How Adaptive Education Can Change the World with Navid Nathoo

In this episode, Tommy talks with Navid Nathoo, founder of The Knowledge Society, a global human accelerator helping young, ambitious people make impactful changes.

In 2016, while trying to figure out his next career move, Navid and his brother Nadeem asked themselves a simple question: what would they do if they had 10 billion dollars? They quickly realized it wasn’t what they’d do, but what problems they’d solve. They were astounded at how many of the world’s major problems filled one sheet of paper.

Navid and Nadeem discovered the root cause of the root cause: a broken education system. While the world around us expands exponentially, our educational institutions remain stagnant, filtering out students rather than preparing them for the world ahead. This is what their project is aiming to change in a meaningful way.

Tommy and Navid talk about the similarities between The Knowledge Society and startup accelerators, the secret sauce for entrepreneurial success, and why failure is a requirement for any meaningful result.
