Description

On today’s episode, Chris sits down with David Rogier, founder and CEO of MasterClass, to explore how a personal family story sparked a global movement in education. Inspired by his grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, David set out to make world-class expertise accessible to everyone. From tennis legend Serena Williams to acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese, MasterClass combines storytelling and cinematic production to transform how people learn.




David shares the journey of launching MasterClass in 2015, the platform’s impact on millions of learners worldwide, and its latest venture: a certificate program in partnership with the Navy SEAL Foundation.
