with a daily class schedules, to kind of approximate,

The imperative

keep the learning going on during the closers,

Talk to interesting people about interesting topics

And so over the course of this conversation,

I'll give him a proper introduction in a few minutes.

I encourage you to put any questions you might have

and our team is going to be looking at them,

and getting to as many of them as possible.

Khan Academy just as a reminder is a not for profit,

we only exist because of philanthropic donations.

We were running at a deficit even before the COVID crisis,

and you could imagine now that our traffic,

our usage is almost three X of what it typically is,

registrations are five to 10 X of what they typically are,

and we're trying to accelerate a bunch of programs,

I wanna give a special shout out to several corporations

that have stepped up in just the last few weeks

to help with this effort including Bank of America,

So thanks all of them, and for our longtime supporters,

obviously, many foundations and corporations,

So with that, I'd like to introduce our next guest

who is actually been playing a huge role in Khan Academy,

even existing, he's been a supporter of Khan Academy

from really the early years, Jorge Paulo Lemann.

I thought there's a lot of interesting things for us

to talk about over the course of this con,

over the course of the next 30 minutes or so.

You've done very well and from a business point of view,

you've been a very active philanthropist.

I think you have some very interesting life stories.

We have some young, a lot of young people

who watch this Live stream who are really just trying

to figure out how to navigate their own lives,

you know, I was reading some of your bio,

and obviously, we've known each other for many years now,

but talk a little bit about your early start,

you know, it sounds like you're a very good student.

you weren't a fish in water initially,(laughs)

- So I went to college when I was very young, 17.

I had never been to the United States before.

And I was basically a surfer and a tennis player.

I wasn't used to studying, I wasn't used to reading,

so it was very tough but I made it through,

of the many crises I sort of went through in life.

And I guess it started when I was born five days

I remember to my family, listening to bank,

Voice of America and finding out what was going on the war.

there is some sort of a crisis that comes up,

and you really learn how to live with them,

And each one of the crises I think I've come out

a better informed person or better prepared person,

and I'm trying to figure out what are gonna be the learnings

and how can I come out of it better than I was before,

- Now, that's a good way to think about it.

And you have more experience to draw from than I do,

but it does seem like it feels around roughly every decade,

But I wanna double click on what you talked
