Disrupting Education with Matt Beaudreau
A New Chime In Episode
Hello Beauty,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
On this episode of Chime In, I sit down with Matt Beaudreau, founder of Apogee Strong, a groundbreaking mentorship program that's now opening schools across the United States. We dive deep into the heart of his program and discuss the vital role of curiosity and failure in the learning process.
Matt shares his insights on the challenges of traditional schooling, the evolution of higher education, and how entrepreneurship principles can empower young individuals to thrive in life. He stresses the need for a paradigm shift in education—one that nurtures resilience, self-awareness, and a passion for lifelong learning.
Matt also explains how Apogee Strong was created to mentor young men by connecting them with positive role models. He stresses the importance of having a roadmap for success, embracing discomfort as a tool for growth, and ensuring that education aligns with family values. We discuss how mentorship, shared experiences, and intentional education can shape a new generation of leaders.
Our family personally experienced the transformative impact of Apogee Strong when we enrolled our son, Charlie, in the program during his 6th-grade year while we were homeschooling him. Matt was an incredible mentor to Charlie, guiding him alongside other male leaders. Each week a new leader shared his lived experiences, trials and tribulations, and the journeys that led him to become a successful entrepreneur. The lessons in resilience, leadership, and personal growth were invaluable and helped Charlie gain a deeper understanding of his own potential. We continue to see the benefits of this program pay off in spades as Charlie courageously steps outside of his comfort zone and takes on leadership roles in his community.
As we reflect on the significance of making meaningful imprints in others’ lives, Matt encourages us to focus on service and personal development, rather than chasing distractions.
If you’re passionate about transforming education and empowering the next generation, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will challenge the way you think about education.
We hope you enjoy our conversation.
With ❤️ and gratitude,
Amanda
