In this week's episode of the Work It Like a Mum podcast, we sit down with Dan Nachmias, founder of Elysian Minds, to explore how we can better prepare children for a rapidly changing world.
Created for children aged 7–12, Elysian Minds combines core academics with life skills, including financial literacy, emotional intelligence, resilience, leadership, confidence, and understanding of AI – all delivered through an engaging, gamified platform.
Drawing on his experience as an entrepreneur and a parent, Dan shares why he created Elysian Minds, the skills he believes children need for the future and why productive screen time could help parents support their children's development beyond the traditional classroom.
What we cover:
- Dan's journey from entrepreneur to founder of Elysian Minds
- Why he believes traditional education doesn't always prepare children for the world they're growing into
- Turning screen time into productive learning and growth
- Why skills like resilience, confidence, leadership and financial literacy matter from an early age
- Helping children develop problem-solving and independent thinking
- The importance of teaching children how to learn and build self-discipline
- How Elysian Minds combines Maths, English and Science with practical life skills
- Preparing children for a future shaped by AI, technology and entrepreneurship
- How parents can use the platform alongside school and tailor learning to their child.
Key takeaways:
💜 Preparing children for the future is about more than academic results – confidence, resilience, problem-solving and emotional intelligence matter too.
💜 Screen time doesn't always have to be passive. Used intentionally, technology can become an opportunity for children to learn, develop and grow.
💜 The world our children will work in could look very different from today, making adaptable thinking and lifelong learning increasingly valuable.
