In this first episode of Values Beyond Time, I sit down with Dr. Jorge Campos, Assistant Professor and CEO of A&J Group (Award-Winning Education Specialists), to explore how timeless values like integrity, resilience, and authenticity shape true leadership and learning in today’s fast-paced world. From his early days working and studying in the UK to founding a multi-award-winning school, Jorge shares both personal stories and professional insights that challenge conventional ideas of success, education, and growth. We talk about personalized learning, emotional intelligence, the role of AI in education, and what it really means to lead a meaningful life, even when everything around us tells us to move faster. Whether you’re an educator, entrepreneur, leader, or lifelong learner, this conversation will remind you that success isn’t just about speed; it’s about staying grounded, connected, and deeply human. In this episode, we explore:

1. How timeless values guide leadership in an age of distraction
