#045 - Arjun Khemani on Education, Knowledge Creation, & The Internet

Arjun Khemani is a HS drop out and works at Airchat, an audio messaging network founded by Naval Ravikant and Brian Norgard. Arjun and I talk about education, knowledge creation, Airchat, the power of the internet, and more.

Given that Arjun is located in India on a completely opposite time zone, we thought we’d use Airchat to make a unique, experimental episode. So, this is a collection of a bunch of asynchronously recorded audio messages on the platform. It’ll probably feel different in a couple of ways, and it’s shorter than normal, but it was a blast to record. Please enjoy.
