Building a Sustainable Educational Ecosystem: Bridging the Economic Disconnect
I’m Zachary — here’s a bit about me below.
Currently:
Running Runstr — Where Students + Teachers share their journey with their paying supporters.
My remaining time is dedicated to playing chess, adventuring, cooking, cycling, and learning from those who aim to make a positive impact on the world.
I am a firm believer that stasis is society’s true enemy and that we need to embrace change and progress. The future should be seen as a place of promise.
Cheers to tomorrow — always!
Past:
