For Learning’s Sake with Headmaster Paul Q. Fisher
In classical education, we like to say that learning is good for its own sake. For Learning's Sake is our attempt to enjoy learning for its own sake through engaging long-form conversations with fascinating people from whom we can learn unexpectedly fun, curious, challenging, and inspiring things! Many guests are from the Capstone Classical Academy community and network, with occasional appearances by folks from far-flung places. You never know where the road will take you when you engage in learning for learning's sake!

Fisher visits about this topic and others with Brady Nash, entrepreneur and Associate Head for Athletics at Capstone Classical Academy, and father to several Capstone students.
