S E2: Future of Education: A New Way to Do School, featuring Jamal Gross and MacKenzie Price

Welcome to the Future of Education. If you’ve listened to any of my Gifted Minds episodes, you know I’m committed to helping our kids unlock their full potential. I believe the traditional education model is ripe for revolution and I’m working to define what the future looks like. So with this episode, I’m unveiling our new name and focus. We’re going to have a ton of fun talking about how artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies can help students turbocharge their academics and become lifelong learners. This episode, our first as the Future of Education podcast, is a great example …  When my daughter was in second grade, she told me school was boring. I was floored. The traditional education system, stuck in a 100-year-old model, had deflated her natural love for learning in just a few years. This lightbulb moment sent me on a mission to reinvent education so every child has a chance to explore their passions and promise.   In this episode, I sit down with Alpha Guide Jamal Gross, who also believes a revolution in education is long overdue. He went from coaching in the NBA to helping students drive their own success with AI as their co-pilot.
