What if the status quo isn’t just limiting our potential—it’s actively wasting it? In a world on the brink, the choices young people make at the start of their careers have never been more critical. Yet according to the Deloitte Global 2024 Gen Z and Millennial Survey, the LOWEST-ranked considerations for young people when choosing their current employer are: 1) its values 2) its positive impact on society, and 3) opportunities to address social problems. Excuse my language, but WTF?! If our rising leaders aren’t prioritizing purpose, how can we expect the future to look any different from the present? We need to address this gap before another generation’s idealism is lost to the status quo. Wendy Kopp ’s recent article shines a light on what needs to happen: 💡 Norms must evolve to guide early job choices toward social impact. The time to orient young people toward purpose isn’t at midlife—it’s right at the start. 💡 Institutions can't be neutral. Universities should champion the connection between education and meaningful work, not merely act as career funnels. 💡 We need to ensure that impactful careers are both fulfilling and well-compensated, making them viable and attractive options for everyone, not just those with economic safety nets. This is exactly why we're building The Flight School : to help the rising generation align their compass with a higher purpose—starting now, not later. Young people’s idealism is one of our most precious global resources. Let’s stop wasting it. #TakingFlight #Leadership #EducationOnPurpose #LearningOnPurpose #Empathy #SocialImpact Teach For All Diplomatic Courier

✨ From the moment I met Michaela Horvathova , I knew we were kindred spirits. Michaela doesn’t just dream about the future of education—she’s building it. Her work at BE Beyond Education isn’t about incremental change; it’s about a complete reimagining of what school can (and must) become in the 21st century. Beyond Education has developed the world’s first scientifically validated measure of "soft skills"—though let's be honest, these are the real power skills, are they not?! While traditional assessments still focus on measuring KNOWLEDGE (what we know)— something AI can already outcompete us on -- BE’s approach expands the lens to measure the learning that matters more: ☑ META-LEARNING: How we reflect and adapt ☑ SKILLS: How we apply what we know ☑ CHARACTER: How we engage with the world This couldn’t be more aligned with what we’re doing at The Flight School to ensure our next gen leaders are equipped for the future. Today, our team is thrilled to announce our partnership with Beyond Education. Together, we’re not just talking about the future of learning—we’re creating it. ✨ #LearningOnPurpose #PowerSkills #TakingFlight #FutureofEducation

Lessons from the King of Flight A few weeks ago, I received a wild invitation: Richard Branson invited me to a gathering of changemakers to explore how Virgin Unite , the foundation he co-founded with the incomparable Jean Oelwang , could amplify its impact. Despite the serious logistical gymnastics required (😜) my answer was immediate & obvious 😉 The days were magical ✨ and my time with Richard offered lessons that resonate deeply with what we’re building at The Flight School . 🌍 Leadership matters. When Gen Z is asked about leaders they admire, the silence is disconcerting. Years ago, Richard and Jean convened The Elders—a council of global leaders, including Nelson Mandela, Mary Robinson, Desmond Tutu, and others, to serve as a conscience for the planet. How can we connect today’s moral leaders with the rising generation? 💛 Happiness is an inside job. Richard is one of the most contagiously joyful people I’ve met—and it’s not because he’s a billionaire. He’s learned that purpose, not profit, gives life meaning. At 74, he’s in stunning shape and chooses to do what bring him joy—whether he’s caring for flamingos 🦩 or teaching people to swim. His life is a testament to alignment: How do we ensure our words and actions align with our purpose? ⛰ Risk-taking is a muscle. Richard’s motto, “Screw it, let’s do it,” is more than a saying; it’s a life philosophy. His memoir's appendix, “79 Ways I’ve Almost Died,” shows that risk-taking is a muscle he’s built over time. What if we taught young people to embrace risk rather than avoid it? ⚖ People are people, no matter their status. I was admittedly intimidated on arrival—it’s easy to feel small among those with more money, power, or fame. But Richard’s humility shines through and puts others at ease. Whether driving a taxi in disguise or treating his staff like family, he reminded me that our character is revealed in how we treat those with less power. What if humility and humanness grew with status? 🚀 Our differences are our superpowers. Dyslexic and labeled “dumb” by his teachers, Richard dropped out of school at 15 to start his first business. Now, he’s convinced LinkedIn to create a “dyslexic thinking” badge, recognizing different ways of seeing and learning can be superpowers. What other superpowers should schools and employers start acknowledging? Richard has generously offered to be an ally to The Flight School and we’re over the moon to bring him into our orbit 👏👏👏 He embodies everything we’re committed to building in our next-gen leaders: 🌟Comfort with ambiguity 🌟Confidence to chart one's own course 🌟Courage to take risks, fail, and rebound 🌟Commitment to a purpose beyond oneself Here's to saying YES to invitations – and building the plane while flying 😎 The sky's the limit, and we’re just getting started! 🎈 ✈️ #ThisIsLeadership #LearningOnPurpose #TakingFlight #DyslexicThinking #Courage #Innovation

My mind tries every possible strategy to talk me out of it. But over the years, I’ve learned to let the wiser voice win. 🌱 Each year, I spend a week truly offline—no screens, no speaking—at a silent Vipassana retreat. Imagine a hundred strangers gathered with one shared goal: to bring our mind and body into the same place. Together, we hand over our delightful (and devilish) devices 📱 and commit to simple but profound precepts: no talking, no clouding our minds, no harm. The first few days? My monkey mind 🐒 is in overdrive, replaying its tired reruns. But without the usual distractions—pings, people, problems to solve—there’s nowhere to go. As my dear friend (whom I’ve never met 😉 ) Pema Chodron says, it’s "the wisdom of no escape." And then, something shifts. I find a rhythm in the silence: sitting, walking, sitting, walking, eating, sleeping—repeat. Within this field of solitude and stillness, I remember things I know but often forget: ✨ I can’t stop my thoughts, but I don’t have to believe them. ✨ Attention is a muscle; mindfulness is its personal trainer. ✨ Reality is jucier than any distraction. ✨ We take ourselves wherever we go. These retreats are the most powerful teachers I know—humbling, clarifying, challenging, and rewarding. That’s why mindfulness retreats are now core curriculum at The Flight School . Imagine if every 18-year-old on the planet learned the power of retreat and renewal! 🌍 We’re creating a format that’s globally accessible, supportive, and scalable. And as we do, I’d love to hear from you: What forms of retreat have helped you reconnect with yourself?

Can we train our minds to hurt us less? For years, I've been writing letters to my future self, not fully understanding what I was doing or why 😜 What I did know was that the letters were always uncannily kind and clear. And, unlike what happens when I write for an audience (like this one!) they flow effortlessly, like a seamless exhale. Recently Elizabeth Gilbert helped me name the magic of what was happening: I've been writing letters from Love. 💌 Watching liz popularize this practice with her magical Substack community has been deeply inspiring. She invites us all to become channels for Love in a space that might just be the most beautiful corner of the internet. ✨ Here's what I've discovered through this practice: 🔔 Tapping Deeper Wisdom: When I pause and truly listen, I become a vessel for something beyond my intellect—deeper, truer, and wiser. 💛 Cultivating Self-Compassion: It's a profound exercise in silencing the self-sensoring inner critic and turning up the volume on the kinder voices (they're in there too!) ✅ Building Accountability: These letters help hold me accountable to the one who matters: myself. Intrigued? Check it out and give it a try! #LettersFromLove #LeadingOutLoud #LearningOnPurpose

When we launched The Flight School in April, we knew we were onto something....but the response has exceeded our wildest expectations. The past few months have been a whirlwind of inspiration and progress: 🌍 Recruited a class of Founding Fellows -- trailblazers (from 16 countries!) who begin their Launch Year with us next month. 📣 Media features on Slate 's podcast, and in conversation w/ Seth Godin 🌔 🌟 Added some truly extraordinary humans to our Reimagined Faculty: Sanjay Purohit , Eddie Ndopu , Ashanti Branch , Musimbi Kanyoro and Angel B. Pérez Link to our (inaugural) summer Newsletter in the comments. Who else should be in our orbit? Tag them below! Onward and upward 🚀 #TakingFlight #EducationOnPurpose #LeadingOutLoud
