This week's conversation is with Mora Segal, the CEO of the Achievement Network, often referred to as "ANet".

I'm really excited about this conversation. In the first half, we talk about what it means to be an entrepreneur and what scale means in education. It's a great listen, especially in combination with Episode 2, my interview with Scott Given. If Scott's interview is about how you found something, today's interview is about how you grow something.

In the second half of the interview, we talk about a research paper on the Achievement Network. It's a great case study on how an organization thinks about translating research into action under the ideal scenario where they have a high quality randomized trial of their own program that uncovers challenging results.
