Academy vs. VIP
Two Paths, One Method. Find the One That Fits Where You Are.
Both programs teach the same SUGAI Method™ I used to grow past two million followers. The difference is how much of me — and how much of the full toolkit — comes with you.

Do the Math Before You Decide
The Academy is a great place to start. But if you already know you're in this for the long run, here's what the numbers actually look like.
One Year of Academy
$2,388
vs.
VIP, One Time
$2,500
For about the same as one year of Academy, VIP gives you everything — the complete challenge library, quarterly live coaching with Dr. Sugai, personalized strategy, and the Professional Development Credential. That's the entire $10,000 program for a fraction of the price, while cohort pricing is open.

Which One Is You?
Start with the Academy if...
You're just getting serious about content, want to learn at your own pace, and aren't ready for a bigger investment yet. You can always upgrade to VIP later.
Go straight to VIP if...
You already know you're building a real presence, want the complete toolkit and credential in one move, and would rather invest once than pay monthly for years.
