Call Summary: Christofuture Prep Vision and Conviction Allocation Strategy

Overview

Gary and Tim engage in a strategic Socratic dialogue crystallizing Gary's decision to focus exclusively on explicitly Christian education rather than secular microschool clients. The conversation establishes the thesis that schools are "prompt engineering for the next generation" and that attempting to secularize Christian educational goals is fundamentally impossible. Gary lands on "Christofuture Prep" as the flagship school name and clarifies his positioning as the "education hyperagent" uniquely combining die-for-Christ conviction with technological expertise.

Key Topics Discussed

Schools as "Prompt Engineering for the Next Generation"

• Core Thesis: Tim articulates that school systems are "prompt engineering for the next generation" - they fundamentally shape how the next generation thinks and acts
• Current Secular Prompt: Tim describes current schools as "secular, gay, medicated, atheistic" - Gary expands: "a grift by pharmaceutical industries... hopelessness... a system with no design, no craft... a sad shadow of Christian education that became secularized"
• Christian Purpose: Gary articulates the true purpose of Christian education: "bring as many people to heaven as possible"
• Key Revelation: "If you ban yourself from using Christian language, you're not going to have Christian goals, you're not going to have Christian design"

The Impossibility of Secularizing Christian Goals

• Gary challenges Tim: "How do you secularize 'I'm just trying to get as many people to heaven'?"
• Tim's response: "Impossible. It's antithetical."
• Game of Telephone: Gary describes secular education as a corrupted version of Christian education - like a game of telephone where the original message is lost
• Reference to Mikey Conversation: Gary recalled Mike Ajouz agreeing that "the goal of school should be to get as many people to heaven"

Conviction as a Non-Fungible Asset

• NFT Metaphor: "Your attention is a one of one NFT... people notice where you dedicate your attention. If you split your attention across, your conviction isn't enough"
• Conviction Scarcity: "You can only put conviction behind so many projects"
• Funding Implications: Gary recognizes he can raise more money if he's not "fragmenting conviction across a bunch of different projects"

Christofuture Prep Naming and Vision

• "Jesus Christ Prep": Gary's "joke that's not really a joke" - super in-your-face and polarizing
• Key Questions: "What would Jesus teach? How would Jesus grow up right now? Where would he prioritize his time?"
• Christofuture Prep: Gary lands on this as "a freaking great name" - "We're preparing you for the Christofuture"
• Domain Strategy: christofuturismprep.com for flagship, christofuturismschools.com as curation page for all Christofuturist schools

Gary's Unique Positioning as Education Hyperagent

• Tim's Analysis: "You're the only dude who can pull this off right now... There are only so few who actually combine true die-for-Christ conviction and progress-oriented worldview"
• Rare Combination: Die-for-Christ conviction + technological expertise + thought leadership in both Christianity and tech
• Holy Spirit as Co-Founder: Gary declares "The Holy Spirit is basically my co-founder" - either you get it or you don't
• Arbitrary Execution: "Basically any arbitrary thing that is part of God's will that Gary doesn't feel like he knows how to do yet, he'll figure it out with the help of the Holy Spirit"

Schoolhaus Partnership Recalibration

• Pros of Secular Clients: Revenue (the only real pro Tim could identify)
• Cons: Can't change mindset of existing organizations, context switching, confusion, diluted conviction
• Gary's Position: "I don't really care about microschools for microschool's sake... Everything is just to see a Cambrian explosion of Christian schools"
• Ron Roberts Structure: Gary considering telling Ron that his passion lies exclusively with Christian schools - Ron can run general Schoolhaus while Gary leads the Christian division
• Leverage Recognition: Tim points out Gary has leverage since Ron can't vibe-code apps like Gary can

Current School System as "Hell"

• Teacher Descriptions: Teachers Gary wants to work with "call it hell"
• Problems Enumerated: Can't talk about God but can discuss gender transitions (in some states), kids educated on TikTok, teenagers who can't read, teen pregnancies, cookies for lunch at charter schools
• Retaliation: "If you raise the issue, you get attacked or fired"
• Alpha Comparison: "Alpha is like a different kind of hell"

Education as Foundation of Christofuture Movement

• Movement Building = Education: "Building a movement is education. It's propaganda. It's training next leaders"
• Fellowship Connection: The Christofuture Foundation is already "a school for Christian hyperagents" - Gary needs perspective on what it means to be a Christian hyperagent today
• Overlap Recognition: Significant overlap between forming adults (fellowship) and forming children (K-12)

San Antonio Team and Ida Villavicencio

• Ida's Value: "Smart, badass women that care about kids genuinely... the mom to a bunch of people"
• Network Depth: Two multidecade mentees brainstorming with Gary - one woman (39) known by Ida since she was 13
• Intangible Assets: "These strengths... people don't talk about them because the people that think about money all the time treat humans as replaceable cogs"
• Ida's Father: Multi-decade superintendent/principal who knows wealthy funders

Tim's Appreciation for Gary's Approach

• Contrast with Networking Events: Tim notes Gary isn't looking for connections at "power hungry, all about themselves" networking events
• Meaningful Work: "So much more meaningful than another money grab tech wrapper project, AI ChatGPT wrapper project, prediction market, NFT"
• 2021 Tim Reflection: Tim admits his 2021 self "probably wouldn't hang out with Ida" because it's "not bleeding edge"

Financial Modeling and Execution

• Budget Thinking: Gary proposes ~$500K per school (tentative) to properly fund operations without relying solely on ESA money
• App Idea: Build a vibe-coded financial modeling app for microschool viability - input student numbers, facilities, target demographics, output funding requirements
• Action Item: Build financial modeling app this week ("micro app for microscope")
