In the tech space today, it’s incredibly easy to get confused and have no idea what path to take. Let’s think about it for a second – how many CICD tools are out there? How many public clouds exist? How many Infrastructure-as-Code and Configuration Management Tools are relevant? The answer is A LOT. Because of that, how does an engineer or someone trying to turn into an engineer know where to start? It feels almost impossible…
The truth is quite simple really – it doesn’t matter how many different CICD tools or how many different cloud providers you know. The only thing that matters is how well you know your mind.

The mind is a powerful place, and how you use your mind to study is breathtakingly incredible, to say the least. The mind is so powerful that you can literally spend 30 minutes to 1 hour per day studying and if you do it right, be way ahead of the others that are studying for 3-5 hours per day with a huge amount of distractions.
Michael started The Directed Five because he was in plenty of situations throughout his career as a Systems Administrator, Developer, Senior Cloud Engineer, Lead DevOps Engineer, Consultant, and CTO where he had a lot to learn, a lot to study, and a lot to take in. He constantly thought to himself “there must be a better way to do this other than burning myself out”
He was right.
The Directed Five is about five key principles – Good Habits, Focus, Enjoyment, Persistence, and Dedication.
With the power of The Directed Five, you’ll soon realize that Cognitive Science plays a much bigger role in becoming a great engineer than studying all of the different tools and platforms.
You can expect a few different things from here:
- Free and paid coaching (which you can find here)
- Live and recorded coaching sessions
- Free podcast
- Cognitive engineering tips
- Blog posts on how to implement The Directed Five
The journey ahead of you may be frustrating at times, but the one thing that Michael can say with 100% confidence is that it’ll be worth it.
