What really defines success? For too long, school results and test scores have been seen as the ultimate measure. But life after school tells a different story. In our very first episode of More Than a Score, hosts Laura and Dan introduce the vision behind the podcast\u2014why marks aren\u2019t the whole picture, and why the real lessons are often found in resilience, relationships, and the pathways we take beyond school. This episode sets the stage for the series. You\u2019ll hear why we\u2019re creating a space to share the stories of everyday people\u2014leaders, parents, athletes, entrepreneurs, and creatives\u2014reflecting on their school days, what shaped them, and how they define success today. If you\u2019re a parent, student, teacher, or simply someone who remembers the weight and pressure of school results, this podcast is for you. We\u2019ll remind you that success comes in many forms, that there is no one “right” pathway beyond school, and that it really is about far more than a score.
