a teacher." Every lesson plan was product management. Every parent meeting was stakeholder alignment. This book shows you how to translate those skills into income.
- →Recognise your transferable skills
- →Validate ideas before building
- →Prototype with AI (no coding)
- →Path to your first $10k month
The Capable Organisation
How Leaders Broke Innovation, And How to Build It Back
Your organisation has forgotten how to build. You've outsourced so much that creating things has become unimaginable. This book shows you how to rebuild that capability—in 90 days.
- →Assess your true capability
- →The 5 capabilities to own
- →AI that amplifies, not deepens dependency
- →The 90-day sprint playbook
Both books share the same philosophy: you already have what it takes—you just need the roadmap.
Latest Insights
Provocations, frameworks, and uncomfortable truths about building in the AI age.
The Skills You Already Have (And What They're Actually Worth)
Nobody told you that teaching developed some of the most valuable skills in the modern economy. Explaining complex things simply, reading a room, meeting people where they are—these aren't just teaching skills. They're product management, consulting, and sales skills worth $150-200K. You have them. You just use different words.
The Dangerous Myth of the AI Sous-Chef
The metaphor is comforting. The reality is terrifying. Why the popular AI sous-chef analogy masks abdication of responsibility.
The F*ck It Line: Why Courage Is a Daily Practice (Not a Personality Trait)
Capability isn't built in training rooms. It's built in the moments where you cross the line between comfort and growth. Every day, you either cross it or you don't. Here's why that matters more than you think.
