When I released my book 33 Questions About
American History You're Not Supposed to Ask (world's worst title, though I think a darn good book), I actually had a handful of people speculate that my choice of the number 33 indicated that I must be a 33rd-degree Freemason.
I'm not joking about that.
The number 33, as it turns out, was actually chosen by my publisher; I myself had proposed the number 27 and in fact
wasn't too thrilled to have to add six more questions. And it's reasonable to assume that if I actually were a 33rd-degree Freemason, I would have less bizarre ways of communicating that fact to my fellow Freemasons than via a number in a book title available to the general public.
Anyway:
I want to say a quick word about the 32nd question in that book.
It's about a
man named S.B. Fuller. You've probably never heard of him.
He was a 20th-century black entrepreneur. His view was this: even if whites should for whatever reason not want to interact with us, we ourselves constitute a huge market. Until conditions in the wider society improve, we can always buy from and sell to each other.
There is a real lesson for us today in
that. You and I live in a society whose major institutions despise everything you and I stand for, and would like nothing more than to frustrate and defeat us.
So here is the Fuller-inspired sentence I would like burned into your brain:
If people like you and me don't work together and help each other, nobody else is going to help us.
Well, I've
built a community in which we do precisely that.
And here is yet another entry from the mountain of testimonials I've accumulated, this one from Josh Steimle:
I joined the School of Life several months ago. I have to admit that I have been almost 100% inactive in the group, and as they say with these types of things, you get out what you put in. I would love to put in
more, but busy and all that, yada yada.
However, even though I've basically put nothing in, someone else in the School of Life found my information there, looked up my business, and we just had a great phone call, one that could lead to tens of thousands and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue for my business. If this is the only deal I ever get through the School of Life, it will make it worth
it to keep paying for my membership for the rest of my life.
Getting deals isn't why I joined the School of Life, and I want to be a giver, not just a taker, but if you're considering buying into the School of Life, and you need a little extra incentive and perhaps an excuse to write this off as a business expense, here you go.
In here we are
helping each other lose weight, earn higher incomes, get better jobs (and escape truly soul-crushing ones), learn to homeschool, write a book, make valuable connections -- you name it.
And we've had success after success in every one of those areas and a dozen more.
You can try us out for $1, and be one of those successes.
Now it's true: you could instead buy some gum with that $1. I admit that.
But go without gum for a little while so you can do this instead:
