Your Two Cents Matter™. This is where purpose meets preparation—and legacy begins.
At My Two Cents Matter™, we’re not just building homes — we’re building whole lives.
Through hands-on trade training, mentorship, and care-based education, our community members gain more than skills—they gain restoration, confidence, and calling. Whether it’s carpentry, commercial spray painting, mobile business development, or our upcoming Heavy Machinery Operator School, this is about creating real pathways to stability, ownership, and legacy.
We also teach how to work with the land, not just on it—through gardening, farming, furniture repurposing, and sustainable building methods that help reduce our carbon footprint. This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about long-term stewardship, healing ecosystems and communities at the same time.
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword here. It’s a responsibility—and a sacred strategy.
This isn’t charity.
This is divine strategy—a blueprint for wholeness, and a movement for those called to build what lasts.

We’re not just dreaming of a better world — we’re preparing people to build it.

With relationships already in place — from master carpenters and mechanics to educators, trade school partners, and land stewards — we’re laying the foundation for skill-based, soul-centered education that heals and empowers.

What We’re Building Toward:

Carpentry & Sustainable Building Workshops
Hands-on training led by seasoned craftspeople, ready to pass on real skills with real purpose.

Mechanics Training & Mentorship
Guidance from professionals who know the trade — and how to teach it with integrity.

Eco-Conscious Living Classes
Composting, upcycling clothing and furniture, and mastering creative self-sufficiency — the kind of knowledge that sustains both people and planet.

Commercial Spray Painting
A real income stream. Equipment in place. Training already underway.

Healing-Centered Learning
Because repairing the heart is just as vital as learning a trade.

In Honor of Antonio Cutts
Marine. Master Operator. Mentor. Legend.
Always in a white cowboy hat.
Antonio Cutts didn’t just operate heavy machinery — he mastered it.
A proud U.S. Marine and self-made business owner, Antonio took on jobs others wouldn’t touch — and completed them with quiet power.

In the late ’70s, he applied twice to a heavy machinery school.
Twice, he was denied — because he was Black.
But he built his career anyway.
Bought his own equipment. Launched his own company. Became one of the best.
Years later, a massive construction project came to a halt.
A dangerous cliff had to be excavated to lay a foundation for what was believed to be a hotel.
No one dared take it on. Crews reached out to schools across the region — teachers, students, alumni.
No one could. No one would.
Even the very school that once denied Antonio came to assess the site —walked away.
But before they left, they said:
“If you find someone who can pull this off, please call us. We’d like to bring our class to watch.”
They found Antonio.
He showed up. Scoped the land. And did the job.
Flawlessly.
That same school — the one that once said no — came back with an offer:
Teach with us. Set your own schedule. Name your price.
Antonio said:
“In 1979, I applied to your school, and you wouldn’t have me.
So no, I won’t teach at your school.
But you’re welcome to watch.”
And they did.

Introducing:
The Antonio Cutts School of Heavy Machine Operation
A training ground for the brilliant, the overlooked, and the ready.
Because no one should ever have to ask permission to build —
not when they were born to do it.

Antonio’s story isn’t just inspiration.
It’s the reason we break ground at all.
