Summary

We tried something a little different this week—instead of reading a novel
or play, Andrew read Kio Stark's crowdfunded handbook Don't Go Back to
School. Stark interviews artists, writers, and entrepreneurs of various
stripes who all have one thing in common: they've found success despite not
having the credentials conferred by traditional educational institutions.
What followed was a discussion not just of the book, but of our own
personal experiences building careers without graduate degrees. This is a
fascinating topic, and if you have any of your own stories to share we'd
love to include them in future shows.
