In a candid discussion with Bill Coplin, we dive deep into the critical examination of the liberal arts education model. Bill shares his journey from being disillusioned with traditional education pathways to pioneering a skills-focused approach at Syracuse University. This episode sheds light on the importance of experiential learning, the pitfalls of a scholar-focused system, and the need for higher education to serve the "commoner" by preparing students for real-world challenges and careers.
