Eyes, Hands, and Run Like H-E-Double Hockey Sticks The true story of what happens when faith, failure, and fire collide-then build something better. This isn't your typical memoir. It's part business book, part redemption arc, part adrenaline shot for your soul. Clay J. Abernathy was never supposed to succeed. A poor kid from Tucson with a clown suit in one hand and a real estate license in the other, he stumbled his way through knife sales, heartbreaks, hang gliding, failed startups, and full-on life collapses... only to build something the world desperately needed and didn't see coming: a new kind of school. A new kind of system. A new way to learn. In this raw, funny, and brutally honest book, Clay doesn't just tell you how he built Idea'l Trade Institute-he walks you through the years of grit, grace, failure, and faith it took to get there. You'll learn:Why the current education system is failing (and how we fix it) How to turn losses into launchpads What it means to lead when you're underqualified and overwhelmed How hands-on learning isn't just better-it's sacred And why your most painful moments might just be your blueprint Perfect for dreamers, builders, burned-out believers, and anyone tired of waiting for permission.
