Luke Grim and Brian Perry are the Founders of 'These 16 Things,' a website and newsletter aimed at teaching kids things that schools don't. Their mission is to prepare kids for a self-sufficient life when they're ready to leave the house and live on their own.
They sat down to talk with me about their project, their mission, and how it's different from the SEL taught in schools.
