393: The World’s First Teen Innovation Accelerator with Navid Nathoo and Viola Seda

Is the education system dropping the ball with our children? Our world is changing at breakneck speed, and as parents, it’s our job to make sure our kids aren’t left behind.  My guest, Navid, is the Co-Founder of The Knowledge Society (TKS), the world’s first “human accelerator” exposing teens to future-shaping tools like AI, blockchain, and green energy.  One of his students, Viola Seda, has worked with AI in billion-dollar companies and was part of a team working on a cure for type-2 diabetes using gene therapy and nanotech. The crazy part is, she’s 14 years old! Some of my favorite moments of the conversation: How schools fail to prepare our kids. Kids can impact the world too! Help them to find their calling, then step aside.   Learn more from life's stumbles. The downside of parental overprotection.  Unconditional love to take on the world.  Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?
