Description

What happens when you don't grade students academically? But bring them out to the real world to learn from industry professionals to gain real skills that are needed in society? ✨
How amazing would that be if we had that as students? Natalie Chan is doing exactly that to revolutionize education for high school students worldwide with her company, OWN Academy. 

The educator and entrepreneur talks to Beyond the Label about her goals to reform how students learn, her experiences in education and traditional upbringing that inspired the concept, and how she sets up a company that is truly location-independent and remote work.

Tune in to Beyond the Label podcast episodes weekly to be inspired by speakers who broke stereotypes and pursued an unconventional path!
