Most people assume that aging means inevitable decline—but health and mindset can tell a different story. At 53, Steven Kotler set out to defy the so-called “long slow rot” of aging by learning how to park ski, a feat most experts believed was biologically impossible past 35. Along the way, he uncovered that many of our mental and physical abilities are “use-it-or-lose-it” skills—ones we can actively train to extend performance, youthfulness, and joy. In this episode, Steven shares the science behind peak performance aging, how mindset shapes longevity, and why dynamic challenges like action sports may be the secret to staying young and profiting.

Embracing the Power of Learning: Insights from Gina AndersonIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Gina Anderson, CEO and co-founder of Luma Brighter Learning, to discuss how learning can drive personal transformation, support resilience, and inspire innovation in an AI-powered world. Gina—also an accomplished author and learning scientist—shares her insights on why hard tasks can unlock personal breakthroughs, how to maintain creativity in an automated world, and the future of authentic learning experiences.Why Embracing Discomfort Fuels GrowthGina begins by reflecting on her own relationship with discomfort, particularly through her routine of running—not because she loves it, but because it challenges her. She pairs this tough activity with joyful elements like scavenger hunts for colorful shells, turning a mental hurdle into an opportunity for mindfulness and reward. This playful mindset parallels how we should approach personal development: by pairing tough goals with incentives that make the journey sustainable.This theme connects to her core belief that learning, like running, requires repetition and resilience. Gina underscores that discomfort is not a sign of failure—it's evidence that growth is happening. When learners push past their comfort zones, they open the door to confidence, creativity, and capability. She offers practical tips like breaking big goals into small milestones and celebrating small wins to build momentum.For those struggling with change or burnout, Gina recommends re-evaluating how you engage with challenges. Are you avoiding them—or are you learning from them? Her advice is clear: lean into discomfort, but bring a little joy with you.About Gina AndersonDr. Gina Anderson is the co-founder and CEO of Luma Brighter Learning, a learning design and technology company specializing in training solutions for transportation and logistics companies.

Watching my children one lazy afternoon, unburdened by timetables and homework, I was struck by their innate curiosity. We embrace and celebrate this very authenticity in our little ones in our latest podcast episode. With my fellow wise women Carla, Sarah, and Luna, we weave a conversation around the unschooling movement—a radical shift from traditional education that nurtures a child's natural inclination towards learning. We delve into the essence of childhood, free from the assembly line of conventional schooling, where learning rhythms are as unique as each child.Unschooling isn't just an educational choice but a lifestyle reverberating through family dynamics and community interactions. In this podcast, we illustrate the profound autonomy that unschooling can cultivate. Beyond the freedom from a Monday-to-Friday schedule, unschooling challenges us to realign our perspective on what growth and development truly mean—recognizing the inherent brilliance in every child. We explore the societal implications of this shift, envisioning a future where each learning journey's uniqueness is respected and cherished.Yet, this path is not without its obstacles. The art of unschooling requires parents to shed layers of ingrained educational paradigms—a process we refer to as 'deschooling'. Our discussion touches on the challenges of navigating family life when traditional parenting scripts are set aside. From redefining 'talking back' to simply 'talking' to the deep bonds formed through natural authority, we share our experiences of reshaping family dynamics. As we wrap up our episode, we leave our listeners contemplating the diversity within the unschooling community, encouraging a future of education crafted through trust, autonomy, and the individual brilliance of each child.

Sarah Hunt, M. Ed. has more than 20 years of classroom instructing and school leadership expertise. She has implemented, led, and built an entire school-wide experiential learning program. Additionally, as an experienced Project-Based Learning (PBL) educator, her students learned by working on real-world, personally relevant projects.  She also has served on countless strategy teams and school boards tasked with evaluating, implementing, and launching new school initiatives.  Sarah is also the recipient of the 2019 NSEE Outstanding Leader in Experiential Education: K-12 award.  In this episode, Sarah talks to us about Authentic Learning, and how this approach to education not only enhances the ability to engage student voice, but it is also a great strategy for engaging and motivating students. It isn't easy, but Sarah gives some steps on how to incorporate it into your classroom practices. There is no doubt Sarah is passionate about Authentic Learning and she would love to talk to any interested educator about their ideas. Sarah and I talk about how authentic learning developed for her as an educator. She noticed that it felt more relevant to give students opportunities to connect what they were learning to the real world. Her students became more invested and their learning was on a deeper level.  Since starting she has known that project-based learning and authentic learning were more valuable, and she has worked with some great educators, to understand the research behind the benefits.  Sarah is always trying to find ways to give students voice and choice in the classroom. One of the best things we can do as a teacher is to put ourselves in our student's shoes and try to remember what it was like for us to be seen and valued and heard.  As a consultant, she shares how she works with educators to shift the way that they're teaching, and add more authenticity to their curriculum. She dispels the idea that authentic learning is an approach in which kids can learn whatever they want, and learning doesn't really matter. Authentic learning has standards we want them to meet. There's flexibility in how you get there.  Sarah shares that the most critical aspect of teaching is creating a relationship, so her students feel like she cares about who they are as an individual, more than she cares about who they are as a student.    Sarah shares resources  Another colleague who's also trying it.

Natalie Vardabasso believes learning is driven by our passions, aligned with our strengths, and at the heart of our humanity. It is the vehicle by which we find out who we are and how we might make a positive impact on the world. However, the beauty of learning is often lost in the business of school. It has become her greatest passion to reimagine education in the service of learning for all. Natalie strives to create an inclusive culture that fosters authentic learning towards the achievement of meaningful outcomes. Through intentional prototyping of instructional design and assessment practices, she continues to work towards a culturally-responsive and liberating praxis.

The future of schools is changing. The current education system is in need of change more than ever. Schools should focus on what students want to learn, and not what teachers want to teach them. Students should have the opportunity to explore their interests and passions in a safe environment.   The nation's schools are under more pressure than ever to educate kids for an information-rich, high-tech, entrepreneurial, global economy that demands a highly trained, informed, adaptable, and competent workforce. Today, postsecondary education is required for 80% of well-paying occupations.   A school that embraces design thinking will be able to create a more innovative environment for students by encouraging them to experiment with new ideas, engage in teamwork, take risks, and develop relationships with other students who have different skillsets from them.  The design process is one that starts with a problem and works through the steps of finding the solution.   Today's guest, Thomas Murray works with Future Ready Schools as the director of innovation. He's testified in front of the United States Congress and appeared on a variety of television and radio shows. Murray is a frequent conference keynote speaker who was named one of the NSBA's "20 to Watch" in 2018, the "national/global edtech leader of the year" in 2017, and the academy of arts and sciences' "education policy person of the year" in 2015. Both Learning Transformed and Personal and Authentic Learning have become best-sellers.   0:00 Introduction 1:49 What is Future Ready and what does it's framework look like? 6:20 How Future Ready answered the challenges posed by the pandemic 10:35 How to use design thinking to design studying practices with (and not for) students 11:50 The importance of the design thinking mindset and challenges when shifting mindset 17:21 Two inflection points that made Tom a great leader 22:01 Some strategies to help people develop empathy 24:45 Tom's views on leaders building social trust and influence 29:49 How can leaders build personal and authentic relationships with their teams   Download: How Do I Learn Best: A Design Thinking Experience https://designingschools.org/2022/03/22/part-two-how-do-i-learn-best-a-design-thinking-experience/   Leading Teams That Work Better Together Workshop: https://designingschools.org/workshops   Connect with Thomas Murray:   Website: https://www.thomascmurray.com   Connect with me, Dr. Sabba Quidwai:   Website: https://designingschools.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabba-quidwai/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/askMsQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/designing_schools/

Authentic learning requires our students to step up and truly engage, truly join the process. But in truth, that's easier said than done... for our students. Learning is scary! It makes us vulnerable. There is a real risk of failure, of embarrassment, of challenging the good things we think about ourselves and reinforcing the bad things. So how can we support our students in taking this leap? How can we scaffold exploration and discovery? In this solo episode, Nicole shares a few ways you can support students as they embark on their authentic learning journey.Referenced Resources:Spark Subscription101 The Brain Science Behind Your Students' (Missing) EngagementMore Resources: Teaching Science in 3D on Instagram & FacebookSubmit a QuestionExplore phenomenon-based, discovery-centered learning with iExploreScience.

Andy Pitchford is the Head of the Centre for Teaching and Education at the University of Westminster in London. His research is in the fields of education, pedagogy and community sport. In the early 2000s, Andy was part of a team of researchers who investigated safeguarding in sport, and particularly in football, and this led to a series of publications including a book - Child Welfare in Football - that was published by Routledge in 2007. More recently, Andy has worked with colleagues on another Routledge text, 'The Handbook of Authentic Learning', which reflects more recent interest in pedagogies that give students power and agency. In this conversation Andy shares some of the insights from a new paper that he has written that is currently in review called 'Playing Uphill and Into the Wind: Counter Cultural Coaching in Youth Football.' The conversation explores the experiences of coaches that have tried to work in a child centred way and how challenging it has been for them to overcome a culture that has become dominated by notions of performance and toxic hyper competitiveness.
