John Katzman (@johnkatzman), CEO of Noodle, joins Erik on this episode to discuss:

- John’s theory that tech has had less of an impact on education than people thought it would because it’s been grafted on rather than causing a rethinking of how education is delivered.

- Why the “fundamentalist capitalists” were wrong about markets solving the problems with education.

- His thoughts on income share agreements.

- Why any degree should always involve active learning throughout a person’s life.

- The fact that he thinks post-COVID no less than 50% of the grad school experience will remain online and will progress towards being completely virtual.

- His requests for innovation in the space.
