But there was only one problem: You never wrote back to that email. And I even started assembling a team of advisors. And so, just a few days after the episode came out, back in April 2021, I sent you an email outlining an ambitious plan in which we - you and me - could collaborate to expand your Khan Lab School from its current single location to 15 or 20 locations within three or four years. And I wasn’t surprised by that, because I also wanted to get my kids into your school, if you remember. And most of them wanted to know how they could get their kids into the Khan Lab School. We received about 10 times as many listener emails as we usually get. LEVITT: Okay, so when you came on the show the first time, listeners found your message inspirational. So, I feel very honored to have you in that spot. We’ve done some double episodes where we do one interview and turn into two shows, but you are the first to make a return visit. LEVITT: Sal, it’s so great to have you back for a second appearance on the show. But the path to collaboration was not always smooth. Because of that initial podcast interview, I, and my team at the University of Chicago, are heavily involved in creating the curriculum for the Khan World School. When I launched this podcast, I dreamed that it would lead not just to interesting conversations, but also to collaborations with my guests that might make the world a better place. Welcome to People I (Mostly) Admire, with Steve Levitt. KHAN: The young people that we’re starting to see come through the door for the Khan World School - these are going to be the kids who are going to change the world. I’m excited to talk today with Sal about his latest ambitious endeavor, the launching of the Khan World School. ![]() ![]() We talked then about Khan Academy and the small experimental school - the Khan Lab School - he’d started. I met Sal for the first time when he came on this podcast in the spring of 2021. Today, I welcome Sal Khan back to the show. ![]()
