At The DaVinci Institute, DaVinci Executive Dr Sam February exemplifies our commitment to co-creating realities that foster sustainable, human-centred innovation. This ethos came to life in a recent Rise FM interview, where he joined Taking Care of Business to unpack the importance of entrepreneurship education.
Speaking with clarity and purpose, Dr February challenged the traditional mindset that sees young people as future employees waiting to slot into a job-giving economy. Instead, he proposed a radical but necessary shift, nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age, not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how we educate and empower.

Co-Creating a New Educational Mindset
During the conversation, Dr February challenged the traditional belief that education should prepare young people solely for employment. Instead, he advocated for a bold shift, one that positions entrepreneurship as a way of thinking that must be nurtured from early on in a learner’s journey.
He highlighted the need for communities, educators, families and leaders to work together in co-creating an environment where innovation and agency are encouraged. Entrepreneurship, he emphasised, is not simply about running a business. It’s about helping young people see new possibilities for their lives and communities, and equipping them to take meaningful action.
