Go to school, get good grades, get a good job, work your way up the ladder, and then enjoy life when you retire.

This idea has been drummed into our heads since we were young, but today it's totally defunct.

Following that path means you're likely to end up with a mountain of student debt and an incredibly expensive piece of paper that guarantees neither job security nor even a real education.

In my mind, the best model for education and success is the oldest one: mentorship.

It's the best way to learn real skills– studying directly under someone who has mastered the skills that you hope to develop.

It's the way the world worked for thousands of years, and it's the way that still makes the most sense today.

For seven years in a row we've built our annual Liberty and Entrepreneurship camps around this concept of mentorship.
