Xona Games: Are You Smarter Than A CEO? Interview

This is a pretty cool competition I was interviewed for: The Are You Smarter Than A CEO? competition. It's for Atlantic Canadian students and the challenge is to solve actual problems that real Atlantic Canadian companies have. I was thrilled to be a part of it. This is a form of education that works. If you are interested in my views on education, please check out any speech by Sir Ken Robinson or Frank Smith's Insult to Intelligence. The latter is an excellent book that summarizes most of what Sir Ken Robinson says, only 25 years earlier! Without further ado, my interview (be kind):
