Why don’t we learn real life skills in school? The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but how the hell does that apply to real life?

School curriculums have not really kept up with our ever changing world. Leaving young people without real-world skills to enter further education and the workforce. We discuss what the future of education looks like, and how this will better prepare students for the contemporary world of work. In the meantime, the good thing is that you can start to learn these in-demand skills now - outside the classroom.

This episode we interview Byron Dempsey from Driven Young. Byron is passionate about educating young people about practical life skills. In this interview we hear about Byron's career journey and how he has built a community around his podcast. Byron also shares with us the top 10 topics we didn’t learn in school but should have.
