The Greatest Education Podcast

Zack Kauffman

I grew up in the American Education System. I experienced both public and private schooling before going to college as an education major. After years of teaching, the same problems within the education system continue to pop up over and over again. After being on both ends as both a student and a teacher, it has become clear that the current system has countless inefficiencies and leaves a lot to be desired. So, I decided to explore, where DO people experience their greatest education? Both within myself and the guests that are featured on the show, we will be exploring the most valuable lessons learned and how to truly maximize your own education experience throughout your life. Enjoy!!!

The Greatest Education: Flipping for Profit

The Greatest Education Podcast

12/12/19 • 23 min

The greatest foundation for learning sales, marketing, and business principles were the items I sold growing up. From spitball guns to sports cards to gum and eventually sneakers, textbooks, and golf clubs: I learned far more from selling those items than any financial lessons through school.

When you achieve a goal... and don't get the results you expected

The Greatest Education Podcast

11/04/19 • 24 min

In 2018 I achieved one of my biggest goals for the year. But it wasn't the result I expected.

This week has been an adventure getting the podcast out. I start out by calling an audible. I had previously recorded a podcast, but it didn't feel genuine to the goal of this podcast. I deleted it and this episode is the re-up.

Topics in this episode:

My big goal for 2018 and the WHY behind it.

How I achieved the goal, but the end result wasn't what I expected and hoped for.

How the experience changed my perspective and how I've adjusted this year.

How you can apply this to reaching your own goals.

Challenge of the week!

Beating The System

The Greatest Education Podcast

12/02/18 • 8 min

Growing up, I bought, sold, and traded sports cards with my friends and eventually through eBay as well.

Years later, in high school, I used the insights I gained from my elementary sports cards hustle to completely make up an interview assignment for my Economics class...

This is what I learned from the teacher's response and why it still stands out to me over a decade later.
