Learn by being there.

Shadow creates one-day, immersive learning experiences alongside people doing real work.

Instead of reading about a career or hearing advice from a distance, Shadow lets you step inside someone’s day - observe, ask questions, and see how the work actually happens.

Real world experiences > second-hand lessons.

How it works

1. Tell us your goals
   Share your interests, stage of life, and what you want to learn.

2. We match you with someone doing the work
   A builder, operator, craftsperson, creative, entrepreneur, or leader in your area of interest.

3. Spend one day in their world
   Shadow key meetings, workflows, conversations, and routines.
   Get perspective, clarity, and real-world understanding.

4. Leave with insight and next steps
   One day can change your direction - or solidify it.
