On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy and Arooba are joined by VP of Sales and Marketing, Soren Schwab. Born and raised in Germany, and then moving to the United States to attend Hillsdale, Soren discusses the radical difference between the education system in both countries. He explains the transactional nature of schooling he received in Germany, and how shocked he was to discover that Hillsdale offered a completely different experience. He discusses the importance of being taught by professors who genuinely enjoy the work they do, and who keep their own politics out of the classroom. He shares his own journey from being a teacher at Vanguard to becoming an employee at CLT, and why he was willing to take that risk.
