How did we get here?  I'm now the teacher of an entrepreneurship class that is supposed to tour 80 businesses a year and shake the hands of up to 300 different community leaders.  

Enter COVID-19.  Yeah that class is not going to work.

Well, that's what COVID-19 did to education.  That's a lot of pressure and it's starting to reveal the cracks.

Just Help People w/ Rebecca Longawa

We believe entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking have the ability to disrupt our education system.  Our children deserve a system that teaches them value-adding, real-world skills that increase their chances of being successful when they leave it.  By sharing inspiring stories and new philosophies we hope to save education from itself.
