Joe's a software entrepreneur turned education reformer.

As we discussed in the podcast, he dropped out of Stanford. In about 1989, started a company called Trilogy that's gone on to become one of the most profitable software companies in the world that you've probably never heard of because it's remained private this entire time. Joe basically left Trilogy three years ago to become the principal of Alpha School, and his passion today, and as he discusses for the next couple of decades of his life is going to be on transforming K-12 education. Now, of course, this is something that many people have thought about before, but I think what is really remarkable about the way Joe tells the story is that all previous efforts to transform K through 12 have been missing a critical piece of infrastructure.
