Drawing Different Maps with Braxton Wood - Act 2

In today's episode, I sat down with Braxton Wood, a homeschooled maverick who's rewriting the rulebook on education and career success. Without a high school diploma or college degree, Braxton shared how he climbed from recession-era collections work to a coveted tech company gig, all by "betting on himself." We dove into his DIY approach to learning – think marketing seminars in libraries with four attendees and an iMac for a projector – and how it shaped his "fail fast, fail cheap" philosophy. Braxton's take on the industrial roots of our education system had me rethinking everything I thought I knew about schooling. Between chuckles over his oil field mishaps and insights on embracing ambition, I couldn't help but wonder: could Braxton's unconventional wisdom spark a revolution in how we approach personal and professional growth?
