In this episode of TMN Creative Thinking, Pablo Herrera, founder of Teens Media Network, reflects on his creative journey from Argentina to Spain and New York, and shares how curiosity, technology and real-world experiences shaped both his career and his vision for education.

Throughout the conversation, he discusses why living across different cultures expands our perspective, why young people shouldn't be forced to define their future too early and how discovering what we're capable of often begins with access to the right opportunities rather than following traditional educational paths.

He also explores the impact of artificial intelligence on education, the importance of developing human skills, why mistakes are an essential part of learning and how mentorship should become a two-way process where both generations continue learning from one another. The conversation concludes with the philosophy behind Teens Media Network and why creating real opportunities for young people remains at the center of its mission.

The interview was conducted by TMN creators Hasi Kapali and Emil Cinto during the Big Picture Learning, Big Bang Conference 2026 in Dallas, Texas.
