ABOUT US
Who We Are
(And Who We’re Not)
We’re not academics. We’re a bunch of business misfits: founders who’ve closed deals and killed products; leaders who’ve inspired teams and made epic mistakes; marketers who’ve launched hits and crickets; and tech nerds who know their AI from their BS.
What unites us? A love of practical solutions, a distaste for corporate theatre, and a mission to help you thrive in the real world — not some idealised version of it.
We built 53 Degrees Academy because most training is all sizzle, no steak. Ours is the opposite. You’ll get useful tools, tested insights, and just enough sarcasm to keep you sane.

IMAGINE
What you could learn today?
01
How to use AI
Without needing a PhD or by having a panic attack.
02
How to lead folk
Who can be (let’s be honest) kind of annoying sometimes.

How to fix stuff
That's slowing you down, without selling out, burning out or spacing out.
04
How to get time back
Not to mention, your energy, sanity and mojo.
Who this is for
You’re running a business, building a team, juggling 27 priorities, and pretending to love strategy meetings. You don’t need “inspiration.” You need stuff that works.
This is for:
• Founders and leaders sick of fluff
• Managers who want results (and peace)
• Freelancers ready to scale smart
• Burnt-out professionals done with performative productivity
What You Won’t Find Here
• Trust falls
• Vision boards
• Seven levels of synergy
• That one guy who keeps quoting Elon Musk
• Any mention of “grind culture” (seriously, f*ck that)
“The AI course provided a plan (that we're almost on our way to completing) that will totally transform our business.”
