About Altus Talks

Altus Talks is a podcast, self-produced by 6th, 7th and 8th graders at Altus Academy.

We interview leaders in industry and in our community. We cover topics ranging from personal interest to career advice.

We love to ask our guests about:

  • their careers
  • their dreams & goals
  • and for the advice they wish they could give to their 6th, 7th and 8th grade selves.

We love to brag to our guests about:

  • what we’re learning in school
  • what we want to do with our lives
  • and how we want to positively impact the world
