The January Challenge with Prof. Benstoem
How to Build the Academic Career You Want
You work hard. You do excellent research. But are you actually building the career you want?
Academic careers are 90% strategic planning.
Who gets the position? Who receives the funding? Who gets promoted? Academic careers follow rules. Some are written down. Others aren’t. And some of that knowledge is deliberately gatekept.
In January, I’ll show you how academia actually works. Give me 30 minutes of your time each working day in January.
We take weekends off.
Together, we’ll look at what matters for your career, how decisions are made, and how to build your own strategy. And then you make your first move.
Your career won’t be built in January.
But your strategy will be.
The challenge opens January 1, 2027. Our first lesson is January 4. Be the first to know when enrollment opens.
The waitlist gets in first, from November 17, with three extras: start right away, a live planning call in December, and 3 months of my paid Substack.
