Take Flight with Abby Falik
Abby Falik is constantly thinking about what it actually means to prepare for a life - not just a career. She took a year off during undergrad to travel Latin America alone, then convinced her university to give her credit for it. She went to business school not because she cared about business, but because she wanted to learn how to work with power.
This was the mindset that led to her founding Global Citizen Year, which encourages graduating high school students to take a gap year, and now The Flight School, which takes that thinking one step further, providing fellowships to graduating students for a “launch year” - and for an education that she says is “higher than higher ed.”
Abby’s thinking about travel, entrepreneurship, self-discovery and lifelong learning is fascinating, and I loved this conversation. We talked about where self-permission comes from, why the most formative learning often happens outside the classroom, and why real change is *always* an inside job.
