How to Accelerate Learning & Improve Education | Joe Liemandt

My guest is Joe Liemandt, technology entrepreneur and principal of Alpha School, a K-12 model that uses AI and individualized learning to help students master academics in just two hours a day, freeing the rest of their time to build businesses, conduct experiments, engage with their communities, and develop practical life skills. We discuss Alpha’s promising results, tools parents and educators can use today, and Joe’s vision for how AI could transform education and human potential.
