Educo Community

Virginia Tech psychology professor, Scott Geller, and I cover the topics in his latest book: "Life Lessons from Psychological Science." We discuss how his ideas apply to our lives, to our work, and to our communities.

In this episode of the Educo Community Podcast, I speak with the founder of Think Great, Erik Therwanger. We discuss what it takes to be a great leader, how to respond to crises, and how to plan and execute on your goals.

Today I am joined by Shauna Shapiro. Shauna is a professor, author, and internationally recognized expert in mindfulness. She has over 20 years of studying meditation in Thailand, Nepal, and the West. She has also published 150 Journal articles and chapters and co-authored the critically acclaimed texts, "The Art and Science of Mindfulness," as well as "Mindful Discipline: A Loving Approach to Setting Limits and Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child." Today she and I talk about how mindfulness applies to personal development, to education, to the corporate world, and to parenting.

Usually, on these podcasts, I interview an expert on their topic, how they use their advice in real life, and the practical steps you can take to make a meaningful difference in your life. But Educo Community is ultimately not just about using Expert advice to get started; it is about helping at every step along the journey. For the fourth episode, I want to share with you a podcast interview I did about a year ago when I had just come up with the idea that would turn into Educo Community as it is today. The podcast interview is with Rajiv Nathan and Martin McGovern the cofounders of Idea Lemon. An organization dedicated to helping people make their ideas a reality. We talked about how to find meaning in work, finding the right metrics of success, and an idea I had that would turn into Educo Community.

In the third episode of the Educo Community podcast, Dr. Regan A.R. Gurung and I discuss how to improve your self-awareness, deal with difficult emotions in the right way, and how to build the proper social networks to achieve your greater goals.

In the second episode of the Educo Community podcast, Dr. Scott Geller and I discussed the power of psychological science, humanism, and how we can improve our lives by actively caring for people.

In the first episode of the Educo Community podcast, Bill and I discussed his personal story with growth, what it really means to push your comfort zone, and how he and his team continually push their comfort zones to grow as a company and as individuals.
