In his new book, Uneducated, Christopher Zara tells a highly personal story about the education divide and the stigma of being degreeless in a 21st-century knowledge economy.
He retraces his ill-fated journey through an overcrowded public-school system; getting classified as “emotionally disturbed”; ejected in 11th grade; being trapped in low-wage service jobs throughout his 20s and 30s; landing a lucky break in journalism; and finally, his years-long struggle to assimilate as a high-school dropout in the elite world of New York City media.
Tune in to hear Christopher's answers to questions such as:
What happened to you in high school that got you kicked out in 11th grade? How did you become an editor at a leading business magazine in NYC with only a GED? How has your lack of a formal education impacted your approach to news coverage? Why are large companies (Google, GM, IBM) relaxing their degree requirements now? How has social anxiety impacted your career? And much, much more! -

Salifya Akers is a passionate and talented plus-size personal stylist with over seven years of styling experience in the fashion industry. Her love for fashion led her to pursue her Bachelor's in Consumer Apparel Retail Studies from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Salifya started her career as a stylist for a popular plus-size chain retailer. She found joy in helping women cultivate their personal style and break free of limiting beliefs about plus-size fashion. Looking to be more impactful, she transitioned to corporate America, working for a major department store where she worked in one of their private label brands for special sizes. However, her heart was happiest helping people on a personal level, so she launched her own company, Styled By Sal, which empowers plus-size women through wardrobe and style mentality transformations.
