Entrepreneurship, Risk & Soft Skills with Roy Rubin '93 Learned
-
- Education
What skills will students need to be prepared for an increasingly complex future? As technology continues to shape our society and our structures of communication, how should education respond? And can places of privilege foster equity and inclusivity within and beyond their communities? My name is Tristan Friedberg Rodman. This is Learned.
On Learned, we’re looking beyond test scores and college acceptance rates to understand how education can shape the future of our society — and what kind of teaching we need to bring us there.
Our guest today is Roy Rubin. Roy graduated from Oakwood in 1993 before enlisting with the Israeli Defense Force, pausing a business degree at UCLA to pursue web development, and founding Magento, an e-commerce company that was purchased by eBay in 2011. Ivan, Christie, and I drove out to Roy's home in Agoura Hills, where we spoke about risk taking, dual identities and immigration, and how to teach soft-skills for adaptability.
