The Netflix of Education and Personal Development with Alex Mehr
Alex Mehr
Episode 98
Question for you…are you a Netflix fan?
What if we told you the Netflix model is being used towards education and personal development.
Our amazing guest on episode 98 is CEO of Mentor Box, Alex Mehr.
What’s cool is Alex and Mentor Box are using the Netflix model, but instead of receiving access to tons of movies, shows, and documentaries for education, they are giving you access to videos and workshops taught by top authors, speakers, CEO’s, investors, and more.
The education that’s being taught each month in Mentor Box is not being taught in our current school systems and the tools and skills you will learn from them are amazing, practical, and more suitable for the real world.
We also, dive deep into Alex’s story, how he came from nothing, then went on to get his PhD in engineering and worked for NASA, and then went on to sell one of the second largest dating sites, Zoosk, for millions of dollars.
