In this eye-opening episode of The 7th Cents Podcast, Mike Macklin and Coach R.L. Simmons break down a hard truth: why A students often end up working for C students—and what it says about our education system, mindset, and definitions of success.

They explore:
 🔍 The difference between academic intelligence and entrepreneurial hustle
 💼 Why grades don’t always translate to real-world financial success
 📚 How school rewards perfection while business rewards risk
 👨🏾‍🏫 Why mindset, creativity, and networking matter more than GPA
 💡 What parents and students should really be teaching the next generation

If you've ever felt like school didn’t prepare you for real life—this one’s for you.
