Education today has a totally different paradigm: It is no longer confined to a classroom or a desk. It is no longer kept in the domain of the youth. Education can, and should be, utilized by everyone regardless of age. As education pushes past the boundaries where it has previously been constrained, it is changing what’s possible. In this podcast, I interview Josh Joseph, Senior Vice President of Yeshiva University, one of the best private colleges in the United States.
Josh shares his insights on the future of education and its implication for each of us. We speak about the importance of pursuing your passions, honing your skills, and making your talents marketable. As an educator, Josh explains why each of us should “find our element,” and how a commitment to core values will enable us to achieve personal greatness.

Entrepreneurs are constantly reaching out to understand how to leverage Alan’s financial systems’ knowledge so they can take their company to the next level. If you need to get your “financial house” in order, you don’t want to miss this show.

“It’s about the journey, not the destination” is an adage fit for Scot Cohen.
