    EP15: "The Future of Learning" - Mallory Dwinal-Palisch

    THE GUEST Dr. Mallory Dwinal-Palisch is an educator, Rhodes Scholar, and trailblazing education entrepreneur redefining how America trains its workforce. She began her career as a classroom teacher before co-founding Oxford Day Academy, an experiential learning charter school in California. Inspired by the power of real-world learning, she went on to co-found Reach University—the first regionally accredited university in the U.S. to offer apprenticeship-based associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees, with a mission to train the next generation of teachers by awarding academic credit for on-the-job experience. Mallory also co-founded the venture-backed EdTech startup Kraft Education Systems, which was acquired by Western Governors University, where she now works to scale Reach’s groundbreaking model nationwide. Representing a new generation of education innovators, Mallory is reimagining the learn-to-earn journey through bold models that combine technology, equity, and workforce impact at scale.

    EP14: "Modern Apprenticeships" - Ryan Craig

    THE GUEST Ryan Craig is an investor, author, and education change agent. He's Managing Director at Achieve Partners, co-founder of Apprenticeships for America, and the sharp pen behind the bi-weekly Gap Letter. His trilogy of books—College Disrupted, A New U, and, most recently, Apprentice Nation—has made him the go-to voice for “earn-while-you-learn” pathways that out-perform ever more expensive degrees. I met Ryan at this year's ASU+GSV Summit, where he talked about scaling apprenticeships, whether college is still worth it, and how a new ecosystem is emerging to serve the gap between learning and earning. Ryan joins us today to explore how intermediaries can unlock millions of new “earn-while-you-learn” opportunities across all industries. THE SHOW Insights from Australia’s top education minds.

    EP10: "Do we have a sufficient imagination?" - Sherman Young

    THE GUEST Professor Sherman Young is Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) and Vice-President at RMIT University, where he steers the entire student journey from enrolment to graduation for more than 91K students. A multimedia entrepreneur, turned scholar and now higher education change agent, Sherman has spent the past two decades in universities, exploring how technology reshapes culture. Sherman is a sought-after voice on AI’s impact on universities, for example, delivering keynotes at Adobe’s EduMAX conference and the ATN National Symposium on GenAI Graduate Skills and Employability, where he challenged educators to embed AI fluency into every program. Last year, when many institutions were debating whether to ban AI or not, RMIT instead embraced it. Sherman's guiding belief is clear: “AI will be an integral part of our future life and work—so we must teach students to use it critically and responsibly”. From re-imagining assessment to championing open, industry-linked learning models, Sherman Young is proving that higher education can be as agile and inventive as the technologies transforming it.
