Miles is a graduate of the MOT program at the University of Utah, and when he was studying for the NBCOT he noticed something was missing. There was no resource for the moments when traditional studying just wasn't happening, the drive to the gym, the commute, the days when staring at another screen felt impossible. So he built one. The OT Exam Prepper podcast started as a solution to his own problem, and it turned into something students across the country rely on to get through this exam.

His path to OT ran through advertising and tech support before landing in healthcare, and that background shows. Miles thinks differently about how people learn. He understands that how we learn is just as important as what we learn, and that a student who grasps the big picture retains ten times more than one who's just grinding through a thousand pages of bullet points.

That's the energy behind everything he brings to 450 Formula. His superpower is simplicity, taking a concept that feels impossibly dense and finding the one angle that makes it click, usually with enough humor that you forget you're studying.

After failing her first attempt at the NBCOT exam, Kim didn't just study harder. She went on a mission to find the missing piece. What was it that the existing resources weren't giving students? Why were hardworking, intelligent people still walking out of that exam without a passing score?

That question drove over a decade of tutoring, content creation, and obsessive deep-diving into every corner of this exam. Ten years of sitting across from struggling students, figuring out exactly where the gaps were, and building better ways to fill them with her tutoring business The Missing Piece OT. The result is a depth of knowledge about the NBCOT that is genuinely rare - the kind that only comes from failing, rebuilding, and dedicating years to getting it right.

Kim brings that depth to every single lecture in 450 Formula. She knows what students who've tried everything else are missing and is the mastermind that ensures 450 Formula is grounded on exactly what you need to know, straight from the primary sources. She cares whether you pass, not just because it's her job, but because she's been exactly where you are.
