Listen "Education Founders! - Chris B and Michael O talk all things Education!"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I sit down with Chris and Michael, co-founders of Talent Lab, to talk about something that goes way beyond tech — community. We dig into their journeys in education, what it means to support underestimated youth, and how real growth starts with trust, feedback, and connection.We also get honest about some of the buzzwords floating around the edtech space, how they can distract from what actually matters, and why durable skills — like communication, resilience, and adaptability — are the ones that truly shape a student’s future.This conversation reminded me that education is leadership, and leadership is about people. Whether you’re an educator, coach, or someone who just wants to make an impact, there’s so much here about staying grounded in your why and building environments where people feel seen, heard, and supported.💡 Key Takeaways:Education is about building community and belonging.Underestimated youth often display incredible resilience.Feedback should be continuous, honest, and constructive.Investing in community resources lightens the load on schools.Buzzwords can’t replace authentic connection or impact.Teachers deserve fair pay and professional respect.A culture of coachability is essential for growth.Durable skills outlast any single job or tool.Non-linear career paths lead to purpose and fulfillment.Knowing your why keeps you aligned and grounded.Check out their work: https://www.linkedin.com/company/talentlabsolutions
