  • Episode 97 - Turn Uncertainty Into Clarity
    May 8 2025

    Corey is chatting with Daniel Gray from Uplift Education about helping students find their path. Gray shares how Uplift's Texas charter schools are flipping the script on traditional education by connecting 23,000+ students with real-world experiences. Their standout healthcare high school partnership with Baylor Scott & White has kids wearing scrubs, working in simulation labs, and getting hands-on with professionals. The conversation digs into why those "what am I doing with my life?" moments in high school and college are so tough, and how giving students earlier career exposure makes learning more fun and futures more clear. It's all about turning those question marks into confidence!
