Undergrad Founder's AI Personalizes Learning for 3 Different Learning Styles

What if education finally worked the way your brain actually learns? In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall interviews Affan Shaikhsurab, an undergraduate founder who's tackling the biggest problem in education: the gap between memorizing for tests and actually understanding concepts. His platform JourneyNext uses AI to create personalized learning experiences that adapt to whether you're a visual learner, need hands-on examples, or prefer audio content. Shaikhsurab reveals how 90% of online courses go unfinished because they force students into one-size-fits-all formats, and explains his solution that generates tailored 12-chapter courses based on your expertise level, learning goals, and preferred format. He shares the moment he realized education tests recall ability rather than true understanding, and how his collaborative features make learning enjoyable instead of a chore. For anyone frustrated with traditional learning methods or looking to master new skills, Shaikhsurab shows how AI can finally make education work for you instead of against you.
