035: Matt Beaudreau - Reshaping Financial Education & Preparing Kids to Succeed at Life

Oct 25, 2023

Today, I’m speaking with education disrupter, Matt Beaudreau. In 2016, Matt launched Acton Academy Placer – an alternative to the traditional education model that’s reshaping how kids learn. It’s not a school, it’s a workforce. 

After working his way from public school teacher to private school administrator, Matt got an up-close-and-personal view of the education system. He saw an opportunity to revamp education to prepare students to succeed at life — not just at standardized tests — and Acton Academy was born. 

Kids learn hands-on through trial and error, self-awareness, self-confidence, perseverance, and the things they're actually passionate about. 

More recently, Matt Co-Founded Apogee Strong – a specialized mentorship program designed specifically to shape young men into better providers and protectors. 

 

3 of the biggest insights from Matt Beaudreau…

 

  • Why the current education system fails to prepare many students for the real challenges of life — and how to reshape education to make key lessons stick.

 

  • The most powerful thing parents can do to prepare their children for financial literacy and sensitive real-world topics like religion and politics.

 

  • Ways to get your kids interested and engaged in learning about personal and family financial matters.
