JAMIE BEATON | Interview: Accepted!, Personal High-School Journey, Business

In this inspiring interview, I had the privilege of sitting down with Jamie Beaton, a man of many talents. From an incredibly successful student (graduating from Harvard, Stanford, Oxford Rhodes, Yale amongst others), to a visionary entrepreneur co-founding a company now worth US$550 million and being named in the Forbes 30 under 30, and now a successful Author, Jamie is able to share many unique insights into his own high-school life, his book, and his company. His book ‘Accepted!’ compiles the best advice that has been gained from experience working with thousands of students, demystifying the previously daunting college admissions process into a structured, relatable, and game-changing process that has changed the lives of many students around the world. This was a truly enlightening conversation with a truly inspiring individual.
