150: Brandon Hakim | Giving You The Education You'll Never Get In School

Brandon Hakim, Founder of InsiderSchool.com, is On A Quest To Give You The Education You'll Never Get In School. When he was in college, he went into the dean’s office and said “I feel like we’re getting an outdated education.” She said...they're working on it. He walked out that day, and swore he’d teach himself the things he should have learned in school. He’s since read over 1,000 books, and realized that everyone who’s excelled in any area of life knew things were never taught in school. They were Insiders. He’s now helped over 500,000 people through his online courses read more books, learn better — and download the wisdom from thousands of pages of books in their brains through short, actionable videos. In this episode, Brandon gets into how there's no such thing as succeeding by yourself. We also get into how self and standard education share a common flaw, and why you need to plan before it happens.
