The panel for our sixth episode includes Martin Harvey-Olson, Gavin Sharkey, Dustin Lampropulos, Delilah Rivera, and Neil Karkhanis.

The topic that they have chosen to discuss is Education.

This is, as always, such a HUGE topic. The panelists’ families, and the panelists themselves, come from diverse educational backgrounds, all have pretty strong opinions on the subject, and they have SO much to discuss.

If you are able to watch live, feel free to ask questions, and our panel will do their best to answer.
