About the Owner Micah Blake

I believe in learning the things you are interested in. This belief has brought me to many amazing things in life. I think you have the ability to learn anything and do anything you want in life. As I learn things I teach them to others. After I have taught the same thing over and over I decide to get it down on video so anyone can learn it too.

   Whether you want to learn music, start a small business, or learn divination I have resources to help you out. I enjoy learning and I hope you can have fun learning from me.

   Decide what your dream is and go and get it.
