The Asia Tech Podcast was intrigued by our conversation with Sina Meraji, the CEO and Founder of Learning Loop. Learning Loop is a proprietary learning framework that helps people learn one valuable and relevant unknown together, every month.

Some of the topics that Sina and I discussed:

  • Growing up in Iran and moving to Malaysia when he was 15 years old
  • Coming from an educator family
  • Being motivated to solve the wealth gap with education

  • Moving to Singapore from Malaysia because he could not open a business bank account
  • The mismatch between knowledge consumed and the positive output it creates

  • How attention management is crucial to learning
  • Redesigning the learning experience based on intrinsic and extrinsic motivations
