Meet Our Host
I'm Jeremy Singer. I've spent the past 25 years leading work in nonprofits, for-profits, start-ups, and Fortune 500 companies. Today, I lead the College Board as president. So I live and breathe education. In 2024, I took a 6-month leave from College Board to serve as executive advisor at the U.S. Department of Education, launching the reintroduction of FAFSA®. I might be the seven-thousandth Brooklynite who is starting their own podcast, but I'm also analytical, data-driven, and not a big fan of fluff. Some may call it a strength. My partner, well, finds it a little less charming. But I promise to bring that same clear-eyed approach to discussing every idea in every episode. So if you're ready to dive into education with me—and I mean really dive in—press play.
