From Wall Street to EdTech: Why Grades Don't Measure Success | The Education Concierge Podcast
After 18 years at Citigroup, Nitin Gour discovered a critical gap: schools teach academics, but not the life skills needed for real-world success. In this episode of The Education Concierge Podcast Season 10: Legacy in Progress, host Benita G. sits down with the founder of Bloomster to discuss why self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience matter more than test scores.

How to prepare kids for an AI-dominated future

Why life skills need to be taught intentionally, not left to chance
Navigating AI in education while preserving critical thinking
