There is a missing layer of education in schools on topics like financial literacy, African-American history, college readiness, and compassion, which leads to growing inequality, says Tom Davidson. He and his team are working hard to see that gap filled. Davidson started out as a state legislator, but now runs EVERFI, a leading education technology company that drives social change through education. In this episode, he joins host Shiv Gaglani to discuss EVERFI’s progress and goals, including their recent announcement of a $100 million commitment to building and expanding their K-12 courses. Tune in to discover the secret to EVERFI's growth, the fundamental decision Davidson believes Americans need to make with regard to the Internet, the similarities between being an elected official and running a business, the impact of COVID on policy issues, and why Davidson believes the education system desperately needs innovation and private sector players.
