This week we are joined by Howie Chang of Forward School, which is equipping aspiring students and tech professionals with industry-ready skills required for the fast-moving tech sector.
This was a great conversation to discuss how Howie came to launch an education focused startup. We talk about building a curriculum and getting accreditation. We then move onto scaling the business.
I’d love to know what you took away from this conversation with Howie Chang. If you’d like to be considered as a guest or have someone that you’d like to hear me speak to, drop me a message.
