“The chip gets all the way in your brain, I guess it'll figure out how to play the piano for you. In the intermediate period, I think you'll be able to say, what do I need to really know about learning the piano and the best, the best, the very best knowledge on that for you? And it'll watch the way you play the piano and say, oh, I got to change the course. Oh, I got to keep changing the course and keep being adaptive. Maybe it means maybe it means I'll put you in touch with a different teacher because you're not ready for this little piece. This person's really good to use the piano analogy. This person's really good. I play the piano. This person's really good with your fingers. This person's much better with reading music. This person's much better with this. And you'll just have a constant stream of the best expertise from all those people.”

The things that are by less strange are how do I grow as a professional? But it usually is more specific. It usually is things like how do I build an HR organization that can support a culture that I want to build? And can I talk to people like Patty McCord in doing that? Can I talk to who do I talk to?”

“Well, if it meets Harvard, there are pieces of both, and I suppose that we are somewhat of the gig economy. We're providing gigs for people to teach, for sure, but at a relatively high price point, a relatively high scale. But it's professionals.”

“Well, you really did take two years of science and then you really are in clerkships and internship and residency. And in those, there's this great expression, by the way, C121, teach one in medical school where you watch an Avendectomy, you do the affendectomy, and then you teach the appendectomy, and then you know the appendectomy. And that seems like a model for, and you're doing this very personally. Someone's right over your shoulder making sure over and over again that you, this is something you actually know. And I think to your point about digital impact, I think that that kind of learning is just much more possible than you think. Just to give you a sense of scale, we've paid our teachers who like to say about a billion dollars at this point. So we're not officially in the gig economy per se just because we're focused on higher level professionals.”

“And this brings you to the other side of GLG, which is so important, which is people love to teach. And if you think about your career, you're going to spend time learning and you're going to spend time learning and teaching, and you're going to spend time teaching in some continuum. People learn through teaching. They stay engaged in the workforce through teaching. They may call it consulting, they may call it joining boards, they may call it a lot of things, but just straight up sharing your expertise teaches you a lot too. And that matters because if you think about the future of learning, you're not going to be constrained to the people that are just readily available to in your local community. You'll be able to find kind of like an Etsy. You'll be able to find the people around the world that love to teach that thing.”

“And when I became a reporter, I learned to ask people questions. So then I went back to school when I was a very, very serious chemistry pre-med student and I was planning on going to medical school. And I met these folks who were starting this publishing company at the time. And it's a long story, but I started going to medical conferences for a company in New York, and I would act as a private reporter. And I ended up going to the neurology conference.

“And she was diagnosed with some idiopathic cortical atrophy. I don't even know what that is. Exactly. And that's the point. It's idiopathic meaning we don't know why cortical atrophy meaning our brain is shrinking. So her brain is shrinking and we don't know why. And it happened when she was, I think, 52, and we were driving to school and she got lost. And then within six months, she didn't know who I was. And so we went and got a first opinion. And, you know, to this point, we go get a first opinion. And the doctor says we don't know what's happening. So you get a second opinion. And the doctor says, we don't know what's happening. And so you go read everything you can about frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's and Louie Body and stroke and you're trying to figure out what's going on. And that happened to me. And I went to college and I ended up leaving college for a few years just because of taking care of her. And I became a reporter.”

“I think the digital piece of the match, like, what do you know now, and why do you, why is it that you need more help with that is really powerful, those testing systems. I think that there's also game-based assessments of sort of non-specific qualities that are really interesting in terms of what do I need to learn. But once it's like, what do I need to go learn? I think there's so much proof that a conversation is the only thing that's adaptive enough to keep up with the person being, in other words, two years ahead, two years behind on any given subject, but it's any given minute, any given subject. You're constantly a little behind, a little behind. You're following me a little bit in what I'm saying. You're a little behind. And conversation is just so powerful to achieve that. And let me just make it real, let me bring you back to the founding story, if you don't mind. It's a personal story. I think lays out how you would think about it too.

“Yeah, more people have access for certain things, particularly based skill development or writing learned to code or learning base math, Khan Academy, these things are incredible, but they don't change the nature of the learning. The nature of the learning comes down to what is the, how are we interacting? And there are, of course, historical precedents for this. There's, I think, I wish I knew the word. I think it's Havrusa or something. It's the Jewish tradition of debate that they teach in Yeshiva and you're paired up with someone else and you just keep debating.”

“Yeah, just made it much more customizable. And I did that to a pretty particular business decision, which was just not to pay the manufacturer until he bought the customized pieces. So one of our core ideas is we just don't pay for any of the learning until the customer needs it. And that allows us to have many, many, many, many more courses, effectively millions of courses available. Same with Amazon. When it launched, they didn't buy the books until after the customer ordered the book so they could have a couple million books and Barnes& Noble was stuck with this is the long tail. Sure. Theory And the long tail is so important to learning. I mean, what people need to learn is often in the long tail, or the right teacher is often in the long tail.”

“That's right. That's right. And that's really important because if you think about Harvard, you don't just go to Harvard and get to pick all the things you might want to learn. That's not the thing. The thing is that they also can recommend if you want to study classics, these are the things you have to know in classics. We aim to be like that. So we are not, and we operate like that, meaning much of what you do at GLG, maybe 70% of it is stuff you initiate, but 30% of the stuff that we're recommending. And we spent a lot of time on that. Similarly, we want to spend a lot of time figuring out what you want to teach, which is just as hard. Most people that join our membership, again, even as best the teachers.”

“And we like all those technologies if a GLG match can take place through VR or anything you want to call it. We're very happy about that. But what we're interested in is we're interested in two questions, which is what do people want to learn? So I used an example when you call us about schools, for example. But once you do a project on, let's say, on school security, we should be able to recommend a project to you on hotel security because you're interested in one you're probably like Netflix.”

“Right. So talk about how learning has to change then. Where does it go, and how does digital technologies help that? Obviously, people are mobile. People are listening to a lot more. They're consuming tons of podcasts. A lot of educational podcasts, things like that. VR has this enormous capability of changing VR, really, or mixed reality. I think that's the term we like to use now. Talk a little bit about how that changes, because you're just doing better matching, essentially, if people have a problem, you're finding their solutions.”

So I guess that's just the number of people that can connect and you've, you know, the nude matching would say that Francis' best students are Uber, you know, Huawei and a company that's trying to scale in Europe. And those are the three people who are wrestling with culture the most. And so those should be her students. And she should still be a Harvard faculty member in teaching those students. But the old world said the only of the people that can come to Boston and therefore in the class. Right.”

But I would imagine that she gets to apply all the things that she's been working on. Whereas if she goes to teach at business school, she just teaches introductory entrepreneurialism, business leadership. I mean, these generic courses. So people love to teach the thing they really know and care about. And so the whole system, basically the whole system is built on old matching technology that should be replaced.”

“It's not that there's not a lot of information on Google. It's that learning doesn't take place solely by reading. I mean, you can learn a lot by reading something, but the question is, how do you really grow? How do you learn? I always like to say the MBA is one of those incredibly broken things, not because you shouldn't go or something like that, but because when you leave it, you don't know any business. You listen to a bunch of lectures, but you can't fire someone. You have no actual business skills. And it would be so much better if you applied to Harvard, you got in. Now we know something about you. But then you spent the next five years in a series of small group learning experiences in companies. You spend a year in product development at Google. You spent a year in finance at Goldman. You spent a year in the best companies. And you really learn through those experiences, which would be much closer to a traditional apprenticeship guild or apprenticeship in Europe.”

It's one of the few things healthcare is the other one that hasn't changed that much because of digitization or the ability to do that, to connect people in the same way. Dating has changed drastically. Like if you think about how good, you know, I mean, good or bad, depending on how much you like those services, but they really do. They've solved a problem that analog hasn't been able to solve. And everyone knows that education is broken in some way. When I look at some of my kids' stuff or just, you know, myself, I don't learn at all. Like people don't learn all day long about things. I think you read the internet is what you do.”

You go to take a course on marketing for two weeks with 50 of your peers from totally different sized companies who have totally different levels of expertise. What's the average level in that class? It's just average. It's by definition going to be really easy for you one part and two confusing for you on the other part. What you need is exactly the right course with exactly the right teacher. And that's not that hard to deliver as long as you don't just try to scale it just so fast as long as you don't just open the idea of the way we've talked.”

So there are tons of cool technologies for solving that and testing, like using AI or otherwise, just more simple algorithms to make sure you get questions that you don't on things you don't understand and questions and no questions on the stuff you've already mastered. Lots of software works that way today. But adult learning doesn't take place like that. You don't have a chance to just have exactly the right teacher.”

Some kids are two years ahead today, tummy years are two years behind. That's statistically how big the gap is. On any given subject, I totally get that little piece their way ahead, they're way behind. Well, if they're way ahead, they're bored, and if they're way behind, they're confused. But the teachers can't solve for that because teachers got 25 students and it's all got to be teach.”
