Jorge leads The Journey with so much enthusiasm for the group and for what we are learning. He is super encouraging and very knowledgeable. The information is never dumbed down, yet he explains it in a way that stays interesting, not heavy and builds our knowledge in a way that is practical/ applicable so we retain it and can see how it all fits together.
I am so grateful for this experience. Both for the incredible teaching and the careful selection of people I get to learn with. This cohort has been so supportive, yet we push each other to be better. It makes me feel more capable, clear on my plan for the future and I could not recommend The Journey more highly.

a week in the life of the journey
in addition to a 2h live session, you’ll progress your goals throughout the week
💻 2h: live cohort session
each week, attend a workshop with your cohort about a specific topic – like idea validation, financial literacy or business automation.
you’ll learn the systems and mental models you need to develop your project on your own time.
sessions are led by your dedicated program guide, with visits by experts and guest speakers.
our sessions are practical, engaging and insightful.
🔥 +2h: work on your project
outside of sessions, you may need to do research, run tests, make sales, or other tasks for your specific project. this is flexible, and completely depends on you. great results come with dedication.
some weeks will require more time, and some less. but as a general rule of thumb, the more you put in, the more you get out.
🚀 1h: 1:1 mentoring and coaching
meet with your mentor weekly. anytime you need with your program guide.
🧡 up to you: community events

students participate in small group discussions, conduct research in teams and collaborate. each group will present their findings and pitch ideas to the larger cohort.
our learning process is inquiry-based and hands-on, with a clear bias for action. our program guides offer guidance, provide support, and ask thought provoking questions.
