If you’ve ever experienced frustration in the face of the U.S. higher education system and mounting student debt, you’re not alone. In episode 631 of This Week in Startups, filmed at LAUNCH Festival 2016, Jason guides a fireside chat with Sebastian Thrun, CEO and co-founder of Udacity, and George Zachary, general partner at CRV and heavy investor in Udacity. They discuss the broken system for higher education, MOOCs, and how Udacity continues to help workers adjust and succeed in a rapidly shifting job market. Then, at the LAUNCH Angel Summit, Jonathon Triest from Ludlow Ventures provides inspiration and examples on how authenticity is crucial to success.
