Projects

Peterson Academy courses, rebuilt into an overview video, a slide deck, a deep-dive podcast, and a study guide. Resources light up as each one is finished.

Peterson Academy — Psychology

Psych 100: How to Plan Your Life

An overview video on turning the course's research into an actual plan for your life.

The overview video walks through the course's framework for setting and pursuing long-term goals, translated out of dense lecture format into something watchable start to finish.

Slide deck, podcast, and study guide are still to come.

Peterson Academy — Economics

Behavioral Economics and Human Decision-Making

A full four-part set — overview video, slide deck, podcast, and study guide — on why people don't behave like the models say they should.

The most complete set so far. The overview video covers prospect theory in five minutes, the slide deck maps every heuristic and bias from the course, the podcast digs into the Kahneman and Tversky experiments, and the study guide turns it all into flashcard-ready prompts.

Economics Psychology

Peterson Academy — Physics

Quantum Mechanics for the Curious Mind

Turning dense problem-set lectures into an approachable overview video and a podcast that explains superposition without the hand-waving.

The overview video became the on-ramp for this course, and the deep-dive podcast is what actually made the double-slit experiment click.

Slide deck and study guide are next up.

Peterson Academy — Art History

The Renaissance Mind: Art, Science, and Invention

A study pack on how Leonardo da Vinci and his contemporaries blurred the line between artist and engineer.

Sourced the course lectures, primary-text excerpts, and museum catalog notes, then generated an overview video, a slide deck for quick review, a deep-dive podcast episode, and a study guide with spaced-repetition prompts.

The deep dive focuses on da Vinci's notebooks — the mirrored handwriting, the anatomical studies, the habit of treating every observation as both art and data.

Peterson Academy — History

The Roman Republic: Rise and Ruin

A close read of the Republic's collapse, turned into a slide deck and study guide for tracking the key political flashpoints.

Ran the lecture set and assigned readings to build a slide deck timeline of the late Republic and a study guide of the Gracchi, Marius, Sulla, and Caesar in sequence.

Still working on the overview video and podcast for this one.

Peterson Academy — Philosophy

Stoicism and the Examined Life

Notes-to-multimedia pipeline covering Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius, built for repeat listening on long PNW drives.

Fed the course readings and lecture transcripts through the pipeline to produce an overview video for a first pass, a slide deck for review, and a podcast-style deep dive for the commute.

The study guide breaks the "dichotomy of control" down into a checklist I actually use.
