## Resource

Our youth will encounter numerous transitions in their life, and sometimes they feel alone, forgotten, and want to give up. Is your child, your grandchild, or a young person you know struggling, looking for hope, answers, and someone to believe in them? Then this episode is for you! My guests, Loni Lebanoff and Daniel Puder, have devoted their lives to lifting this generation. Together, they are revolutionizing education for at-risk and off-track youth through Foundation Academies while developing cutting-edge AI educational technology through puder.ai. Loni Lebanoff is a powerhouse entrepreneur on a mission to transform education. By age 23, she had founded CogniTutor, a cutting-edge learning platform serving students in 21 states — from foster youth to adults looking to reclaim their education. With a sharp mind for strategy and a background in neuroscience, Loni turned a bold idea into a nationally recognized program. Daniel Puder is also a powerhouse entrepreneur, former undefeated MMA fighter, and WWE competitor who now channels his drive into transforming young lives. As the founder of My Life My Power, he builds programs that teach resilience, leadership, and self-discipline, empowering students and communities to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
