For men and women

The whole plan, start to finish.

Not a club and not a newsletter. This is everything the American Dream Project does, in the order you would actually meet it — and what each part asks of a week that is already full.

  1. 01

    You start where you actually are

    Nobody starts behind. The way in is a book and a room of people reading it — a monthly cycle, a Tuesday meeting in person where that is possible and on video where it is not, and a recording for the week that got away from you.

    • A featured book, read together on a monthly rhythm
    • Discussion that connects the reading to the rest of the work
    • A recorded version, because a missed week should not cost you the month

  2. 02

    You do the interior work first

    There is no political solution to a consciousness problem. Before the skills and before the leading, there is the quieter work — and it is the part that makes the rest hold.

    • Six pillars, small enough to carry, repeat, and hand to somebody else
    • A daily practice designed to survive a bad week
    • An honest evening review, and a weekly reset for when the practice slips — because it will

  3. 03

    Your children are in this too

    The curriculum adapts by age; the teaching underneath does not. This is the part that makes it a family plan rather than a personal one.

    • Young Stars, ages 4–12 — breathing and calm-down practice, the feelings wheel, the horse story as an illustrated adventure
    • The Risers, ages 13–25 — social media and the tuning fork, anger as information, choosing an identity rather than inheriting one
    • The Awakened, ages 26+ — the full curriculum, and leading others through your own interior work
    Learning alongside your children is the most powerful thing you can model. When a child watches a parent become capable at something difficult, they learn that capability is acquired, not inherited.

  4. 04

    You stop being afraid of the technology

    Technology should never be a barrier. Day one is five steps, and the assessment advises rather than sorts — the track is a guide, not a cage.

    • Fifteen adaptive questions to find your real starting point
    • Six tracks — foundations, social media, business tools, digital security, the creator track, or one you define yourself
    • Materials that arrive printed in person and ready to print at home

  5. 05

    You protect what you have built

    A community built over a decade should not disappear because a phone number changed. This is armour first and recovery second, and it covers your children's images as well as your own account.

    • Backup email chains, two-factor with offline codes, and a record kept outside the platform
    • Evidence capture that survives the original being taken down
    • How to recognise manufactured content, and how to protect a child's image from being used without consent

  6. 06

    You lead, if you want to

    A founding chapter president is not hired — they are recognised. They already have the relationships; what they get is national infrastructure behind them, and a rhythm that carries the work past its first year.

    • One or two founding presidents per state, each with a squad underneath them
    • A predictable week: the national call, the book club, outreach, the tech session, the debrief
    • A feedback loop most national organisations never build — what they hear goes back up, and what gets built comes back down to every state

  7. 07

    You are not expected to do it for free

    Real work deserves real compensation. The publishing side is how the mission funds itself, and a shelf of your own is the part that keeps earning while you are doing something else.

    • Print and digital across three channels at once
    • A curated shelf you share — and earn from when the people who follow you buy from it
    • Permanent ownership: nothing you bought is ever taken back off your shelf
    Contributions, terms, and any earning arrangements are handled directly. Nothing on this page is an offer or a price. Payouts to authors and hosts switch on once the processor and counsel review are complete.

  8. 08

    You meet everybody else

    The summit is the peak of a cadence that runs all year — where the chapters finally meet each other, and the work stops being something you do alone in your state.

    • Live sessions delivered to a room rather than a screen
    • Training that is easier to give in person than to write down
    • The monthly state-wide gathering underneath it, all year

The week

What it actually costs you.

The Rotary Club has met every week for a century for a reason: predictable rhythm creates belonging, and belonging is what carries a mission past its first year. A chapter never runs all of this at once — it picks what its people need.

Monday
The national call — the state of the mission, what changed, what everybody is stuck on.
Tuesday
Local book club, in person where possible and on video where not.
Wednesday
Outreach — schools, churches, town halls, civic institutions.
Thursday
Tech club session, run by whoever in the chapter is most capable at it.
Friday
The chapter heads debrief the week together.
Monthly
The state-wide gathering.
Where to start

Pick one. Not all of it.

Nobody arrives at the top, and nobody does eight things at once. Almost everyone starts with a book and one conversation.
