Welcome to the latest edition of the Social Capital Newsletter. Social Capital is an intangible asset at the heart of a new and dynamic view of success, one that is changing business and the world as we know it during one of the most difficult and turbulent times in recent history. There's no denying the American educational system is still recovering from the pandemic, and many children have years of catching up to do. That's a big concern to Social Capital CEOs, who rely on our nation's schools to prepare the youngest generations to be part of the workforce of the future. Fortunately, some of the best minds in the country are focusing their efforts on bringing improvements to our schools, so all children have a chance to learn and reach their potential, as students and as citizens. One of these leaders is Chuck Cohn, founder of Nerdy, a platform for online learning that is transforming how people learn through technology.
