Marat is the Founder & President of York Entrepreneurship Development Institute (YEDI), and he reengineered and sold 36 distressed companies before earning a PhD in small business crisis management, and he's built YEDI into a globally ranked, tuition-free entrepreneurship accelerator. The 3 Key Takeaways From Today's Episode: 1. True Personalization Only Scales With AI: AI now lets YEDI tailor programming to one student instead of a region or country. Marat calls it a massive untapped market. 2. Outdated Compliance Rules Are a Hidden Tax on Growth: Ministry of Higher Education rules force YEDI to run disconnected platforms for admissions, academics, and finance. Marat's team now uses AI to bridge those systems and reclaim the hours. 3. Write It Yourself Before You Let AI Polish It: Every YEDI student must write their first essay draft themselves before using AI to polish it. Marat says losing that thinking is the real risk of AI in education.
