What is the future of education?

With the rise of the digital age, learning has never been more accessible. As there are many
resources to learn over the internet, the digital space has also influenced us greatly.

Social media has become a very powerful tool to gain popularity and power. Whether you’re posting for fun, transacting a business, or relaxing, we love social media. We post, enjoy creating content, and jump for joy every time we get a follower notification. It’s a job that never really felt like a job.

As we scroll through our feeds, we see our favourite influencers grow in fame and fortune, doing
the things they love.

So, what is an influencer, and how can I be one?

In this episode, know how to make your influencer passion into your job, learn more about a
new change in the education system, and how “The Influencer Academy” will transform the
future of education. If you want to know-how, make sure to listen all the way through!

Let's get to it!
