Let’s make this journey unforgettable. Where do we start?
I don’t know exactly.
But I know it’s worth recording.
Every idea. Every action. Every moment, I feel unsure.
Every time, someone believes in it more than I do.
This is for me.
This is for DNA.
And maybe someday, for someone else trying to build something that matters.
This is a wild idea. It's crazy to think we can actually find something meaningful to teach every single weekend. A new class, a new teacher, a new subject — every week? That's ambitious, borderline foolish. But the more I sit with it, the more I feel it’s possible.
To make this work, we’ll need a grand list of speakers. Not just people who are good at something, but people who can teach it. That’s a different skill altogether. Usain Bolt runs like lightning, but if you asked him to teach someone else how to run like him, he might struggle. Doing and teaching — not the same. So starting today, I’m on a hunt. I’m going to subscribe to everything — newsletters, YouTube channels, podcasts, subreddits, niche corners of the internet — with one mission: find people who can teach. People who care. People who light up when they explain something they love.
And the thing is, this isn’t a school for children. It’s for grown-ups. That makes it even more different. The brain works differently now. It’s slower in some ways, but sharper in others. It asks for meaning before method. It’s not trying to pass a test — it’s trying to pass through life, one day at a time. And the heart? That holds a different kind of fear now. Fear of failing your family. Of losing money. Of not matching the image the world has painted of you. Teaching grown-ups is going to be a different ride. They come with baggage, with layers, with pride, with pressure. But they also come with stories, with experience, with a hunger that kids may not yet know. That makes it harder — and more beautiful.
The good news is we’re not building from scratch. We’ve done this before — at least for three days. The original DNA School. And if you haven’t heard of it before, go watch the documentary we made about it. It holds the energy, the chaos, the joy of what we’re trying to bring back. We know something about this already. And this time, it’s going to be bigger, slower, and longer. One weekend at a time. One classroom at a time.
Let’s begin.
