184: Badass: This Is What You Get When an Entrepreneur Designs a School, with Heidi DeCoux

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If there’s one good thing that has come out of this pandemic, it’s that we’re seeing with more clarity than ever, the parts of our society that are broken. No longer can we sweep things under the rug, because the rug has been pulled out from under us.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Notwithstanding all of the conversations we’re currently having within our society, there is one area</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">especially as a parent with children heading back to school</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">—</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">that requires a new lens. And that is our education system. The days of kids going to school from 9–3 dates way back to the industrial revolution; a time where one parent was definitely staying at home to care for those kids. It is obvious that this is a system ripe for disruption and one that requires a new lens.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today, Heidi DeCoux, is focusing on exactly this. She is not an educator by background, but, in fact, an entrepreneur. She has an incredible vision for changing this world through education</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">by</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">looking at the outcome that we all wish we could have started our entrepreneurial journey from.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As we are all looking to a new school year, think of this as a tremendous opportunity to try something new on for size. Heidi is going to rock your world and disrupt your vision for what education can be!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[1:29] About today’s episode!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[4:00] Welcoming Heidi DeCoux to the podcast!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[6:20] Who Heidi is, what she is up to, and why she is the perfect person to talk about this topic today!</span>
