ABOUT US
Who We Are
(And Who We’re Not)
We’re not academics. We’re not here to “empower transformation through synergistic frameworks.” We’re real-world business people who’ve launched things, scaled things, broken things, fixed them again, and built careers in the mess of actual business.
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.

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.”
