US vs Australian Student Mentality, Being ‘Perfect’ & Taking Control In Your Learning ft. Dr Justin Sung & Michael Tsai from iCanStudy (Part 1) | Ep. 42

We’re back again with Dr. Justin Sung & Michael Tsai, Co-Founders of iCanStudy for another two-part series to dive more into their insights and learnings within the education space.

In Part 1, we’re discussing the difference between US vs Australian students, certain limitations within the education system and how current learning curriculums lag in the modern world.

We also get a little more personal with Justin and Michael as we talk about their learnings with the ‘fear of failure’ and the perception of being perfect.
