There is a silent revolution taking place in American #education which very few people recognize nor talk about. The 21st century is about: #ContinuousEducation Not #HigherEd, nor #ContinuingEd again it’s #ContinuousEd: lifetime education for niche aspirants.

Amateurs play checkers. Professionals play chess. Masters play go. Sages create new games. Gurus know it’s all one grand game. #AMAvsPRO

Some of the finest 21st-century educators I’ve had the privilege to learn from were expelled or dropped out of school in the 20th century—when they were students. How do you like them apples? 🍎🍏🍎 #Education

My advice to anyone, INCLUDING MY OWN SON, in their 20’s: #FWLB Why? Your 20’s are the decade where you can gain the most traction on laying the foundation of Your 7 Freedoms. This is a decade in which Amateurs turn Pro! Don’t take my word for it: fortune.com/2025/06/22/sca…

Amateurs demand justice. Professionals issue Justice. #AMAvsPRO

Good Morning #HigherEd here is your friendly and funny wake up reminder about what is actually happening in the industry: 😴 🆙 👃 ☕️ youtube.com/shorts/Qegwtfk…

A fascinating read for those who want to return to the land, go off the grid and become a rugged individualist again.

The traditional #education system imploded a long, long, time ago as educators begin to indoctrinate students that they were powerless victims of oppression versus empowered aspirants of opportunity. Here’s a throwback: youtube.com/shorts/SpDhh9F…

I will say it again…

Headline Gaffe by @NBCNews: TRUMP RETURNS TO DC WITH INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS BUT NO MAJOR PEACE DEALS. 🤔 They don’t understand: Investment agreements lay the foundation for Peace. Invest comes from investire, meaning "to clothe” Peace is follows nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

Thanks to #AI the age being a scholar, academic, or content creator is a dead idea. The new source of value creation in 21st century education will be derived from facilitators and coaches who create context, connection and community for aspirants.

I will said it again… The future of #education is about the evolution of educational enterprises which are dedicated and obsessed with providing continuous education for specific niches of perpetual lifetime learners & aspirants.

A thought for #HigherEd and #SApros… it’s time to shift from #StudentAffairs to #StudentAdvancement Over the last 15 years the profession has lost its way. The shift away from affairs & towards advancement will benefit all in HigherEd. Give it some thought 💭 @NASPAtweets

I second @sfmcguire79 on this. It’s refreshing to see the changing tide in American #HigherEd 🇺🇸 The amateurs are all but gone and the professionals are evolving into mastery. For those #HEpros still in the game, I salute you! 🫡

Amateurs strive for: Work Life Balance (WLB) Professionals create: Life Work Harmony (LWH) #AMAvsPRO

#HigherEd I alerted you. #HigherEd I advised you. #HigherEd I warned you. Yet instead of listening to seasoned professionals you cowered to the callow amateurs #SAchat. While the DOD is being cut, the DOE will be decimated. New #EduOrgs will rise as old Ivory towers fall.

“The things to do are: the things that need doing, that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done. Then you will conceive your own way of doing that which needs to be done- that no one else has told you to do or how to do it.” - Bucky Fuller

Amateurs ghost 👻 Professionals haunt 😒 #AMAvsPRO

This #HigherEd post was inspired by @naval: The next 25 years of education will be about creating schools of continuous education for perpetual learners. 💥

Hey 👋 #HigherEd if you wondering what types of programming the federal government WILL fund in 2025 and beyond, here’s a list of my top 4 recs: #1 Civics Education #2 Financial Education #3 Entrepreneurial Edu #4 IP Education #CivEdu #FinEdu #TrepEdu and #IPedu

👋 #HigherEd the world is finally aware to what I’ve been warning you about since 2015, particularly via my #SAchat & #AMAvsPRO tweets. GOOD NEWS: The next 25 years will mark one of the greatest transformations for the education industry that we’ve seen in the last 80 years!
