The EdTech Startup Show


Feb 18, 2020

Typically on the podcast, I interview one EdTech entrepreneur, often a founder or CEO or an accomplished professional in the industry. Today's episode is a little different. After doing the show for a year, I've started to notice some trends in the stories and insights that founders share.

So today is the first example of me reporting on one of those trends, and it comes in the form of sharing three excerpts of past episodes. I'm going to share with you a clip from my conversation with Michelle Brown, the founder of CommonLit. A clip from my conversation with Brett Kopf, who along with his brother created Remind and also a clip from my conversation with Brad Schiller, who is the CEO of Prompt

In each of these clips, you'll hear the three entrepreneurs discuss what I'm calling their Superhero Origin Stories. We all know how before superheroes get their powers or when they discover their powers, they go through some kind of formative story. And I've noticed that for many EdTech founders, something similar happens.

I hope you enjoy this new format for this podcast, and please give me your feedback about whether you like it or not. You can do that on Twitter @GerardDawson3 or you can connect and message me on LinkedIn, and I'm Gerard Dawson there.

Also, if you liked the episode, please give the podcast a rating. Leave a review on iTunes, and be sure to share it with the entrepreneur or educator in your life.

Thanks for listening,

Gerard Dawson
