Mentors Matter: Redefining Success for Today’s Teens


Listen Later

In this episode of Franklin UnlimitED, host William Campbell sits down with Henry Faber, co-founder of Oppidan Education, to talk about mentoring, confidence, and how today’s teens are navigating a high-pressure world.

They discuss what sets mentoring apart from tutoring, how schools can collaborate with outside organizations without losing focus, and why building a student’s confidence and self-awareness is just as important as academic success.

Henry shares how Oppidan began, how their mentors build meaningful relationships with students, and what he’s learned after working with more than 3,000 families across 100+ schools. The conversation also covers shifts in parent behavior, the growing relevance of executive functioning skills, and how AI is shaping the future of education.

This episode is a straightforward look at what it really takes to support student growth in and beyond the classroom.
