Episode Notes

What does it take to truly break free from a system that isn’t working? In this episode, we talk to Robby Cobbs and Kyle Sumrow, the US-based co-founders of Tech My School, who are leading a rebellion against the educational status quo.

After decades of teaching in elite schools across the globe, they were so shocked by the state of the education system in Puerto Rico that they took radical action. Robby used his life savings—his "boat money"—to launch a nonprofit dedicated to bringing 21st-century learning to underserved students. Together, they are not just donating technology; they are building a new ecosystem for learning, complete with teacher training and their own AI-powered strategic planning tool, Tech Plan Genie.

This is a powerful story of social entrepreneurship, purpose-driven innovation, and what happens when you refuse to accept the way things are. For the full visual experience, including a look at the schools they’re impacting and the technology they’ve built, watch the complete interview on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/QhENgTs15LE
