Supply Chain Independence Workshop -- Self-Sufficiency
Building a self-sufficient military supply chain. Local manufacturing, resource management, trade network building, reducing dependence on external suppliers. The French tried to starve me of weapons. I built my own factories. Tip: Every dependency is a vulnerability. Every skill you outsource is a throat your enemy can cut.
Germ Theory Demo -- Swan-Neck Flask Experiment
Replicate my famous experiment. Two flasks of broth: one open, one with a swan-curved neck. The straight one spoils. The swan-neck stays clear for years. I still have flasks from the 1860s that are sterile. This experiment ended the debate on spontaneous generation forever.
Color Filter Set (Optical, RGB + Complementary)
Precision optical filters: red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow. Mount them on a light source and explore additive and subtractive color mixing. Combine red and green light -- you get yellow. This surprises everyone. Color is not in the objects. Color is in the light and in your eyes.
Audition Preparation Coaching -- The 3-Minute Performance
You get three minutes to show them everything. I teach you to walk in prepared, grounded, and PRESENT. We work on your specific audition piece -- cold read or prepared. Tip: They've decided about you before you open your mouth. Own the room from the door.
War Elephant Tactics -- Psychological Warfare Seminar
How to deploy elephants as terror weapons. Mahout positioning, formation breaking, countering elephant charges. The elephant is a psychological weapon first, physical second.

Viking Navigation Workshop -- Stars, Sunstones & Currents
How the Norse navigated the open Atlantic without compass or sextant. Sunstones (calcite crystals) to find the sun on cloudy days, star patterns, wave reading, bird sighting. I sailed from Scandinavia to Paris to the Mediterranean. Tip: The sea has patterns. Learn them and the ocean is a road, not a barrier.
Slide Guitar (Bottleneck Glass + Steel)
One glass slide, one steel slide. The tools that turned Delta blues into electric Chicago blues. I'll show you open tuning, slide technique, and how to make a guitar cry. The blues isn't about being sad. It's about surviving.
Open Tuning Guitar Workshop -- Beyond Standard
I play in fifty different tunings because standard tuning bored me. I'll teach you DADGAD, open D, open C, and my own tunings that don't have names. Different tunings make the guitar a different instrument. One guitar, fifty voices.
Upright Piano (Honky-Tonk, Tuned to Party)
A beat-up upright that sounds like Saturday night in Louisiana. Not a concert instrument. A PARTY instrument. Great Balls of Fire was never played on a Steinway. It was played on a piano like this, with the sustain pedal stuck and the lid wide open.
Dramatic Lighting Workshop -- Chiaroscuro for Photographers
One light source. Complete darkness. That's all you need for the most dramatic images in the world. I'll teach you to see light the way I painted it -- as a weapon. Works for painters, photographers, and filmmakers. Bring your camera or your canvas.
