EP30: Isaac Morehouse - Experience Based Education
LE30: Isaac Morehouse - Experience Based Education\n\nThe question \u201cis college actually worth the cost\u201d is now being asked by countless students and parents. What is the purpose of college in an age where everything is available online? What is the actually experience that you are paying for? Is it to learn a skill or is it mostly a sham? \n\nThis week\u2019s guest, Isaac Morehouse, believes that there\u2019s a better way and built a new type of educational opportunity that is founded in mentorship rather than studying for tests and going to class. \n\nDiscoverPraxis.com gives students an opportunity to work along-side real entrepreneurs and see the day-to-day, inner workings of an actual company being built. This is actionable education that you simply cannot get by sitting in class for 6 hours/day. \n\nPraxis = Combination of theory and practice\n\nWill Isaac change your perspective on \u201ceducation\u201d vs \u201cexperience\u201d? Do you go to college? If so, how valuable did you find it? Were you left with a large student debt bill at the end? Is there a better way\u2026.?\n\nFavorite sections and quotes: \n\n\u201cBuild an alternative! Stop arguing about why \u201chigher education\u201d sucks, but instead give them a choice of something different. If you can create value and can offer a better way, then people will want it.\u201d\n\n\u201cEntrepreneurship is \u201cphilosophy in action, it\u2019s applied philosophy\u201d. \n\n\u201cDo you see yourself as Me Inc? You are your own company and brand. How can you increase the value you bring to others and how do you signal that to the market?\u201d\n\nQuestion (towards the end):\nWhat would the world look like if education was based on a mentorship or apprenticeship system rather than sitting at a desk, reading a book and regurgitating system?\n\n\nMentions and Resources\n\nCapitalism and Freedom - Milton Friedman\n\nThe Road to Serfdom - F.A.
