About this listen

 The Missing Curriculum is the survival guide for life after high school. While school taught you to solve for X, it often missed the "how-to" of being a functional adult. Over a five-year journey, this podcast fills those gaps with weekly lessons on the practical, professional, and personal. From choosing between college, trades, or the military to mastering credit, taxes, and basic home repair, we cover the essentials. Whether you’re a graduate or just finding your footing, we’re here to help you write your own map. Adulting isn’t a mystery—it’s a skill you can master, one week at a time.Greg Parrott

    S1 E1: The "Why" of Adulting
    Apr 23 2026

    Why does high school leave us feeling so unprepared for the real world? In the series premiere of The Missing Curriculum, we break down the gap between academic learning and "life" learning. Host Gregory Parrott introduces the 5-year roadmap designed to take you from a confused graduate to a master of your own life. We discuss the importance of a growth mindset, why it's okay to be "bad" at adulting initially, and set the stage for a 260-week journey toward independence. Grab your notebook—it's time to start the education you actually should have had.
