What if audit wasn't just a watchdog—but a catalyst for innovation, trust, and long-term growth? And what can education learn from it?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Matt Kirchner sits down with Abim Kolawole, Chief Audit Executive at Northwestern Mutual, to explore how risk management, when done right, becomes a strategic advantage. Abim shares his remarkable journey—from growing up in Nigeria and watching Wall Street as a kid, to becoming a lawyer at the SEC, to now leading audit at one of America's most respected financial institutions.But this episode goes far beyond compliance. It's about how innovation and integrity can—and must—coexist. Abim breaks down how technology can accelerate outcomes only when deployed safely, how AI is reshaping how organizations detect and act on risk, and why relevance is the new currency for both businesses and educators.Listen to learn:Why tech is only an accelerant if you deliver it safelyHow AI helps businesses “listen for risk” and act with foresightWhat schools can learn from client-centric models in businessHow Northwestern Mutual is balancing tradition with transformationWhy critical thinking—not just tools—is the real superpower3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Audit is no longer just about compliance—it's about enabling innovation. Abim Kolawole views audit as a strategic partner that delivers foresight, insights, and confidence to help a company grow safely. By using data, analytics, and a future-focused mindset, internal audit can help organizations place smarter bets, not just avoid bad ones.2. Technology only accelerates value when it's implemented with trust and purpose. At Northwestern Mutual, cloud migration and emerging tech like AI are approached with a “safe by design” mindset that includes cross-functional vetting and intentional guardrails. Abim emphasizes that skipping this step puts long-term client trust—and company relevance—at risk.3. Education leaders can learn from the client-centric models used in business. Just like Northwestern Mutual redesigned the advisor and client experience using design thinking, educators must reimagine the student and teacher experience before introducing new tools. Critical thinking, not technology alone, is the foundation of a truly transformative education.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about Northwestern Mutual, visit: www.northwesternmutual.comCheck out the movie Wall Street, mentioned in this episodeFollow Abim on LinkedInConnect with Northwestern Mutual on Social Media:LinkedIn  |  X  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  YouTubeWe want to hear from you!

In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Duncan Kane, Senior Vice President at Toshiba America, shares insights from nearly two decades of working at the intersection of industry and education. Drawing from his leadership in STEM outreach, Duncan explains why Toshiba sees early STEM engagement not just as a good cause—but as a strategic investment in the future of innovation and the workforce.One way Toshiba brings this vision to life is through its long-standing partnership with the National Science Teaching Association on ExploraVision, a science competition that challenges K–12 students to design technologies 20 years into the future. But as Duncan explains, the program isn't really about competition—it's about creativity, purpose, and helping students see themselves as future innovators. The conversation explores what happens when kids take ownership of real-world problems, the importance of dreaming big (with or without big budgets), and how industry can play a more active role in developing STEM talent.Listen to learn:Why students are more innovative when they don't know what's “impossible”How choosing personally meaningful problems changes how kids approach STEMWhat happens when students design technology for the year 2045Why Toshiba believes building a STEM pipeline starts in your own backyardWhat schools risk losing when STEM programs are first on the chopping block3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Students come up with more creative solutions when they haven't yet learned what's “impossible.” Duncan explains that younger students are often more willing to dream big because they haven't developed the cynicism or constraints that come with adulthood. In ExploraVision, fifth graders have proposed ideas like AI-powered glasses that interpret sign language and wearable devices to predict seizures—solutions rooted in bold thinking, not technical limitations.2. When students choose problems that matter to them, STEM learning becomes personal and powerful. Many teams in ExploraVision choose issues they've encountered firsthand, like a relative's epilepsy or local environmental concerns. That personal connection drives deeper engagement and creativity, whether it's robotic honeybees to help pollinate crops or fire-resistant materials inspired by mushrooms.3. Building a future STEM workforce doesn't require a billion-dollar initiative—it starts locally. Duncan urges companies to start in their own communities, supporting local students and educators in ways that feel personal and authentic. Toshiba's partnership with NSTA and the success of ExploraVision demonstrate how consistent, community-rooted efforts can scale to national impact—reaching 450,000 students over 33 years.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about ExploraVision, visit: exploravision.orgExploraVision partner NSTA (National Science Teaching Association): nsta.orgAdditional resources from this episodeExploraVision Winners: See details on this year's winners + previous yearsDiscover more from the We want to hear from you!

In a world of digital overload, short-form media, and AI-powered personalization, staying focused has never been harder. Today, the average attention span on any screen is just 47 seconds. What's causing this decline in focus, and what should educators do about it?Those are some of the questions we discuss with Dr. Gloria Mark, UC Irvine informatics professor and author of Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity. Dr. Mark explains the psychology behind attention, including the difference between controlled and automatic processing, the role of self-regulation, and how sleep debt, stress and individual cognitive rhythms factor into a student's ability to concentrate. She also points to a growing trend in education: designing classroom content to accommodate short attention spans, which may be unintentionally reinforcing them.The conversation also takes a timely turn into how AI tools—from TikTok's recommender systems to ChatGPT—are changing the way students interact with information, and what that means for deep learning, retention, and even courage in the classroom.Listen to learn:Why shrinking attention spans aren't your fault—and what's really driving themHow schools may be unintentionally reinforcing short-form thinkingWhat AI and automation are doing to deep learning and reflectionThe hidden role of sleep, stress, and self-regulation in attention3 powerful strategies students can use to take back control of their focus3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Short attention spans are not a personal failure—they're shaped by both individual traits and digital environments.Gloria distinguishes between controlled and automatic attention, noting that much of our behavior—like checking phones or clicking notifications—happens without conscious thought. These automatic habits are reinforced by our environment, particularly digital technologies that train us to switch rapidly and respond to constant stimuli.2. Classroom strategies that cater to short attention spans may be doing more harm than good.Gloria highlights a trend in education toward breaking lectures into smaller chunks or assigning only short passages instead of full books. While well-intentioned, these adaptations risk further weakening students' ability to engage in long-form content and develop deep, reflective thinking.3. AI tools like TikTok and ChatGPT are reshaping how students consume and process information—often at the cost of deeper learning.Platforms driven by recommender algorithms use random reinforcement to keep users engaged, conditioning them for rapid content consumption. In the classroom, reliance on generative AI can create a disconnect between students and the material, undermining “depth of processing” and reducing the cognitive benefits of making mistakes.Resources in this Episode:Official website of Dr. Gloria MarkSee official show notes page for more resources!Connect with Dr. Gloria MarkFacebook  |  We want to hear from you!

What do all high-impact, disruptive—and sustainable—K-12 programs have in common?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Dr. Annalies Corbin, founder and CEO of the PAST Foundation and author of Hacking School: Five Strategies to Link Learning to Life. With more than 25 years of experience transforming how students learn, Dr. Corbin offers a bold, research-backed framework for schools to break away from obsolete models and embrace learning that's applied, relevant, and enduring.From student agency to transdisciplinary teaching, she unpacks five core strategies that successful, long-lasting innovative programs share. Along the way, she shares lessons from 275 episodes of her own podcast, Learning Unboxed, and reflects on what too many students—and educators—are missing.If you've ever asked, “How do we fix education?” this episode answers: by rebuilding it for the real world.Listen to learn:Why our education system isn't broken—it's just built for a world that no longer existsWhat employers say young professionals are missing (and why it's not technical skills)How education research and funding models are holding back real innovationThe five core strategies every long-lasting, high-impact program has in commonWhat 275+ conversations with education disruptors reveal about the future of learning3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. The education system isn't broken—it's outdated: It still functions exactly as it was designed 100 years ago, prioritizing compliance over relevance. Dr. Corbin argues that instead of adding “federal band-aids,” we need a complete redesign from the ground up.2. Young professionals are graduating without real-world readiness: Employers report that new hires can pass exams but struggle to collaborate, ask questions, or admit what they don't know. These missing skills are costing companies time, productivity, and mentorship bandwidth.3. The best programs that last 10+ years all share five traits: Dr. Corbin identified five essentials: student agency, culturally relevant education, mastery learning, transdisciplinary teaching, and problem-based learning. When schools commit to all five, students experience learning that connects directly to real life and future careers.Resources in this Episode:Get the book Hacking School: Five Strategies to Link Learning to LifeLearn more about the PAST FoundationListen to Learning UnboxedConnect with Annalies on Social Media:Instagram  |  LinkedInWe want to hear from you!

After 20 years in automation and controls engineering, Danny Murphy received a call from a local community college that would bring his journey full circle—back to the kind of impact his own high school electronics teacher once had on him. Today, he's a nationally recognized educator, named A3's 2024 Educator of the Year, and he's redefining what hands-on learning can look like in a modern mechatronics lab.In this episode, Danny shares how early challenges in the classroom led him to move beyond textbook instruction and introduce student-designed projects with real-world relevance. From programming robots to serve cereal and slice cake to engineering capstone challenges with custom tooling, his students are learning by doing—and developing the kind of technical and creative skills that employers notice.What began as a simple effort to share classroom activity on LinkedIn and Instagram has evolved into a powerful tool for student opportunity. With over 30,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 on LinkedIn, Danny's short, engaging videos have led to direct job offers for students, new partnerships with engineers and PhDs, and a growing network of industry engagement. The results are tangible: students getting hired, programs gaining visibility, and technical education reaching far beyond the classroom.Listen to learn:How to transition from lecture-based teaching to hands-on, student-driven projects that boost engagementWhy adding creative freedom to technical labs leads to better retention and real-world problem-solvingA simple video strategy on LinkedIn or Instagram that can directly lead to student job offersWhat educators should consider before posting student work onlineHow showcasing student work publicly can attract industry partners and grow your program's reputation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Student-designed projects increase both engagement and retention. Danny's students learn core concepts like user frames and loops by designing their own robotics challenges—whether it's scooping cereal or slicing cake. This creative freedom forces them to problem-solve, adapt, and truly understand the material, rather than just following instructions.2. Social media is a powerful tool for connecting students to real opportunities. By consistently posting short, authentic videos on LinkedIn and Instagram, Danny has helped at least six students get hired directly from what industry partners saw online. These platforms have become an extension of the classroom—offering visibility, credibility, and direct links to the workforce.3. Giving students real-world skills—and a teacher who believes in them—can change their lives. From project-based labs to job-ready training, Danny's classroom gives students more than technical knowledge; it gives them confidence, purpose, and a path forward. For many, it's the first time they've been truly seen for what they can do—and that recognition can be life-changing.Connect with Danny on Social Media:Instagram  |  LinkedInDon't forget to Ask Us Anything!We want to hear from you!

Let's talk about 3 big takeaways from Bessent....

What happens when a university rethinks the whole higher ed model rebuilds it around hands-on, project-based learning?Matt Kirchner dives into the bold model pioneered by Worcester Polytechnic Institute with Dr. Kristin Wobbe, Director of the Center for Project-Based Learning. A biochemist turned curriculum innovator, Kris has spent nearly two decades helping WPI embed real-world projects into every stage of a student's education.From first-year seminars on global challenges to immersive junior-year team projects with community partners around the world, WPI's model turns students into creators, collaborators, and critical thinkers from day one.Whether you're a university leader or an instructor in search of a better way to teach, this episode offers a masterclass in how to make learning stick.Listen to learn:Why students don't need to “know everything” before they dive into hands-on learningHow WPI redesigned its calendar and credits to prioritize deep project workWhat first-year students can accomplish when they take on global problemsHow project-based learning transforms both faculty culture and student confidenceWhy WPI students are more prepared for the workforce than their peers3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Project-based learning works best when it starts early and is embedded across the entire student journey.At WPI, students can opt into the Great Problems Seminar in their first year—a two-course sequence that explores global issues like food security, energy, and AI through interdisciplinary teamwork. By senior year, every student must complete a Major Qualifying Project worth three full courses, often in partnership with faculty or industry, making project-based learning a requirement, not an add-on.2. The humanities directly enhance technical learning and student outcomes.WPI's alumni data shows students who complete their humanities and arts curriculum earlier perform better in technical coursework later on. These experiences sharpen communication, interdisciplinary research, and critical thinking skills—essential for identifying problems worth solving and communicating solutions effectively in STEM fields.3. Project-based learning is scalable far beyond polytechnic institutions.Through WPI's Center for Project-Based Learning, Kris and her team have supported schools ranging from the Air Force Academy to community colleges and liberal arts institutions like the New England Conservatory of Music. With 85% of WPI faculty incorporating projects into their courses—and over half of student work now project-based—the model proves adaptable across disciplines, schedules, and resource levels.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Center for Project-Based Learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, visit: https://wp.wpi.edu/projectbasedlearning/Other resources:Read Kris's book Project-Based Learning in the First YearBeyond All ExpectationsWe want to hear from you!

How do we build bipartisan momentum to support the future of CTE?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, a national leader and co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional Career and Technical Education Caucus. Drawing from her personal upbringing in a STEM-focused household and her decades of public service, Senator Baldwin shares why CTE is essential to our economic future.Senator Baldwin offers a candid look at how federal policy is influencing the future of technical education. She discusses the uncertain outlook for funding, efforts to align apprenticeship laws with modern tech careers, and why short-term training is becoming a national priority. With clear ties to workforce needs and economic strategy, it's a conversation grounded in both practicality and urgency.Listen to learn:Why short-term training needs to be federally funded like degree programsWhat Congress is doing to modernize U.S. apprenticeship lawsHow Buy America provisions are creating new manufacturing jobsWhy the technical college system is a key asset in attracting new industry3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. CTE is one of the rare policy areas with true bipartisan alignment: From Buy America provisions to workforce training, Baldwin sees common ground among lawmakers focused on economic development. She credits this unity to the shared recognition that technical education is vital to America's industrial strength.2. Short-term training needs to be recognized in federal financial aid policy: Senator Baldwin emphasized the importance of allowing Pell Grants and other aid to support short, job-focused programs—not just two- or four-year degrees. Without this flexibility, learners may be forced to take on unnecessary debt or misrepresent their intentions just to access support.3. Apprenticeship programs must be updated to reflect today's workforce: The National Apprenticeship Act hasn't been reauthorized since 1937, leaving many modern industries and small businesses without a clear path to participate. Baldwin is pushing for a bipartisan update that would make it easier for employers of all sizes to offer earn-and-learn opportunities.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about Senator Tammy Baldwin, visit: www.baldwin.senate.govConnect with the Senator on Social Media:Facebook  |  Instagram  |  X  |  YouTubeWe want to hear from you!

By day, Justin Mondeik applies his technical skills in engineering; by night and weekend, he races Super Late Model cars.From racing snowmobiles at age four to competing just one level below NASCAR, Justin has built a career on technical skill, hands-on passion, and relentless drive. In this episode, he shares how a technical education prepared him for success on and off the track—and how motorsports can help manufacturers reach the next generation of talent.In this conversation, Justin takes us inside the highly technical world of racing—from chassis dynamics and car setups to the conditioning and precision it takes to win.We explore how manufacturers are using racing sponsorships not just for brand exposure, but as a creative workforce strategy to recruit skilled, hands-on talent. It's a conversation that'll get you thinking about how education & industry can leverage ultra-creative ways to engage the next generation of workforce talent.Listen to learn:Hear what it's like to be behind the wheel of a race car, and all the unseen work that goes into winningWhy hands-on experience and technical training give racers an edgeThe science—and occasional mystery—behind setting up a winning carHow educators can leverage students' hobbies to engage them in hands-on learningHow companies can tap into motorsports to recruit the next generation of talent3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Technical education can give students an edge—on and off the track. Justin's background in mechanical design from Northcentral Technical College and Michigan Tech gives him a competitive advantage in racing—from car setup to real-time problem-solving. That same hands-on, systems-based thinking is exactly what manufacturers need in their workforce today.2. Motorsports audiences are filled with future skilled workers. Fans who show up at the track tend to be mechanically inclined, hands-on, and deeply interested in how things work—traits that align closely with careers in manufacturing, machining, and engineering. These are often the same students who thrive in tech ed programs.3. Industrial employers can benefit by getting creative with their workforce outreach strategies. One of Justin's manufacturing sponsors used his car and race-day presence to launch a targeted hiring campaign—and successfully recruited new employees. Since there's so much overlap in racing fans and technical talent, it's a creative place for manufacturers to immerse themselves and engage with a potential workforce.Resources in this Episode:Connect with Justin Mondeik Racing: https://www.justinmondeikracing.com/Connect with Justin on Social Media:Facebook  |  Instagram  |  X  |  TikTokWe want to hear from you!

What do tariffs have to do with technical education? A lot more than you might think.As U.S. trade policy shifts, it's not just manufacturers who will feel the effects—STEM and technical education programs will too. From rising equipment costs to a surge in demand for skilled talent, today's tariff decisions could reshape how we train tomorrow's workforce.In this episode, Matt Kirchner explores five critical ways that educators should be preparing for the ripple effects of tariffs. It's a wake-up call to start thinking strategically, update your curriculum, and make sure your students are ready for a world where automation, AI, and global trade all converge in the classroom.Listen to learn:Why technical training programs should expect price hikes—and how to budget for themHow trade policy is accelerating the need for AI and automation educationWhat states will soon be looking for when they invest in workforce developmentWhy traditional “shop class” thinking won't cut it in a high-tech economyHow to scenario-plan your way through policy uncertainty5 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Tariffs will accelerate the return of manufacturing—and increase demand for skilled talent. As reshoring continues, manufacturers will need more trained workers than ever before. Technical education programs must be ready to scale up and supply that talent.The jobs aren't coming back the way they left—they're far more automated. Modern manufacturing is built on robotics, sensors, and smart systems. Educators must pivot from legacy skills to training in advanced automation technologies.Artificial intelligence is becoming central to every technical career. AI is transforming how work gets done across industries, including manufacturing. Students need exposure to data systems, machine learning, and the edge-to-cloud continuum now.Expect rising equipment costs—and budget accordingly. Tariffs will drive up prices on imported training tools and components. Programs should prepare for 10–15% increases and act early to avoid disruption.State funding is likely to grow—but only for programs that can prove results. As federal education policy shifts to the states, workforce funding will follow. Educators who can demonstrate strong pipelines to high-skill jobs will be the ones who get funded.Resources in this Episode:Book: Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human SpiritDeloitte study on manufacturing workforce gapsJamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chairman & CEO, "As always, we hope for the best but prepare the Firm for a wide range of scenarios.”Other episodes mentioned:What Rising Tariffs Mean for Companies, Workers, and the Future of Trade,John Murphy - Vice President and Head of International, U.S. ChWe want to hear from you!

I recently wrapped up two incredible days at the NASM HQ (that's the National Academy of Sports Medicine) in Gilbert, Arizona. Not only did I deliver TWO (2) keynotes to their team of 100+ passionate fitness professionals & executives, but I also sat down with three (3) of NASM's top leaders for a powerful series of convos that I had to bring straight to YOU today. This episode is all about coaching, leadership, mindset, and the FUTURE of the fitness industry. I hope you are ready to dive in…   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Mindset Coaching with TD (Opening Segment): Why relationships > resumes—and how to deepen the ones that matter most. How perfection is killing your momentum—and what to do about it. The power of vision as your anchor—not just for 2025, but for the next decade of your life and business. Behind-the-scenes look at how we're using vision boards at TDE & Impact X—and why YOU should too. On Location at NASM HQ (Gilbert, AZ): I sat down with three (3) NASM leaders to talk shop, drop fire, and share the future of coaching with you.   Guest #1: Tony Ambler-Wright – Product Manager, NASM What NASM-1 (aka N1 Membership) is—and how it supports 40,000+ trainers every year. Why the biggest opportunity in fitness is actually in career sustainability, not just certification. The rise of high school and midlife career changers entering the industry—and how NASM is equipping them. Guest #2: Mike Fantigrassi – Head of Product, NASM The BIGGEST trends shaping the fitness world in 2025: longevity, biohacking, GLP-1s, wellness coaching. How NASM is teaching trainers to safely and effectively coach clients on weight loss meds like Ozempic. The shift toward behavior change, motivational interviewing, and building deeper client relationships. Why 40% of NASM course buyers are using them for personal growth, not just careers. Guest #3: David Van Daff (aka D.V.D.) – VP, Industry Development & Public Affairs A powerful recap of my keynote to NASM's full team. What it really means to lead at work, at home, and within your community. How to develop leaders in your business (and why it's the fastest path to growth). Setting guardrails around your schedule, energy, and relationships to avoid burnout. Why trainers MUST learn sales, communication, and business development to stay in the game long-term. And the one thing every coach needs to remember: “Never underestimate the power of ONE.”   Big Takeaways from this episode: Today's trainer needs to be more than just physically fit—they need to be a leader, a life coach, a business builder, and a trusted guide. The fitness industry isn't shrinking—it's EXPANDING. But only those who evolve will thrive. Success today is about alignment of your vision, your habits, and your community. If you're a trainer, coach, or leader who's fired up to create IMPACT—do me a favor.
