Description

In this episode, Dan Hersh speaks with Preston Smith, CEO of Rocketship Public Schools. Preston launched Rocketship in 2006 to provide learning opportunities to students who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to receive a great education. In the past 15 years, Rocketship Public Schools has grown significantly. An organization that was once housed in a single church building, Rocketship now has over 10,000 students across multiple states.



During their conversation, Preston shares with Dan his thoughts on:



  • The current K-12 landscape in the United States

  • How innovation, leadership, and technology affects education

  • An entrepreneurs mindset: building a legacy and doing your "life's work"

  • How to evolve and pivot your business to address customer (student) needs, impact the community, and grow to achieve goals at scale
