If You're Escaping Your Life, You're Probably Living in Your Default

Sixty guided lessons built on 55 hours and 49 minutes of Liz Moorehead and me working this out loud on the record. It is finished. All sixty lessons are built and in the platform, not coming soon. And it is going to take you the better part of a year.

Beyond Your Default. Three courses drawn as a technical sheet: a plumb line over a leaning structure, four cornerstones set level, then ten pillars standing.

The Rut Doesn't Announce Itself

I am not anti dinner. I am not telling anybody to cancel their Netflix account. There is a difference between valuable downtime and a rut you have been sitting in for years.

Here is the tell I use. If you are escaping your life, you are probably in a default.

I know the inside of that one. There was a time I fundamentally believed I did not deserve the best out of life. Cleveland, Ohio, warehouse guy at a furniture store, living in a room of somebody else's house and knowing I did not belong there. Those nights out were not downtime. They were escape.

A default is not always a bad life. Sometimes it is an unexamined one. You cannot go beyond a thing you have never looked at.

What's Actually In It

  • ✓60 guided lessons, each built on a full episode of the show.
  • ✓Every lesson: a primer, the audio, the teaching, flashcards, prompts, a self-check, and an assignment.
  • ✓55 hours and 49 minutes of audio. The complete run of the show, nothing held back for an upsell.
  • ✓Read-along transcripts under every episode, so you can search a phrase you half remember.
  • ✓Three printed workbooks, 50 pages each. One spread per lesson, with real writing space.
  • ✓One certificate, awarded when you finish all three courses. Not for showing up. For finishing.

Three Courses, One Arc

See the Default is the honest look. Build the Cornerstones is the why underneath it. Live the Pillars is how the why shows up on a Tuesday. Twenty lessons each, and every course closes with a capstone where Liz and I audit our own progress against everything that came before it.

The Certificate

Finish all three courses and you will earn the Beyond Your Default certificate. It means you sat through 55 hours, filled 150 workbook pages, and ran 60 assignments. That is the only thing it means, and that is plenty.

Who's Teaching ThisGeorge B. ThomasHost, Beyond Your Default

I hosted this show with Liz Moorehead across sixty episodes and 55 hours of recording. She brought the research and asked the questions I would have skated past, and several of the phrases this program teaches with were hers before they were mine. I am not teaching this from the far side of it. I still catch myself in the compulsion this framework is meant to interrupt, and I would be a worse teacher for this subject if I claimed otherwise.

No upgrade credit. Buying one course now and the program later costs $448 total. If you think you will want all three, buy all three.

Questions You Should Ask Before You Buy

No. You would pay $149 now and the full $299 later, $448 total. Peerfold has no way to credit the first purchase against the second, so I am telling you here instead of letting you find out at the second checkout. If there is a real chance you will want all three, the $299 is the honest math.

There Is More. That's the Whole Pitch.

I said that on episode two and I meant it as a shout, because I have seen a lot of humans go to work and hate it, come home and hate it, and decide that is just what they were handed. It does not have to be the way that it is. Nobody is coming to save you, and that is not a sentence about being alone. It is the one that hands the job back to you.
