Only College for Digital Nomads & Entrepreneurs - The MYX
Today on the podcast I am joined by Abby Brody, the founder of The Myx a higher education alternative to the regular 4 year college that combines online and experiential learning to create transformative experiences that shape confident, purposeful and life-ready graduates.
I first heard of Abby and The Myx from GaryVee who is one of their investors and after hearing about all of the cool things they are doing I had to have Abby on the podcast because the Myx could very well be the university of choice for aspiring digital nomads and entrepreneurs.
You will learn 3 really important things from this conversation:
1. Why the current "study for 4 years and you're good to go" education model does not work for the job market and economy of the future.
2. What data tells us about studying abroad and why it might be one of the most important things you do as a college student and how The Myx makes travel a core part of their education model
3. and finally how The Myx tailors it's curriculum and teaching styles to help their students become more entrepreneurial
I also want to thank Abby for providing you guys, the listeners of this show, with an incredible offer. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a student at The Myx then make sure you mention That Remote Life Podcast in your application because you will receive $500 off your tuition.
I am so incredibly thankful to Abby for that offer, they really are building something amazing over there at The Myx and while I know that many of you guys are not college age and are probably past higher education, perhaps you know someone in your life who is in high school and deciding what to do next, if so make sure you share this episode with them because at the very least it's always good to know what other alternatives are out there so they can make the best decision possible for them.
