We're continuing our season on "business as a force for good", Richard speaks with Sahra-Josephine Hjorth, co-founder and CEO of CanopyLAB. Sahra-Josephine has been at the forefront of transforming education through social learning and artificial intelligence since 2015. CanopyLAB is the world's first-of-its-kind learning experience platform, and CanopyLAB has trained more than 500,000 youth and 130,000 teachers over the past five years, yielding groundbreaking results.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
  • Why Sahra-Josephine is on a mission to build the world's biggest learning platform for youth, and the gap she spotted in the market.
  • How she pivoted the business from outbound sales, to inbound only.
  • The "$1M mistake" she made, and what she learned as a result.
  • Why and how she works to be the most well-informed person in the room.
  • When perfectionism can be good - and when not.
  • How Sahra-Josephine stays creative, and the innovation that the "self-driving car" prompted.
  • What "AI Fridays" are and why they're so great.
