After nearly five years, The Taggart Institute is changing locations. We are departing Teachable as our course platform and Discord as our community gathering space. I've been contemplating these moves for a while, but recent events have convinced me that now is the right time.

Our formula was simple: make the basic courses free, and charge a reasonable price for advanced content. We hoped the quality of the free courses would motivate purchases of advanced material for those who could afford it.
