Too many young learners lack engaging, future‑focused tools that spark curiosity about science, play, and innovation.

Imagine a child looking up at the sky, wondering what comes next, but feeling boxed in by stale toys and stale lessons. That’s when Anthony Hall stepped in. After years in Silicon Valley, Anthony founded TREO (The Rose of Education Organization) with a simple vision: to make learning playful, inspiring, and space‑ready. His brain‑child, the Dragons Fire Flying Egg, isn’t just a toy—it’s a zero‑gravity exercise platform that brings storytelling, technology, and movement together.

In this episode, Anthony shares how he moved slowly but purposefully toward entrepreneurship. He talks about:

• Growing up amidst tech culture and innovation
• Designing the Dragons Fire Flying Egg with physical play and imaginative narrative
• Using that creation as a springboard for STEAM learning—and ultimately preparing kids for a booming space economy
• Why storytelling still matters even in high‑tech toys
• How he balances mission with growth as an entrepreneur

You’ll walk away inspired to think about how simple tools—when designed with purpose—can ignite lifelong learning, curiosity, and future readiness.

Key Topics Covered:

• Zero‑gravity-inspired physical play
• Storytelling as a design tool
• Purpose‑driven entrepreneurship
• Preparing next‑gen learners for space economy careers
• Silicon Valley’s influence on mission-led innovation
