Episode notes
Walking Out Of The Old Story
- Austin describes leaving college after feeling the system offered no meaningful answers and stepping into a period he calls the "space between stories."
- He quickly joined Wayfinding Academy after hearing Michel Jones speak and uprooted his life to enroll within two weeks.
Education As Choosing A Life
- Wayfinding's creed reframes education as choosing a life, not a college, and values curiosity over standardized sorting.
- It positions learning as woven with community and rejects soul-crushing debt as part of education.
Students Help Build The School
- Austin highlights that Wayfinding invited students to co-create the school and iterate openly rather than promise a finished model.
- He values being both a student and a builder of the institution's evolving practices.
