Aletheia Courses with Taylor

Welcome back to another episode of Chamber Chatter with your hosts, Meg and Renee! This week, we are diving into the world of alternative education opportunities right here on the Oregon Coast. We are joined by Taylor, the founder of Aletheia Courses an innovative educational monthly subscription designed to spark curiosity, challenge existing beliefs, question social norms, and help individuals get comfortable with being uncomfortable. With trust in higher education declining and hundreds of traditional colleges closing across the country, Taylor saw a massive gap between simply having access to information and actually knowing how to think. Taylor shares how Aletheia Courses was born as a direct response to a traditional education model.
