In episode 16 of the Future Minds podcast, we spoke with Pete Le Roux.

Pete Le Roux is the CEO of Stone Dragon and a proud educator of 29 years. He holds a master's degree in Marine Ecology and an HDE from the University of Cape Town. Pete is proudly married to his lovely wife, Sue, the head of Emergency Medicine at a secondary hospital in Cape Town, and father to Cami, his 17-year-old daughter.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Pete's unique and powerful views on education.

- The importance of shouldering responsibility at a young age.

- The raw potential that lies within each student.

When Pete was in Grade 10 he made a choice to teach and has never regretted it.

"Along the way I have learned to believe in the humanity and the raw power of adolescents. I believe in their capacity to make a change, their open-hearted compassion, and their devil-may-care courage. I have learned to love the liquid joy of being in their company and the blunt satisfaction of fighting for them. I have spent years fighting alongside them too, on behalf of others far less fortunate. In each young person I see the dormant dragon; glittering, gleaming, moving softly in the half-light."
