About this listen

In this episode Ben and Marcus talk education with esteemed guest Dr James L Moore III. Among other things he shared that female matriculation is outpacing males so much that the next phase for affirmative action may be for me. Other key points - we need school systems that adapt to kids rather than kids adjusting to the school system. His core 5 points for kids to succeed 1: Interest - it is hard to be interested if you are not exposed 2. Preparation - there is utility in practice (hard skills, soft skills, emotional intelligence, power skills etc) 3. Experiences - experiences are indicative of trajectory 4. Connections - your circles are critical 5. Opportunities - access to opportunities is important or else opportunities go unfilled How can you help? dedicate time to kids, share your talent, support financially and reach out and touch a kid
