What Scale Means for Educational Impact

In this episode of the podcast, Dan and Ray sit down with David Yip - former Salesforce Director for Education in APAC, UNSW Business School advisory board member, and host of the Relearning Work podcast. Together, they explore how education must adapt in a world shaped by AI, where learning and earning can no longer be separate. David shares insights from his work in big tech, his leadership with the Future Skills Organisation, and his new platform alumly, designed to bridge the gap between study and employment. This conversation unpacks themes of scale, the need to shift from finding answers to asking questions, and why the future of learning must be deeply human-centred - even in a tech-driven world.   Resources   We talked about some of the stories we'd heard on David's own podcast, Relearning Work Podcast, which is on Apple podcasts and Spotify.  During the interview the episodes we mentioned specifically were:
