035: Matt Beaudreau - Reshaping Financial Education & Preparing Kids to Succeed at Life

Today, I’m speaking with education disrupter, Matt Beaudreau. In 2016, Matt launched Acton Academy Placer – an alternative to the traditional education model that’s reshaping how kids learn. It’s not a school, it’s a workforce. After working his way from public school teacher to private school administrator, Matt got an up-close-and-personal view of the education system. He saw an opportunity to revamp education to prepare students to succeed at life — not just at standardized tests — and Acton Academy was born. Kids learn hands-on through trial and error, self-awareness, self-confidence, perseverance, and the things they're actually passionate about. More recently, Matt Co-Founded Apogee Strong – a specialized mentorship program designed specifically to shape young men into better providers and protectors.  3 of the biggest insights from Matt Beaudreau… Why the current education system fails to prepare many students for the real challenges of life — and how to reshape education to make key lessons stick. The most powerful thing parents can do to prepare their children for financial literacy and sensitive real-world topics like religion and politics. Ways to get your kids interested and engaged in learning about personal and family financial matters.JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWTo become a DBDL Insider and get VIP access to free resources and exclusive content, text "DBDL" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.
