LEARNING MODEL:

Each month you will receive several audios (normally two, but occasionally as many as four or more – at the mentor’s discretion) specific to the course readings for that month. Course content is progressive, meaning that each month builds on the previous ones. All who join this subscription will begin with Month One, and proceed with new mentoring content corresponding to the assignments each month through the program as described below. Each month follows this pattern:

Complete the readings listed below on your own
Listen to mentoring audios, specific to each title listed below
Discuss with your family, book group and/or with the online forum

After completion of the Black Belt in Freedom sequence, subscription continues, and participants progress automatically into the subsequent Ambassador of Freedom Levels I and II (described below).

Online Forum:

This course includes an embedded online forum for participants, moderated by the TJEd Mentors.

There is no other program like this in modern America. It is a detailed, intensive, founding fathers-style learning program. If you resonate with freedom—NOW is the time to prepare!
