87: Hacking the College-Corporate Matrix with Isaac Morehouse

Isaac Morehouse is someone I first met over a decade ago, and who I’ve loved following ever since. He is an entrepreneur who has been involved in multiple start-ups, he’s run a taxpayer advocacy group, and he’s the author of numerous books. He is the founder of Praxis, Crash, and Career Hackers, and the co-founder of PartnerHacker—all focused on helping young adults find their true purpose and avoid the dull, soul-sucking treadmill of higher education and corporate America that is the default option for many of us. You might have seen Isaac on TV talking about the death of college, the value of apprenticeships, and how to make yourself marketable to employers. He's inspiring, passionate, energized, and one of my favorite people to talk with.
