Cast of All Trades

Education EN ↓ 56 episodes

Skills development, exploring ideas, & following curiosity through expert interviews and solo deep dives. My name is Orion Siebert, and I'm passionate about education. Not education as in schooling and academia, but education as in learning with a purpose and a desire. I believe that 99% of people would be better off as generalists than specialists, someone who builds a unique and personalized skill stack for their goals and needs. I interview field experts to get the shortcuts to "good enough" and make solo episodes on skills, frameworks, and questions. Don't wait! Listen and subscribe!
