Ep. 098 | How to get the most out of SWA

This week, I review the 3 different plans available at ServeWell Academy.  1. Basic Plan 2. VIP Plan 3. Private Plan I hope this helps those families thinking about enrolling in the program.  For our current members, this is a good reminder of how to make the most out of your participation in the program.  Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Ep. 097 | The importance of structure in the college experience

Two weeks ago, I highlighted the importance of feedback when it comes to the development of 18-22 year-olds. This week, I dig into the importance of structure. The two extremes that come to mind are Brown University and West Point. The latter offers one of the most "unstructured" college experiences around. West Point, on the other hand, is the poster child for a structured environment. Learn about the pros and cons of these two experiences and which may resonate most with your child.

Ep. 096 | The new ServeWell year begins tomorrow...

Tomorrow (June 1st) marks the migration from one year to the next... * eager 8th-graders can now become freshman ServeWellers (2030) * freshman ServeWellers (2029) become sophomores * sophomore ServeWellers (2028) become juniors * junior ServeWellers (2027) become seniors I institute this change now because it gives every age group the whole summer to catch-up on anything that may have slipped through the cracks during the school year. Whether you're an enrolled ServeWeller or not (yet), please give this episode a listen for an overview of what each cohort should expect to accomplish this summer.

Ep. 095 | Accelerated Feedback Loops

In today's episode, I cover the topic of feedback. In order to mature, young adults need to know what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong. And the sooner -- the better. There are a few pathways that provide this type of feedback, often at an accelerated pace. There are other pathways that do not. If your child is interested in personal development, please give this episode a listen.

Ep. 094 | Feedback from the field

In today's episode, I share insights and perspective from a former ServeWell Academy graduate who went on to attend Vanderbilt University on a Marine Option Navy ROTC scholarship. He is wrapping up his freshman year and he had many things to report - some good, some not so good. If your son or daughter is considering ROTC, please give this episode a listen.
