Steven Wolfe Pereira: “It's very a false dichotomy that you cannot have something be both entertainment and education and deliver it through technology.”
When it comes to the future of education, Steven Wolfe Pereira fancies himself a prognosticator. It’s a title he’s earned rightfully, having set his sights on reforming ed-tech all the way back in 2016 when he formed Encantos, a direct-to-consumer creator platform that helps kids learn. In this episode, we sit down with the co-founder and CEO to discuss how he disrupted the fragmented world of kids’ apps by bringing video, audio, books and games together in one place; why entertainment had never been truly factored into ed-tech previously; and why getting learning right is so important for the future of the workforce. He also muses on his experiences growing up bilingual and putting connection with multicultural audiences at the center of business.
