312: Discovering the Right Career Path for Neurodivergent Kids, with Hannah Maruyama


Listen Later

Is college really the only path to success? Not even close.

In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Maruyama, co-founder of Degree Free, to challenge the outdated idea that college is the ultimate goal for every kid — especially for neurodivergent kids who may thrive outside traditional systems. We get deep into how redefining success, focusing on real-world needs, and shifting the career conversation can change everything. Learn why starting with your child's unique lifestyle goals leads to a far more satisfying and successful future, and why the old "college = success" formula just doesn't add up anymore.

Ready to rethink what your child’s future can look like? Listen now and empower your family to build a life by design, not by default.
