  • Learning beyond the classroom: What schools do NOT teach you
    Jul 12 2021

    Learning beyond the classroom: What schools do NOT teach you

    Here is my interview with a group of high school interns from WorkWonder

    This summer, I have the great honor to work with a group of hardworking high school interns and coach them on LinkedIn, Social Media, and Entrepreneurship

    A project that we are working on right now is to help each intern launch a live streaming show

    The goal of this project is to help these interns

    📌 Develop essential life skills such as communication, listening, interviewing, and public speaking

    📌 Learn the ins and outs of live streaming so that they can fully embrace the Creator Economy

    📌 Grow their professional network through digital networking and interviewing professionals in their career field

    The results have been amazing

    ----

    QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS

    📌 How do today's young people use and perceive social media?

    📌 What most teachers do NOT know about social media?

    📌 How do today's young people perceive the value of school-based learning? What do they like and don't like about it?

    📌 What are the missing links in today's education?

    📌 Why is it no longer an option but a necessity to learn OUTSIDE the classroom?

    And much more

  • The Tragic Cost of Academic Achievement
    Jul 12 2021

    The Tragic Cost of Academic Achievement

    Here is my interview with Pam Roy, a meaningful education advocate and the co-founder of Straight-Up Impact & The Viktor Frankl Institute of America

    Striving for academic excellence & achievement is a common measure of success at many schools across the world

    Grades & test scores have become a default measurement & predictor of one's success later in life

    Few people actually question the legitimacy behind this arbitrary definition of success

    Even fewer people are aware of the REAL, TRAGIC COST of academic achievement Which is why I launched this weekly live show, WHAT IS SCHOOL FOR

    Its purpose is to DISCUSS, DEBATE & DISRUPT #ducation so that we become educated about the unknown & undiscussed ramifications behind today's education model

    --

    Excited to have Pam Roy on my show to discuss

    Mackenzie, a film that she co-produced, discusses the tragic costs of academic achievement

    Pam is an advocate for meaningful education

    She is also the co-founder of Straight-Up Impact + The Viktor Frankl Institute of America
