How to become the world's #1 LSAT tutor - Ellen Cassidy, Founder & CEO at Elemental Prep
Ellen Cassidy is a joy to be around and once you know her story you'll have even more respect for that. From humble beginnings to say the least, she is the product of a drug dealer and their customer and was raised in a single parent household. She learned to find agency through her academics earning her way into Stanford undergrad, which seemed worlds away from her upbringing in Philly. Ellen shares how instances of feeling other, misses, and failures led her down the right path for her - toward becoming the world's top LSAT tutor and founder of the online Hogwarts for LSAT prep. She's forthcoming about her entrepreneurial journey as not having been linear - how she deferred Harvard law three times before capturing her LSAT teachings into what became the #1 LSAT prep book The Loophole and subsequently growing Elemental Prep to a 100K MRR business. We end with Ellen's tips on how to become a top 1% reader, as well as how to prep youngsters in our lives for better reading comprehension. Your brain will tickle with engagement at this one, enjoy Ellen!

    Wait what?! So your body isn't functioning and that's good? Is truly making you stronger or you just getting used to it? If you look at those anorexic chicks and they're passing out and look like refugees are they the strongest? Everyone should eat well and make good food choices. You don't need snacks you need a good meal. You don't need to work out counting your body percentage you know what's good. Get some exercise and focus on what you can do and feel good. We need to be healthy strong and FULLY FUNCTIONAL!

    Because boys and girls, just like men and women are different. Imagine that! Most people aren't telling kids they CANT do the other things, those people are few and far between. But we are to teach the kids how the society we live in works.

    • @sispacouet
      @sispacouet Před rokem

      for some reason, people don't treat little boys and little girls the same. usually treat little boys as destructive. and chaotic lttle ppl. and the little girl says. pretty little princesses that are sensitive fragile. little boys have to figure out they have to start making things happen for themselves and little girls are getting things done for them. I may have not used the words you would use. but it's pretty much the gist of it. treat your kids the same. and invest in their growth. and you won't have to worry about this stuff. everybody's a little different. but if you're a good parent, you're able to give them what they need. then you don't grow up to just whine over everything. you stand up and make a difference.

    I asked my daughter if she wants to do karate or dance. She chose dance. She also loves doing the laundry. I never ask her to. She thinks it’s fun. It’s not all about sexism. Sometimes it’s just the child’s personal interests. And let’s face it. In general boys and girls are different and normally have different interests.
