This is Impact 3X, home of the impact society. Start-ups that reach 1Bn$ valuations are a very rare phenomenon. That's why people call them unicorns. And because everybody wants to run a company that reaches a sky-high valuation or massive profits, there are many publications that focus on helping you get there. Well… we are not one of those. At 3X, we believe that what's truly unique are organizations that focus on optimizing, not one but, three dimensions in parallel: planet, people and profits. Three times the impact of regular unicorns. Something even rarer. And, what’s the only horse-like beast that’s more unique than a unicorn? The Pegasus. Son to the God of the sea, and known as an immortal horse who’s got wings and helped the Greek gods achieve nearly impossible feats. It felt like the perfect inspiration to our vision. Impact 3X wants to enable you to achieve what was once thought to be undoable. To win and to care, or rather to win because you care. This publication is aimed at those who have the imagination and audacity to change the game. We are here to inform, connect and inspire some of our brightest citizens and business leaders so that they can scale companies and work on projects that benefit from solving society’s biggest problems.

What schools don’t teach: Roger Egan on Life Skills, Screens, and the Future of Education

In today’s episode, we talk with Roger Egan about his journey from building and selling RedMart to Alibaba, to his new venture Nurture, a company redefining early childhood learning

We deep dive into the Life Preparedness Gap, the disconnect between traditional education and the real-world skills kids need to thrive, and how Nurture is using Immersive Learning Media to bridge that gap.

We also explore the challenges and opportunities of modern parenting, from choosing the right school to managing screen time, and how we can rethink education to better prepare our children for an uncertain future.
