Rajarshi Chakraborty on Challenging the Known and Embracing the Unknown

My guest this week, Rajarshi Chakraborty, is a recent graduate with a very interesting background – as a student, he founded the Erasmus Tech Community, and since then has spearheaded a number of innovation projects within the Erasmus University Rotterdam. Our conversation is about the intersection of technology and education. We discuss the attitude and skills that you need to acquire to stay relevant in the coming decades. We also discuss Raj’s opinion on the educational ecosystem and the importance of lifelong learning. I would list more of the topics, but we covered so much that you should just listen. Finally, I will say that Raj is a dear friend of mine that I appreciate and admire very much – he is full of energy and ideas and is always curious and eager to learn. If you know more people like this, reach out and suggest them for this podcast. Now enjoy our conversation.
