When I meet outstanding people, I always want to discover their background story - the why. Ricardo Leppe, founder of the educational platform Wissen Schafft Freiheit:
"I've lived three years in Peru, in South America. We lived in the mountains in I think it was 3200 meters 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. No electricity, no cars, no money there. And I lived there from age five to eight.
It was a really, really cool childhood when 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲, to live symbiotic way with the nature, and we were taught to improve ourselves and to believe in ourselves and that I'm good as I am and very different to our school system in Europe.
Then we came back to Europe. I went to normal school, but normal is a very stretchable word. We in the morning, my parents came into my room and knocked at the door, and they said good morning, Ricardo. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝗜 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼, 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄. 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽. And sometimes I said, okay, ask me next week again."
