Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today I am joined by Elizabeth Knight.

When Elizabeth graduated from high school, the world was her oyster - or so it seemed. She had a 99.85 ATAR, a full scholarship to the university, and was an all-rounded student. The opportunities for Liz’s future were endless!

But she was directionless and without a purpose. Liz had absolutely no idea what she wanted to do with her life, or who she wanted to become.

Ever since she’s been on a mission to transform the way that we educate young people about their careers, and transform our education system into one that is relevant, empowering and purposeful.

Liz founded Purposeful all the way back in 2018, touching hundreds of lives and building a community bigger and stronger than she could have ever imagined!

And today we go into her story, the frameworks and processes she uses to help young people figure out what they want to do.

Thanks to Student Edge for helping set up this interview, they have created a new online program that teaches all the practical life skills we should have learnt in school, skills I teach on this program but in a more structured format and awesome mentors. check them out at Studentedge.org.

As per usual please DM me on Instagram if you enjoy this episode and if you are in Sydney make sure you come along to my information night and check out my upcoming program. Now over to Elizabeth

This is my longest episode to date and such a unique and interesting conversation, I am really excited to share with you.

Baron is probably one of my all-time favourite TikTok creators. His content is unlike anyone else on the platform. He almost creates mini-movies layered with comedy, philosophy and usually a deep massage. As someone who wanted to be a filmmaker his content and ability to tell a story is phenomenal and he's inspired me to start creating similar videos around issues I want to communicate.

We actually met through his girlfriend Katrina who lives in Sydney and was introduced to me via a friend. If you have heard me talk about the 1000 doors concept you can see it in action right now.

In this episode, Baron and I talk a lot about TikTok, how the platform works, how he got started as a creator, his opinions on college and university, storytelling, psychology, growing old, marvel and much more.

Make sure you click the link below to sign up for Baron's new book when it comes out, I am really excited about it.

Louise is such a great person who's has championed myself and my message. She has introduced my to 4 people who came on my show so now it is her turn.

In this episode, we talk about a lot of different things. We start with her story, how she works with me to help them with their fashion and become a better version of themselves, the insecurities she encounters in men, then about halfway through we switch the conversation and discuss my other podcast called Content and consequences with Brent Sanders.

We go deep into sexual assault and how men can help solve the problem. This is a great episode for me but also for women who want to understand the struggles men face and how to help us. I really love this episode and I think it is so important.

Just a trigger warning for anyone who has dealt with sexual assault, we don't get into details but we discuss this topic a lot.

You all know I am passionate about changing the education system, I think the Australian education system and so many others are doing a very poor job at preparing us for the real world, and today I am joined by an expert who has been in the education system for over 35years.

But not the Australian education system. Finlands. The number one education system in the world.

Pasi Sahlberg is a Finnish educator and author. He has worked as a schoolteacher, teacher-educator, researcher, and policymaker in Finland and advised schools and education system leaders around the world. He served as a senior education specialist at the World Bank (Washington, DC), as a lead education expert at the European Training Foundation (Torino, Italy), as a director-general at the Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture (CIMO), and as a visiting professor of Practice at Harvard University.

In 2013 his book “Finnish Lessons: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland” won the Grawemeyer Award (USA) for an idea that has potential to change the world. His most recent books include "Let the Children Play: How more play will save our schools and help children thrive" (2019, with William Doyle), "Finnish Lessons 3.0: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland” (2021), and "In Teachers We Trust: The Finnish way to world-class schools" (2021, with Tim Walker). He is Professor of Education Policy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.

Kirsten is an undergraduate student completing a dual Bachelor of Journalism and Bachelor of Science (Zoology major) who plans to break the mould of Science Communication and documentary filmmaking.

Now that is very niche so why have I got Kirsten on the podcast? Well, this weeks episode is all about self-discovery as well as finding your feet in STEM. Which stands for Science Technology, Engineering and math.

Kirsten is unique because she decided to go to university at 26 years old and she actually created her own degree in a sense. She discovered two things she is passionate about, science and communication and studied those two subjects creating her own felid in a sense.

Today we talk about what Kirsten did before she was 26, how much travelling changed her life, how to get into STEM in non traditional ways, how to discover what to do with your life and immediate next steps to take and so much more.
