What does it mean to be educated? Is school the only place that education happens? Being educated will mean different things to each of you, but no matter what, today, I am urging you to take your education into your own hands. 

 

In this episode, I am breaking down what it means to be educated and why education is not limited to the confines of a classroom. Because it’s time to really question this concept of being educated, especially if we assume the purpose of schooling is to become educated. 

 

What We Cover:

• The purpose of what school really is
• How to take your education into your own hands
• The barriers that schools create around learning
• What it means to be in a flow state
• Why you need to take more initiative in your education

 

“If you build the habit of intellectual curiosity and independence early, you will keep evolving even as the world radically changes with technology, you will be able to adapt and succeed.”
