Ryan Carson on the Future of Education

Today’s guest on the podcast is Ryan Carson, founder and CEO of Treehouse. Treehouse is an affordable technology education alternative which has over 200+ courses and teaches over 180,000 students. Treehouse has also just released a new product called Talentpath that allows companies to scale their engineering teams, find new talent, and achieve their business goals. One of the original internet pioneers in the Web 2.0 days, Ryan is truly changing the way students approach education and the way companies are hiring, all with an aim of making the world a better place and helping as many people as he can. 

 

In my chat with Ryan, we were able to talk about a wide range of topics ranging from why he believes students should not go the traditional college or university route, the power of apprenticeship based programs, his work ethic and why he wakes up everyday at 4:30 am to get after it and much more. I do apologize as there was a brief moment in the interview where we got disconnected over Skype, but this interview is definitely a must listen, you will not regret it. So without further ado, I introduce to you, Ryan Carson.
