EP 1: Building a One-Stop Shop for Lifelong Learning with Ray Batra
This week I sat down with Ray Batra of Shift_Up Learning Gym to talk about what he’s learned from 10 years in Edtech, and his vision for the college of the future. I really enjoyed this interview with Ray, whose breadth of experience in education is unparalleled and has given him a unique perspective on the space.
