Before “college isn’t worth it” became a popular idea, Dr. Kenan Sahin had already lived every side of the American education system—as a student, professor, innovator, and entrepreneur.
In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, he joins host Joe Pardavila to share insights from his new book, American Educational Excellence: The Foundation of Our Values, Democracy, and Market Capitalism.
Dr. Sahin explains why U.S. education remains the most dynamic system in the world, why it’s tied directly to democracy and innovation, and why calls to abandon college miss the bigger picture.
He also breaks down: * How comfort and prosperity can distort our view of progress * Why American education produces more adaptable and entrepreneurial * thinkers than any other system * The historical roots of collaboration between universities, business, and government * Why tenure and academic independence still matter * The future of learning in the age of automation and AI
If you’ve ever questioned the role of higher education—or the future of learning in America—this conversation will change how you think about both.
