On this show I am joined by Liz Jackson. Liz is the education & program director at startup.business. She has a diverse teaching background spanning over 10 years.

In 2018 she launched the first National Brilliant Business Kids Festival to build a safe and sustainable ecosystem where academia, government and industry engage with young people with a focus on solving local and global issues using innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset.

On this episode Liz discusses the future of education, and the journey she has been on to bring the teaching of entrepreneurial skills and mindset to kids in schools. She discusses the importance of helping kids to think for themselves, find their passion, be resilient and develop problem solving skills. She also highlights the upcoming National Brilliant Kids Festival and Pitch Competition.

The evolution of our education system is something we should all be interested in. I hope you take something away from this episode.
