In today’s episode, we talk with Roger Egan about his journey from building and selling RedMart to Alibaba, to his new venture Nurture, a company redefining early childhood learning

We deep dive into the Life Preparedness Gap, the disconnect between traditional education and the real-world skills kids need to thrive, and how Nurture is using Immersive Learning Media to bridge that gap.

We also explore the challenges and opportunities of modern parenting, from choosing the right school to managing screen time, and how we can rethink education to better prepare our children for an uncertain future.
