A blast from the past with a replay of the most popular episode of the quarter.

Join in for a conversation with Nadeem Nathoo, Co-Founder and Executive Director at TKS (The Knowledge Society). The Knowledge Society is an education company that works with 13-17 year-olds to mine human potential to make unicorn people. From cold-emailing his way into an internship with, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunnus' Grameen Bank at 19, to being part of the first cohort of the Next 36, travelling throughout Africa at a young age, entrepreneurship and social impact was a major part of Nadeem's growth. After working as a consultant at McKinsey, Nadeem plunged into the world of entrepreneurship by joining up with his brother in San Francisco. It would be a hypothetical question of what they would do with $10 billion that propelled the creation of TKS back in their hometown, Calgary. Nadeem and his brother created a company that combined their love for learning and exponential technology and it's a journey I've had a lot of fun learning about.

What is Accounted For?

Everyone walks a unique career journey. No matter how "linear" it may look in their LinkedIn profile, it is never that simple. Most people that have careers you aspire to have had to struggle. They had their own obstacles and made their own luck. Some careers you dream about may not even be what you assumed it would be. All assumptions should be tested and that is what I seek to do in this podcast. Follow along as I interview people on what they actually do in their careers and why they made the jumps in their careers, some quite unorthodox.
