Episode description

The past forced us to live in a box, educated and mislead by the processes that are as dead and gone as the 80s yes man.

An era where the tools to be successful weren’t attainable by the common man.

People had to instead invest in working for the man.

With the hopes that their service would be valued even after they depart from the roll that they were married to.

Today, that is not the case

But the classroom still teaches and preaches the notion that you must leave your identity at the door.

And that if you did

the success that you dream of would-be for sure...

Standing high above the rest as you held that degree or diploma to your chest

Then we got hit by the great recession and everyone came out with some form of confession.

Showing us that we had to take our lives into our own hands and that the era of a lifelong organization wasn’t true.

Pushing you to focus on developing you

Because the only thing that would be around in the next 25 years was you and not the company that paid checks to you.

Pushing the next generation of Gen Z towards a new form of independence.

This is something that I realized through the work and words of Don Wettrick.

A man committed to redefining the perspectives of youth so that they can have a future that shines brighter than the sun we gaze upon.

Giving them all a closer connection to their identity and moving them farther away from the label placed on the box that they have been put in.

He realized that today’s work will demand authenticity, passion, commitment, and self-expression from his students in every layer of their fabric.

Pushing them to compete not for a seat at the table but instead for a chance to craft their own.

Helping them to realize that the tables have been turned and that it was their turn to create seats for others to join.

In this interview, you will hear just how Don Wettrick did this and after I will share what he and I created.

An opportunity to open doors for the next generation, regardless of where they came from or where they wanted to go.

Don’s classroom of high school visionaries has been recognized in Forbes 3 times, established multiple patents, has caught the attention of Tom Bilyeu, Gary V, Seth Goddin, Tim Ferris and many more.
