If You Want To Change the World, Educate...

DR. MICHAEL GERVAIS
About this episode

This week’s conversation is with Sal Khan, the founder and CEO of Khan Academy, a nonprofit organization on a mission to provide free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.

Since its inception in 2008, Khan Academy has helped teach hundreds of millions of students around the world through their adaptive online learning platform.

Sal has three degrees from MIT, an MBA from Harvard Business School, and most recently founded the Khan Lab School, a nonprofit brick-and-mortar private school in Mountain View, CA working to bring Sal’s vision of a mastery-based, blended learning system to life.

Sal has an extraordinary mind and his purpose is clear – I really enjoyed taking a deep dive into his journey, and I can’t wait for you to learn from his unique approach to life, learning, entrepreneurship, and commitment to making the world a better place.
