Chris Andrade

Small-group coaching with Chris Andrade — former U.S. Army Infantry & Military Intelligence Officer turned peacebuilder. Ranger-qualified combat leader, Johns Hopkins MBA & MA, PMP-certified — founder of PeaceBuilder Academy and builder of the AI-powered systems behind StrideOS.

StrideOS sessions

Your AI companion builds the week's deliverable with you — canvas, plan, pitch.

Cohort community

A private builders' group — wins, feedback, and momentum between calls.

Real-world action

Every week ends with something shipped to reality, not a checkbox.

Sprint 1: Purpose & Offer · Sprint 2: Build · Sprint 3: Launch & Sell — Demo Day at week 12.

This is for you if…

  • You have an idea (or a calling) for impact work and want it to pay your bills
  • You'll commit ~4–6 hours a week for 90 days
  • You want structure, deadlines, and people who expect you to show up
  • You're ready to sell something, not just plan something

This is not for you if…

  • You want a passive course to watch someday
  • You're looking for a get-rich framework
  • You can't make weekly live calls
  • You'd rather keep learning than start building

Questions, answered

Do I need a business idea already?

No — the first sprint includes the purpose and idea-screening work (Module 1 + Module 5 frameworks, AI-accelerated). You need the pull to build, not the blueprint.

How is this different from the free curriculum?

The curriculum teaches. The Labs make you ship — coaching, cohort accountability, deadlines, and demo day. The free content stays free; the Labs are the fast lane through it.

What if I can't afford it?

Pay It Forward funds scholarship seats in every cohort. Say so in your application — the mission is access, and the pricing funds that mission.

What do I actually leave with?

A launched venture: purpose map, venture canvas, offer, pitch deck, and your first real-world sales actions — every deliverable built in your StrideOS workspace, yours forever.
