Coming soon — 86 Academy
You've been managing chaos at a professional level for years. 86 Academy is the translation guide — built to turn what you already know into income that doesn't evaporate with a slow Tuesday.
You're already on the list. We'll be in touch before launch.
The reality
You've run a 12-table section during a kitchen fire. You've turned a livid guest into a regular. You've trained the new hire, managed the sidework, and still hit your sales numbers — all before 9pm.
Corporate operations managers train for years to do what you do every shift.
The problem isn't your resume. It's that nobody taught you how to translate it.
What's coming
A structured, step-by-step system to take the skills you've already built on the floor and convert them into a digital income stream. No degree required. No starting from zero.
Resume and portfolio templates built specifically around hospitality skills — because your current resume doesn't say half of what you can do.
Step-by-step guides to turn what you already know into a structured digital product someone will pay for — starting with what's already in your head.
A sequenced plan to go from "I don't know where to start" to your first remote freelance client or online income stream — with clear milestones at every phase.
Why I built this
I spent years on the floor — managing sections, managing guests, managing everyone's problems but my own. I had skills that corporations pay consultants thousands to teach. I just didn't have the language for them yet.
86 Academy is what I wish had existed when I was deciding whether the restaurant was all I was worth. It wasn't. It isn't for you either.

Before you ask
None. The entire premise of 86 Academy is that your hospitality experience is the foundation — you're not starting from zero, you're translating what you already have. The guides are built for someone picking this up for the first time.
It's built for anyone who's worked front-of-house — servers, bartenders, FOH managers, event coordinators in hospitality. If you've managed a section, handled a rush, or dealt with a difficult guest at scale, this is built for you.
There's no honest answer to that question that sounds good, so I won't give you one. Building something new takes time. What 86 Academy gives you is a structured path — so the time you do spend moves you forward instead of in circles.
Founding members get first access to the full 86 Academy product suite — the resume and portfolio templates, the digital product guides, and the 4-phase remote launch system — at the founding member price, which will not be available after launch. Details will go to the waitlist first.
No. 86 Academy is built around paths that fit the skills you already have — remote service work, digital products built on your industry knowledge, and client-based freelance income. It's specific. If it could apply to anyone, it wouldn't be built for you.
The waitlist will get advance notice before the public. That's the point of being on it — you'll hear first, and you'll have access to founding pricing before it's gone.
One decision
If you've been waiting for a sign that it's time to build your exit plan — this is it. The waitlist closes when the spots are gone.
