Sat down with my man Ryan Delk yesterday. He’s tackling one of our countries biggest opportunities - educating our children through empowering the best teachers in the country to seamlessly start micro schools. “We take kids seriously.”

Wonderful to find Primer on the cover of the Miami New Times this morning.

Every afternoon at Primer is magic. Students dive deep into their interests through projects. Like starting businesses, writing plays, or learning to code. They’re solving real-world problems before they reach 4th grade.

Ryan Delk is building something special with Primer. The episode is worth the listen. Proud cousin

To teach kids about financial literacy, we gave every student a bank account. They earned weekly pay. Then, they were given the choice between spending and saving their earnings on real goods. When you take kids seriously, amazing things happen.

In two weeks, I'll be launching a new effort that is the culmination of everything I've learned in my career. It builds on the opportunities I've had to work with and learn from amazing mentors and leaders. And it will make a big difference in the lives of people involved.

Never underestimate kids. In the right environment: • They go from not being able to read in 3rd grade to being in the 99th percentile for growth 12 weeks later. • They go from hating math to loving it. • They go from only learning during school hours to spending their free

Their 65th wedding anniversary…

My grandparents made decisions that altered the trajectory of the Delk family legacy forever (for the better) and today is their 65th wedding anniversary. Even better, they drove their new Tesla to church in small town SC on FSD.

Today is my Grandparent’s 65th wedding anniversary. 65 years, 3 children, 9 grandchildren, 9 (soon to be 11) great-grandchildren. Like they do every Sunday, they arrived early to teach Sunday School at the small church my Grandfather grew up in. So thankful.

True.

All the pieces are (finally) in place to rebuild the US K-12 education system. The work is hard, the odds are against us, but there is no higher calling. Please consider joining us! We're hiring across eng, design, product, growth, gov relations & admissions. [email protected]

To fix energy, build nuclear reactors & batteries. To fix air travel, build fast planes. To fix housing, build houses. And to fix K-12 education, build schools. That's what Ryan Delk is doing at Primer.

Primer is at an inflection point. It's finally possible to take a real swing at rebuilding our K-12 education system. If you are insanely ambitious and want to do the best work of your life, we are operationally constrained on every team and need your help. DM or [email protected]
