How to turn it around and start to thrive in education and life. Our podcast provides you with practical advice that is designed to work directly with you and what drives you. You see, when you're "bad at school" you may be bad at structuring and coordination your learning or have information overload, there may be personal and peer factors or maybe it's not for you! Being Bad at School doesn't mean you're incapable of learning or even that you "aren't very smart" it's simply the environment and what you are susceptible to as the ONLY way to do things that may be holding you back. The Bad At School podcast flips this on its head and brings over 10 years of proven performance and happiness hacks directly to you. Meaning you no longer need to be "Bad at School" and can focus more on succeeding in life.
