who i am

Hi. I am Ben. My obsession is fixing education, specifically higher education (for example, here is a podcast I made for a class in 9th grade). I am 21 and dropped out of college to fix the issues.

the podcast

My show consists of 2 parts.

The first is interviewing the best people in the world working on fixing education along with young people who have taken alternative paths to the traditional education system.

The second part is every week I read a new biography of one of the world’s most impactful people.I am going to focus on putting out 1 30 minute episode per week taking a 30+ hour biography and distill it into 30 minutes.

The Queue (updated weekly)

Week of 9/29: Ben Franklin by Walter Isaacson
