We had a great opening discussion, including TK’s recap of a conversation with his Uber driver about the best way for Black Americans to get ahead.  Hint: not by trying the same old methods of chasing the same of definitions of success.

Last Week’s TV Appearances

I was asked on Fox & Friends, and then After the Bell the next day.  They never told me the exact topic, and I wasn’t really prepared for the political framing in both cases, but I tried to bring it to what I care most about!

So Hot I Can Hardly Stand It!

Full Ride Praxis Scholarship for Homeschoolers!

We offered one last year and it was awesome, so we’re trying one more.  Homeschoolers are such amazing Praxis participants that we want to award one top applicant a full ride to the program.  The program is net-zero cost as it is – $11k tuition is more than earned back in the apprenticeship – but the scholarship award winner will walk away with a porfolio of skills and projects, 6 months startup experience, over $14k in earnings, and a 96% chance of a full-time job offer after one year.

As Key & Peele’s substitute teacher said: We. Do. Not. Play.

Send around to all the homeschoolers you know!

I’ll Be Back on Fox & Friends Wednesday, July 18 Live in the DC Studio.  Time TBD.

Tune in, or just watch the clip later on YoutTube or Facebook.  Not sure details yet, but they asked me in studio since I’ll be in DC giving a talk that day anyway.  Should be fun.  Only question is which color Praxis T-shirt to wear…
