A little bit about Nick:
He earned a perfect score on the SAT, but thinks standardized tests are overrated. He won grants to teach kids to surf in China, explore caves in Tibet, study business at the University of Oxford, and explore Art History in Italy. Nick is a former Research Associate at the Quality of Life Research Center where he studied creativity, learning, and flow under his mentor, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He founded numerous companies, including Test Prep Gurus, a test prep and education consulting firm based in Newport Beach, California that works with students across the United States, and more than a dozen other countries. Nick is a writer, speaker, entrepreneur, consultant, and podcaster.
Ask questions. Don’t accept the status quo. Be curious.
