Welcome to The Next Step Academy — where leadership is real, discipline is clarity, and people learn by doing.

I’m Erick, and after 20+ years training soldiers, workers, drivers, chefs, and leaders across multiple industries — I discovered one truth:

People don’t need motivation.
They need structure, process, and the next step.

Here you’ll find:
• Real leadership lessons
• Discipline-based training
• How to build independent teams
• How to correct mistakes without ego
• How to train anyone using real examples
• Stories from the Army, operations, and the kitchen
• Personal development through WORK, not theory
• Chapters of my book as I write it in real time

This channel is for:

✔ people who want to grow
✔ managers who want better teams
✔ leaders who want clarity
✔ anyone tired of motivational bullshit
✔ anyone who wants REAL improvement

If you know the next step, you’re already ahead.
Let’s build the next step together.
