Andrew Gumbel

Kathryn interviews Journalist Andrew Gumbel, author of "Won't Lose This Dream: How an Upstart Urban University Rewrote the Rules of a Broken System." He tells the extraordinary story of how Georgia State University tore up the rulebook on education helping realize lifelong dreams of graduating from college. For more than twenty years Gumbel worked as a foreign correspondent for Reuters, The Guardian and The Independent. Kathryn also interviews Professor of Business Administration at Darden School of Business Ed Hess LLM, author of "Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change." He argues that with the advancement of technology, the need for humans to excel at adaptation will not go away when COVID-19 is contained. Workers will be forced to become "hyper-learners" (a person who excels at learning, unlearning and relearning at the pace of change). Hess has been featured in Forbes, the Financial Times, Wired, The Washington Post and more.
