This episode I am talking with Jacob Slaughter. Jacob is a good friend of mine; we were actually roomates at the Mountain School, which you will hear a bit more about in the podcast. An 18 year old high school senior from Vermont, Jacob is one of the top cross country skiers in New England and an accomplished student who has done much of his high school coursework at Dartmouth. He is the winner of a National essay contest and holds two patents, which he designed in middle school. He is about to take a gap year before heading off to Yale. Most importantly though, he is thoughtful and curious and I especially enjoyed our conversation.
