“I think one of the biggest problems with education is that it’s no longer about learning. And what we mean by that is education is very top-down driven where learning is very bottom-up. Education is kind of what someone tells you to do whereas learning is…what you want to learn and what you’re passionate about, what you’re curious about. And for us, you know, our goal and our mission is just reunite learning back with education.”–Michael Karnjanaprakorn

Watch this great 3 and a half minute profile of Michael Karnjanaprakorn, founder of Skillshare and TED Fellow (you can skip the shameless 2 minute Lexus advertisement at the end designed to mimic the interview style of the profile): 

“If we have one, ten, a hundred million people learning every single day, think about all the things, and all the knowledge and skills that are getting passed from one person to the other, and think about all the things they’re going to create in the world, and think about all the people that are going to find their true passion.”
