JOSH GLENN
Master the Skill That Makes Every Other Skill Easier
I teach the systems behind mastery—frameworks I've used across music, engineering, and business—to help you build real capability without burnout or hustle culture.
THE THROUGHLINE
I didn't set out to become a polymath.
I set out to solve problems—first in my own life, then in the world around me. Along the way, I kept noticing the same thing: whether I was learning a musical instrument, designing CNC systems, building automated businesses, or rebuilding my mental health, the process was the same.
What changed wasn't talent or motivation. It was the system.
This site is the home base for that system.
THE SYSTEM
Most people collect skills randomly. High performers build learning infrastructure.
This isn't a philosophy. It's an operating system I've applied repeatedly under real constraints.
At the core of my work is a repeatable framework built on a few principles:
Deconstruction
Break any skill or problem into its smallest meaningful parts.
Leverage
Identify the 20% of actions that create 80% of progress.
Deliberate Practice
Train the bottlenecks, not the comfort zones.
Systemization
Turn effort into repeatable processes.
Automation & Feedback
Let tools and feedback loops do the heavy lifting.
This framework works because it's domain-agnostic. I've applied it everywhere—from the machine shop to the recording studio.
PROOF
The method isn't theoretical. It's been stress-tested in the real world.
The same framework. Different environments. Same result: accelerated mastery.
Music
I used these systems to teach myself multiple instruments, perform publicly, and develop creative fluency without relying on traditional instruction.
Explore the music →Engineering & Manufacturing
I applied the same learning process to CNC machining and manufacturing—fields that reward precision, structure, and real-world execution.
Explore CNC work →Business, AI & Automation
From bootstrapped companies to AI-driven systems, I use the same frameworks to learn fast, build leverage, and reduce unnecessary complexity.
Explore SamurAI →THE LEARNING LOOP
The Learning Loop is where I share the thinking, systems, and mental models I use—without motivational fluff or productivity theater.
The Learning Loop is an ongoing feedback system: learn → apply → reflect → refine.

- •Systems thinking for work and life
- •Behind-the-scenes breakdowns of what I'm building
- •Cross-domain insights you won't get from niche experts
If you care about mastery, autonomy, and building a life with intention, this is where to start.
WHO IS JOSH GLENN?
A polymath who builds systems, not just skills.
I'm a musician, engineer, and entrepreneur who's spent years deconstructing how mastery actually works—not in theory, but in practice across wildly different domains.
What I've learned is that the process of learning itself is the meta-skill. Once you understand how to learn systematically, you can apply it anywhere.
This site is where I share that process—the frameworks, systems, and mental models that have worked for me across music, manufacturing, and business.
WORK WITH ME
If you're trying to figure out what to build, what to learn next, or which system is actually worth investing in, a strategy call helps clarify the path.
These conversations often route into one of my specialized businesses—or confirm that you don't need one at all.
CRAFT
I'm not interested in hype, shortcuts, or guru culture.
I care about craftsmanship—of skills, systems, and lives. Everything here is built with that in mind.
