Episode 1 – Women CEOs and Education

Let’s jump right in!

Laicy found an all-woman band from the ’60s (Ace of Cups) to start us off on the right foot and followed it up with a discussion about how the world would be different if all CEOs were women.  Laicy doesn’t fuck around.

Then we discuss education.  Education is a HUGE topic, so we’re just scratching the surface at this point.  Jeff shares some of his thoughts about how the education system could be different and we lament the legal frameworks that ultimately restrict the options available to educate the youth of today.

You know, light topics

Here are some links regarding the education system:

Note – each of the links below describes problems with our education system, but they don’t all agree on the problems.  There is no shortage of problems with our education system, but one problem we do not agree with is that there is not enough business influence in education.  There is plenty of business influence on education – that is the original driving force behind education.  Do not buy into the story line that we need more business influence on education.
