60. Reinventing the Future of Education at Prisma w/ David Waitzer

Update: 2025-09-20

Description

How do we build kids’ natural curiosity? How do we encourage ‘hard fun’?

Today we answer those questions, and celebrate our 60th episode with David Waitzer, a Founding coach for Prisma's East Asia & Oceania team! Prisma is a purely online school that’s revolutionising education as we know it, building a carefully curated curriculum that honours that education is not ‘one size fits all’.
