S2E294: Why This Alpha High Schooler Is Living Alone in a New City for 8 Weeks

How do we actually prepare teens to launch into adulthood? In this episode, MacKenzie is joined by Alpha student Alex, who’s cohosting the conversation to provide an inside look into Alpha's philosophy around cultivating real-world readiness in teens.

As a high schooler, Alex is taking on a challenge most adults would hesitate to try. He'll be spending eight weeks living on his own in a new city halfway across the country to gain real business experience before graduation. His experience will serve as a case study about what kids truly need before they leave home- and how parents can start building independence, confidence, and autonomy long before senior year.
