Rock. Do. Suck.
Steve helps people who are knackered from trying to be good at everything. Be brilliant at the few things that matter, do enough to hold your own everywhere else, and happily suck at the rest. That's not a fantasy. It's a decision.

Start here
Three doors. Pick the one that sounds like you and skip the rest.
A keynote that leaves people with one thing to do on Monday, a host who holds the whole day together, or a workshop that actually shifts something.
Fifty minutes, you and Steve, on whatever's jammed. Part coach, part problem-solver, no homework and no twelve-week programme.
No gate, no funnel, no email wall. Steve puts what he works out on the internet for anyone standing where he used to stand.
The method
Two questions sort your entire to-do list. Does it matter? And are you any good at it? Where you land tells you what to protect, what to scrape by on, and what to let go with a grin.
For years Steve only had two settings. Things he rocked and things he sucked at, and exactly one move: grind the sucks into rocks. It nearly cooked him. Then he found the third option that had been sitting in the middle the whole time.
Tap a square to open it up
Where it all comes from
His dad died at 41 and left him thirteen minutes and twenty seconds on a cassette tape. No map, no manual, nobody to ring and ask. So he said yes to things he wasn't ready for and figured them out as he went, and that habit turned into everything on this page.
Thirteen minutes and twenty seconds. That's everything his dad got to leave him. Time doesn't roll over. That's the whole reason this exists.
No door owns me.
Steve made that promise behind an ice cream counter in 2015, in the weeks after his mum died, when the shop wouldn't let him stop to grieve. Learn Awesome has had no office and no fixed anything ever since.This is what passing it on looks like
No gate, no funnel. Steve puts what he works out on the internet, for anyone standing where he used to stand.
