Meet Ted Dintersmith, the venture capitalist who traded in his Silicon Valley suit for a mission to revolutionize American education! This high-tech hotshot turned education crusader spent a year zipping through all 50 states, visiting hundreds of schools, and collecting stories like kids collect Pokemon cards. Think of him as the Indiana Jones of innovation in education, but instead of hunting for lost artifacts, he's discovering amazing teachers and students who are breaking the mold of traditional schooling. After making it big in the tech world, Ted decided to become education's biggest cheerleader, producing Most Likely to Succeed and writing What School Could Be - both dropping truth bombs about how we need to stop preparing kids for the 1950s and start getting them ready for their actual future. With boundless energy and a knack for making complex ideas crystal clear, Ted's been showing everyone from politicians to parents that when it comes to education, we need to think less like a factory and more like a startup!
