I never learned
to type.

Grant Whitmer is a humanities major who never learned to type — and who built a voice platform with his voice alone, then used it to write books, screenplays, and research papers, to build software and companies, and to publish his own work in seven languages.

He is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a former Surface Warfare Officer. As Officer-in-Charge of a clandestine special-operations vessel, he ferried Navy SEAL teams in and out under cover of darkness. He placed fifth at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Greco-Roman wrestling. He grew up in a one-stop-sign village in Vermont, learned violin by ear at five, and runs a line of English coonhounds descended from the same stock George Washington himself imported.

For two decades he built businesses — co-founding three nationwide mortgage companies. Today he is co-founder, co-owner, and a board member of Clear Home Loans, a nationwide lender. He is also a lifelong guitarist and violinist who has played the Beast, Joseph, and the Pirate King on stage — and taught hundreds of Naval Academy midshipmen to play guitar through long, locked-in nights of tragic blues.

None of that, in any combination, prepares a man to publish in information theory. He would like the record to reflect that he agrees with you about this.

Then, in the spring of 2025, he saw a Facebook ad with Steve Wozniak's face on it — reproduced a half-million-dollar software platform in thirteen prompts and forty-five minutes — and stopped typing for good. He rebuilt his own mortgage company's workflows by voice. Friends and family asked him to do the same for theirs. It grew from there.

Now he teaches it full-time — boot camps, coaching, and consulting, nationwide — because he realized conducting intelligence is a learnable craft with a spectrum of skill, and it is about to become the one skill that decides everyone's trajectory.

He calls it conducting intelligence. This is where you learn it.
