88. Omer Atesmen, Founder & CEO of The Skills

Today I’m joined by Omer Atesmen, Founder and CEO of The Skills —
an online education platform offering courses taught by the
world’s best athletes. 


 


In this episode, Omer explains how the company was able to
partner with athletes like Michael Phelps, Maria Sharapova, and
Megan Rapinoe. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in
EdTech, including content production and competitors like
MasterClass. And Omer shares his plan for building the definitive
education platform in the sports and wellness space.
