Don Wettrick: CEO of the STARTedUP Foundation and why education should be about solving interesting problems and developing the leadership capacity to get it done.

Today it is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Don Wettrick. Before we start, I wanted to apologise to Don for the delay in getting this episode out into the world; we recorded it some time ago. He is an author, TEDx speaker, an educator and a podcaster.

Don is the founder and CEO of the STARTedUP Foundation, a nonprofit focused on encouraging students to view the world through the lens of entrepreneurship. He is well-versed in innovation, entrepreneurship, and the importance of arming students with the skills and the network to succeed. 

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife of 27 years, Alicia, and their three children.
