Hi, I’m James McManus.
I started Ay to Zee to prepare kids for their future because schools don't.
Whether it's college or a career, we'll do our best to prepare you for life. That's why we started Hard Knocks.
These courses were designed with great care and by many people who could be considered experts: successful people who have shared their advice and wisdom over the last 10 years.
