Megan McMullin
Founder, Captivated Learning
When I was a teenager, a mentor introduced me to self-directed learning — and it changed everything. By 25, I was running a successful business, debt-free, and living with clarity and purpose I hadn't imagined possible. Watching peers struggle without those same foundational skills lit a fire in me, and Captivated Learning is my answer: real-world education that equips young people to think clearly, act intentionally, and build lives they're proud of.
