Careers IRL

business, careers · EN

Careers aren’t built in straight lines—and neither are skills. In short, honest conversations, founders, creatives, and builders share how they actually learned what they know—the detours, mistakes, curiosity, and books that shaped them. This channel is supported by Athenian, the nonprofit providing literacy and STEM programs designed to help kids build confidence and practical skills through reading and hands-on learning. Our proprietary books—the Charms Book Series- show that fun and skill-building go hand in hand. For teens, this is a place where books aren’t homework.
