Meet Ernest Moss of WTF! What’s The Formula Mentoring Academy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ernest Moss.

Hi Ernest, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, let’s briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
I am a father of 5, and while we are not a military family, the only feasible option was college if the goal was to be considered successful by the mainstream. My wife and I have multiple degrees, so we understand the sacrifice of time and energy required to get a college degree. Several of our children had no interest in college or the military, so I thought, hmm, what are their options? Work a heavily induced laborer job? My children are not built for that, so we had to do some brainstorming, and as parents, we joined a mentorship program to take our success to another level and assist our children as they embark on this thing we call, Adulting. Upon close review, we learned about the digital marketplace and the opportunities we were presented with; based on this knowledge, we jumped in with both feet! I created several digital products, and from that, I started a mentoring academy, WTF What’s The Formula, where we focus on young men, who don’t want to go to college or the military, yet have a desire to be successful without having to do laborious work. And several of my coaches and mentors created Formulas for success, and the first formula we teach is BS (Belief System). I am a heavily sought-after public speaker, and my presentations aim to enlighten parents and educational officials with options that may not align with traditional practices and customs.

Please talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned. Looking back, has it been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It’s been an amazing ride! What many see as losses, I view as lessons. My perspective and BS allow me to see the beauty in everything we do. Struggles? Of course! One of the greatest struggles is getting someone to believe in themselves when they’ve been told for their entire life that they were mess ups etc.—or getting a parent who doesn’t have much hope for their child to start believing that their child is amazing and a walking miracle.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about WTF! What’s The Formula Mentoring Academy?

We have a community of liked minded individuals who have a safe place to discuss concerning issues etc. Some of our mentees started with us because they mentioned they were considering suicide, and now they understand who they are.
