What is Free Agent Academy

Planet Earth’s premier school for discovering your Purpose, applying it to your Work and starting a Business. Personal Development is great, but it often comes without a direct application to a specific area of our life. That’s no good. And everyone would like to be self-employed and be their own boss, right? Us to. It’s the best vehicle for freedom in our culture. There are many offerings out there, but they focus on ‘what you do well’ or whatever idea you might have or they just showcases various opportunities. Thus why most attempts fail. The heart of a business endeavor is YOU.

So putting Personal Development and Business Development together is the key. No one person can do that for you. It takes a village of experts with a common goal…working together on you. This is Free Agent Academy. A revolutionary organization committed to revolutionizing your life.

We’re primarily an online school with quarterly live events in the mountains of Colorado. As of the Fall of 2012 we’re entering our 4th year and have served well over over 600 members.

Who is Free Agent Academy?

The proud founder is ‘Agent’ Kevin Miller, but so much credit is due to a slew of brilliant and serving people. Most are showcased on our ‘Meet the Professors‘ page and a few foundational people have moved on to other amazing free agent pursuits. It truly has been a group effort, which is much the point of Free Agent Academy.
