Our Expertise Matters

Liam Turley- Founder

Liam founded Education Road inspired by his own journey of personal growth and self-discovery. During his final years of school, he faced the uncertainty many people experience: feeling lost, questioning his path, and struggling to find passion and purpose. It was through the guidance of his mentor, Richard, and a period of deep self-reflection that Liam set meaningful goals, worked through his obstacles, and ultimately found his direction.

After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Lynn University with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in Entrepreneurship, Liam was motivated to create Education Road—a platform to support individuals who are navigating their own journeys. His vision is to connect people with the right tools, mentors, and resources to help them uncover their true purpose and create fulfilling, successful lives.

Education Road aims to be more than just a coaching service. Liam envisions it as a comprehensive platform that integrates education, health and wellness, career development, and personal growth. By bringing together diverse resources—from mentorship to educational content, and wellness tools—Education Road will empower individuals to enhance all areas of their lives, while fostering a vibrant community of like-minded people pursuing their goals.

Liam’s passion for helping others is rooted in his belief that everyone has the potential to create a meaningful life. With Education Road, he hopes to provide the guidance, support, and inspiration needed to help others find their path and achieve lasting success.
