Today, our guest is Bob Luddy, and we're discussing Educational Entrepreneurship. Bob is the founder of CaptiveAire, St. Thomas More Academy, Franklin Academy, Thales Academy, and Thales College, defines and discusses the "educational entrepreneur." He explains education's role in changing culture, the significance of finding the right people for leadership roles, and the value of persistence in building an organization. At the close of the episode, Bob explains why he wanted to found a college. Making entrepreneurs is, in one sense, impossible, but the conditions for entrepreneurship involve immersion in liberal education and vast experience in business. That's what Bob wants Thales College to be.
This special episode with Bob Luddy was originally aired on the The Optimistic Curmudgeon podcast.
