Interview with Sharon Hunneybell
Teaching Entrepreneurship to Children, Juggling 3 Major Roles, and when Public Speaking Goes Wrong with Sharon Hunneybell.
We have many conversations about the failings of the formal education system on this podcast. Sharon Hunneybell is someone who did something about this.
Startup Apprentice was created to introduce entrepreneurial concepts to children in school to help them think differently.
On this episode we talk about some of the difficulties Sharon saw kids having and how providing them with an entrepreneurial outlet led to some life changing discoveries.
Sharon shares some of her own stories around the familiar imposter syndrome, and her evolving self esteem over her career.
We even hear a story about how Sharon went blank on stage, and the world didn’t fall in 😉
