Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, loves to learn. So when schools closed, he began hosting a livestream series, Homeroom with Sal, where he brought on fascinating people from the worlds of education, technology, and more, to ask them questions about their chosen fields and their philosophies of life. We took some of our favorite conversations from that livestream and curated them as this podcast!
