The September–October Myford Sprint wrapped. Here’s what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next.
Every 30 days, I run an experiment.Not in theory. In execution.
From September 24th to October 24th, the focus was one thing: momentum.
Here’s how it went down.
1. One Core Concept per Week

In manufacturing, Just-in-Time (JIT) changed everything.Toyota made it famous by producing parts only when needed — no waste, no excess, no delays.
Now, imagine applying that same concept to learning.
Instead of hoarding degrees, certifications, and content you might never use, you learn what you...
I’ve always gone against the grain. Groupthink has never sat well with me. When everyone rushes in one direction, I instinctively stop and ask: is this really the right path—or just the most crowded one?
For decades, the default path has been clear: go to college, rack up debt, hope the degree pa...
Quick note: This is a stress test, not a forecast. We’re asking a hard “what if” so you can make better decisions in the real world.
Why run this stress test now?
AI already does junior-level tasks: first drafts, basic analysis, slide builds, simple code.
Employers are slowly shifting toward sk...
Let’s be blunt: most people don’t have a business model.They have an idea, a skill, or a product—and they hope it works out.
Hope isn’t a strategy. You need a system. A blueprint. A way to make decisions based on logic, not vibes.
Enter the Business Model Canvas (BMC)—a one-page tool that lays ou...
Most businesses measure success the same way:Revenue. Profit. Growth.
Those are important—but they’re not the whole story.
You can hit your revenue targets while losing customers.
You can show profit while your team burns out.
You can grow fast while your internal systems fall apart.
At Myford ...
Most businesses say they want improvement.Fewer have a system to actually do it.Even fewer have a system that works without drama or big spending.
That’s where the PDCA Loop comes in.
Used by elite manufacturers, hospitals, startups, and service pros, this four-step method helps you solve problem...
Before you launch, pivot, or expand—analyze the battlefield.
Let’s cut the fluff.
You can have a killer product, a great team, and early traction—but if you enter the wrong market, you’re toast.
It’s not enough to be good. You need to know what you’re up against—and whether the game is winnable....
Price. Place. Promotion. These aren’t just textbook terms—they’re the foundation of real business strategy.
If you’re trying to grow a business, get a promotion, or just sell something you made—stop chasing shiny tactics and start with the fundamentals.
At Myford University, we believe in cuttin...
The machines aren’t coming—they’re already here. Here’s how to stay valuable in a world run by AI.

“AI isn’t coming for your job—at least not yet.But if your job is predictable, repetitive, or rules-based…It’s already k...
“I’m a chemical super-freak actually.”—Stanley Goodspeed (in the movie, The Rock)
I like to think of myself a little differently:I’m a learning super-freak.
If you're reading this, you might be too—or want to be.
Over the past three years, I’ve torn through:
Dozens of courses and certifications

The Real Education Isn’t in the Degree — It’s in the Doing
Let me tell you the truth I wish I knew sooner:
If I had to do it all again—college, MBA, MS—I’d do it completely differently.
Not because I regret learning.But because I now know how much faster, cheaper, and more effective it can be to ...
