In this electrifying episode, Iván Watanabe and Evan Wohl sit down with Kate Stone, founder of Kate Stone Prep, to unpack why getting into college and building a meaningful life takes more than grades and a good essay. Drawing from her roots in acting, global teaching experience, and years of mentoring students through transformative projects, Kate explains how real-world skills, big goals, and personal authenticity are redefining the college prep game.
She doesn’t just coach students to write their best essays; she coaches them to live their best stories.
