I want to do amazing things. Maybe we all do ...

Though I've actually organized the infrastructure; all I'm missing are the financial resources to get it started, which have arguably been systemically denied me specifically.

I won't get into the sob story; I'm going to get into the action story, because it's a lot.

The goal is to become a whirlwind ... from apps and data to language classes and music then back again; and it's actually all possible, that's what blows my mind.

While what I've created is all connected; it's an interconnected ecology of economic learning machines.

I'm turning 42 on May 2nd, by the grace of the creator; the perfect number.

And I'm looking to raise $10,000 doing so; but not using GoFundMe, or Kickstarter, or any of the others ... I don't have faith in my presence on those platforms, but I have faith in my presence.

That is the difference –

The money will pay for one year of rent and healthcare; at present I have a job that can support auxiliary needs, while contributing to this work as well.

To be forthright, the money would put me in play to partner with them for marketing support and collaboration; I've already supplied them with an idea they are running with, and have record of receiving the credit.

Though this also demonstrates the issue I'm trying to evade; so often my ideas are taken and modified in ways that adversely affect the outcome; I would like a chance to have my own resources to carry out my own ideas to their aspired, and intended outcome.

One-hundred thousand dollars would accomplish this, though the deployment of that capital is a bit more intense, and requires a secure place from which to plan.

Ten to fifteen thousand provides sufficient time and space to work for one year.

Ok, fine a bit of sob story

I was adopted from Colombia to the Western suburbs of Minneapolis, MN – to a small town called Long Lake, Minnesota – white, wealthy and corporately Christian; I was never allowed peace, it has been a fight for survival since I was six months old.

Eventually I found my way back to my indigenous roots.

Actually one of the whirlwinds, after a few things have been established, is to raise the voices of the indigenous pueblos here in Colombia; and translate their words into English to be shared with people in the North.

Though to start off, if you'd like to contribute and get something really cool in return, I have Arhuaco mochilas for sale; shipping is not included and will be billed after purchase, and packages will be sent via USPS unless otherwise requested, and are shipped from Minnesota.

There are also other items for sale at shop.dreamfreely.org.

#1 English Classes

Sounds silly maybe, but this is the base, and it's not giving English classes individually; but creating a platform to connect teachers and students.

The catch is that the classes are structured in a very specific way; allowing for consistency and diversity in class experience. And this is what also allows for the platform to scale.

The economics is basic; provide a product people can trust. The way to do that is create a product people can know: provide consistency and diversity.

I've started building the database models; it is a relatively simple application.

The goal being to find 16 students to serve as the test pilots; though I don't need an application for that.

All that's needed is marketing support, for advertising spend; to find the first 16 to 32 students.

The marketing plan is relatively simple – four Instagram posts per week; carousels of me speaking Shel Silverstein poems, pages from books and technical articles: consistency and variety.

The most successful posts will be transferred to LinkedIn advertisements, and most posts will be recycled on TikTok as well.

Evaluations will be held in batches of 30 prospective students; by finding at least 40-60 people willing to participate in evaluations the target 16 to 32 students can be found.

Here is a link to the ad-script I'm working with; the first part is the advertisement and the second part is an extended YouTube video explaining my teaching methodology and logic.

There continues to be global demand, as well as a local Colombian demand; and this methodology is uniquely designed to improve English pronunciation, aimed at an advanced clientele.

Though while we scale, we are able to do so at a measured rate; build demand to outpace supply as a boutique supplier so that we grow organically and sustainably.

The price point is solid for sufficient profit; and globally competitive.

The product already has solid reviews from satisfied clients.

DigiSnaxx

The platform is on the verge of being open-books, and automated-ly so.

An open-source, open-books community calendar and directory.

While the scrapers are working consistently; the next step is to visual and organize some of the data being collected by the DoD scrapers.

As well, the idea is to open up DataSnaxx.com as a portal for those who want personalized data dashboards from DigiSnaxx data; while providing an open data panel for all things DreamFreely.

Advertisements are running on DigiSnaxx, with over 1500+ events listed per week, consistently; across three continents.

The idea is to create an open-source/open-books public utility; complete with attached technical academy via Rebel Coding, with DigiSnaxx at the center serving as a petri dish for digital experimentation and evolution.

API calls as in-game currency

DigiSnaxx is actually the entry point for an small ecosystem of learning platforms; whether that be learning a language, learning to code or learning how to be a better person and build a stronger community.

Each DigiSnaxx/DreamFreely subscriber earns at least 50 API calls each month of their subscription; and while they may not wish to use the API calls themselves for their intended purpose, perhaps there is a local organization, or individual who wants to build a web application project and needs the API calls to test it out. You can donate your API calls (APICs) to that organization and/or project.

But they aren't just given away for nothing, donated APICs become Snaxx; and these can be used for voting, buying and donating as well; numerically they could be considered to have a value of $.01 per Snaxx, according to the subscription price, with two free months of Snaxx for yearly subscribers.

Instead of buying a subscription to a platform, you are obtaining access to a transparent regenerative economy; an experiment in community and evolution.

La Casa Ingles dot com

If DigiSnaxx is the flagship of DreamFreely, La Casa Ingles is the crown jewel.

A physical space to provide classes, a small cafe, retail space and living space for teachers, or advanced students.

This is also where DigiSnaxx is able to connect with a real-world venue and provide programming as well as in-person community support.

This is what the $100k is for; building an entrepreneurial taproot through La Casa Ingles.

But it all starts with $10k, to establish security for the foreseeable future and build the routine.

Geopolitics

Why invest in a company that is physically based outside of the US?

Because we are corporately based in Minnesota; and this is about hemispheric cohesion.

At the core of our work is expanding access to the English language, which continues to be a gateway to global commerce and engagement.

All primary accounts remain US-based, as this is not a vehicle for me to make money; but rather a vehicle for me to share my love for life with others in the most equitable, and safest, way possible.

And I would LOVE your support to help me do that.

You can become a member, or provide a one-time donation.

For those interested in investment opportunities; the $100k is being raised using SAFEs with a slightly modified MFN attached; pending a successful raise, we plan to do one more, and then bow out of the race, able to grown on our own assets and investments.
