Podcasts about big takeaways

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!

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!

State Senator Julian Bradley joins Matt Kirchner for a wide-ranging conversation on how policymakers should be thinking about AI, energy, and education. Bradley explains why his committee chose not to recommend regulation of AI, how this move differs from other states, and how artificial intelligence could help solve workforce shortages in critical sectors like healthcare, public safety, and manufacturing.The conversation also explores the future of nuclear energy as a clean, scalable power source—especially as data centers and advanced industries drive up demand. Bradley shares his push for small modular reactors and the bipartisan momentum behind nuclear innovation. Finally, the two dive into K-12 education, taking on literacy rates, school choice, and why high schools need a complete overhaul to actually prepare students for life after graduation. Whether you're an educator, policymaker, or industry leader, this episode offers practical insights into the policy decisions shaping our future workforce.In this episode:Why one state senator believes not regulating AI may be the smartest moveHow artificial intelligence could help solve labor shortages from childcare to healthcareWhat policymakers are missing about nuclear energy—and why that's about to changeWhy our current education system is setting students up to fail, and what to do insteadHow a wrestling ring, a mother's wisdom, and a literacy-first mindset shaped a political career3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Regulating artificial intelligence requires caution, context, and a long-term view: Senator Bradley led a legislative study committee on the regulation of AI and ultimately chose not to recommend new regulation, citing the risk of stifling innovation and creating barriers for businesses. Drawing on testimony from sectors like healthcare, public safety, and education, the committee focused instead on building a knowledge base for future legislative action—prioritizing flexibility over rushed policymaking.Meeting future energy demand will require bold thinking and bipartisan cooperation: With AI, data centers, and industry driving massive increases in power needs, Bradley is pushing Wisconsin to embrace nuclear energy as a scalable, clean solution. He outlines current efforts to support small modular reactors, prepare regulatory frameworks, and position the state as a leader in 21st-century energy policy.Education reform must focus on real-world readiness, from literacy to life skills: Bradley calls for a complete overhaul of high school—moving away from rigid grade levels toward personalized, career-connected learning. He also stresses that without strong literacy skills, students can't access opportunity, and that solving academic gaps early is essential to preparing engaged citizens and a capable workforce.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about Senator Julian BradleyLearn about the work of the 2024 Legislative Council Study Committee on the Regulation of Artificial IntelligenceWe want to hear from you!

Hey friend, I am so glad to have you here in April! This month, we're leaning into Rest and Presence because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply show up. In today's episode, “Showing Up Matters,” we're talking about how your presence, just you being there, can change everything.

What happens when a legendary NFL team partners with a tech giant to fuel regional innovation?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Jill Enos, Managing Partner at TitletownTech — the one-of-a-kind venture firm backed by the Green Bay Packers and Microsoft. Jill unpacks how TitletownTech is redefining early-stage investing by embedding startups directly into industry, education, and community. From AI labs and autonomous robotics to sustainable agtech and nuclear fusion, Jill reveals how the Midwest is quietly leading a new era of tech-driven economic development.Listen to learn:How TitletownTech blends NFL roots with global tech leadership to drive innovationWhy Microsoft chose Wisconsin for its new $3.3B data center and AI Co-Innovation LabWhat makes the Midwest the perfect launchpad for startups solving real-world problemsHow venture-backed founders are tackling challenges in energy, logistics, and healthcareWhy exposure to problems — not solutions — is the secret to educating tomorrow's innovators3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Public-private partnerships can fuel real innovationTitletownTech was founded through a unique partnership between the Green Bay Packers and Microsoft, later joined by 25+ corporate investors like Schneider, Kohler, and AT&T. This model provides startups with not only capital but direct access to strategic partners, industry leaders, and market feedback that accelerates growth.The Midwest is a powerful engine for emerging technologiesTitletownTech has invested in over 30 companies, including Realta Fusion (nuclear energy), Fork Farms (agtech), GenLogs (freight intelligence), and Cobionics (healthcare robotics). Microsoft's $3.3 billion data center in Mount Pleasant and the launch of the AI Co-Innovation Lab in partnership with UW-Milwaukee are cementing Wisconsin's place as a tech and AI hub.Solving the right problem matters more than having the right answerJill Enos emphasizes that successful founders are “obsessed with the problem” rather than fixated on one solution — a mindset educators should instill in students. Startups like Springbok Analytics, which uses AI to create digital twins of MRIs, thrive by iterating solutions through real-time market feedback and strategic industry partnerships.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about TitletownTech: https://www.titletowntech.com/Partnerships mentioned in this episode:AI Co-Innovation Lab (UWM + Microsoft + TitletownTech)Microsoft Data Center (listen to our conversation with Microsoft VP Mary Snapp)Dive deeper into some of TitletownTech's portfolio companies that were featured in this episode:Fork Farms - Indoor hydroponicsCobionix - Heathcare robotics & autonomous ultrasoundsGenLogs - Freight intelligenceRealta FusWe want to hear from you!

The right mentor can totally change the college and career trajectory of a student. Today, we're exploring the power of mentorships through the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.Join former NASA astronaut Joe Tanner and current Astronaut Scholar Curtis Althaus as they dive into the powerful, and often overlooked, role mentorship plays in building tomorrow's innovators.Through their personal stories, you'll hear how mentorship goes beyond simply offering advice. It's about offering guidance in those pivotal moments—helping mentees navigate tough decisions, inspiring them to chase big dreams, and providing the type of insight that only years of experience can offer. Whether it's choosing between two internships or deciding which research path to pursue, mentorship gives students the clarity and confidence they need to thrive.The conversation also sheds light on why the mentorship experience is a two-way street. For Joe, it's not just about imparting wisdom; it's about building meaningful relationships that continue to shape both mentors and mentees long after the formal program ends. And for Curtis, being part of ASF isn't just about the scholarship—it's about becoming part of a dynamic community that challenges him to push boundaries and think bigger.Listen to learn:Why mentorship in STEM isn't just about academic guidanceThe unexpected ways mentorship creates clarity, confidence, and lifelong connections for both mentors and menteesHow ASF's mentorship program builds a community where learning, collaboration, and innovation go hand in handWhat it means to be a part of a “family” of scholars who not only receive support but give it back as they growThe actionable insights Joe and Curtis share about navigating career decisions, embracing failure, and seizing unexpected opportunities3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Mentorship in STEM goes far beyond academics. Joe and Curtis share how their mentor/mentee relationship is far less about Joe advising Curtis on his academic journey, and far more about sharing a lifetime of wisdom to help Curtis with all aspects of life. It's a great reminder that you don't need to be an expert in the same field as a student to become their mentor.Programs like ASF offer a lifelong community which can have long-reaching impact for students. Curtis shares how his ASF experience has evolved from academic support to a true "family" environment, where the community of scholars connects, learns from each other, and shares the same passions and big ideas. Getting involved in a community of peers - those with similar ideals and those with differing viewpoints - can have a huge impact on a student's life.Brilliant people can come from anywhere. Credit to Curtis for this brilliant observation, but through his time at ASF he's met bright individuals from every background imaginable. Being open to new people and new experiences can create a much more wholistic life experience for young students.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, visit: www.astronautscholarship.orgWe want to hear from you!

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, but resilience isn't about muscling through. It's about learning, adapting, and trusting that you're stronger than you think. In today's episode, we're breaking down what it really means to stay resilient, even when you feel like giving up.

Why do so many students (and adults) believe they “just aren't good at math”? How can educators shift that mindset and build confidence in STEM learning?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Kathy Meyers, a veteran high school teacher who blends sports psychology with math instruction to help students overcome self-doubt, develop resilience, and master problem-solving—critical skills for both the classroom and the workforce.Kathy shares how techniques used by elite athletes—positive self-talk, goal-setting, and focus strategies—can transform student outcomes in STEM education. From tackling math anxiety to fostering leadership and teamwork, she provides practical strategies that educators and parents can use to support student success.Listen to learn:The role of self-talk, confidence, and mindset in learning math and technical subjectsHow Sudoku puzzles teach problem-solving and resilience from day oneWhy playing to win vs. playing not to lose matters in both sports and educationHow to help students reframe failure as growth in STEM classroomsReal-life stories of students who applied these lessons in college, careers, and beyondThe power of a positive mindset can completely change the trajectory of a student's life! Educators and leaders, these are great tools to instill in your classroom and workplace.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Mindset Matters in Math and STEMStudents often struggle not because they lack ability, but because they believe they aren't “math people.” Applying sports psychology techniques like positive self-talk and goal-setting helps reframe their approach to learning.2. Failure is Part of the Learning ProcessJust like in sports, students need a growth mindset to push through challenges. Teaching strategies like trying different problem-solving methods (as with Sudoku puzzles) encourages resilience and adaptability.3. Confidence and Preparation Lead to SuccessWhether it's a test, a job interview, or a big presentation, students perform best when they train their minds like athletes—visualizing success, controlling self-doubt, and focusing on small, actionable steps.Resources in this Episode:View Kathy's YouTube channel with math tips & tricks!Other resources:The Happiness Advantage by Shawn AchorNapoleon Hill booksNorman Vincent Peale booksTony Robbins resourcesRudy - A football movie about perseverance and goal-settingWe want to hear from you!

Life isn't about getting everything right—it's about showing up, growing, and giving yourself grace along the way. In this episode, we're kicking off our new theme, Resilience in Action, by talking about Grace in Imperfection. We all wrestle with the pressure to be perfect, thinking it will make us more worthy or successful. But the truth? Perfection is a myth, and grace is what gives us the strength to keep going. We'll unpack how shifting our focus from perfection to progress helps us move forward, why grace is the fuel for resilience, and how embracing our imperfections actually makes us more relatable and impactful. Because God isn't asking us to be perfect—He's asking us to trust that His grace is enough.

With sign-stealing scandals shaking Major League Baseball, the game needed a solution. Enter PitchCom, the cutting-edge communication technology that's changing the way baseball is played.In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with John Hankins, co-inventor and owner of PitchCom, to unpack the surprising origins of the technology (it was inspired by John's stage mentalism experience!), the innovative and unhackable tech that comprises the PitchCom system, and why it has completely changed the game of baseball. Beyond baseball, PitchCom is a case study in applied technology—how engineering, wireless communication, encryption, and even sound design can be used in unexpected ways. The lesson for educators? What your students learn in the technical education classroom—electronics, software, mechanics, and problem-solving—can lead to groundbreaking inventions in any arena.Listen to learn:How stage mentalism, sound engineering, and encryption tech came together to create PitchComHow PitchCom reduced wild pitches to the lowest levels in MLB history and sped up game play by cutting down time lost to sign-callingWhy PitchCom's encryption is so secure that it's mathematically impossible for teams to hack—more secure than the number of atoms in the universeHow engineering students can apply their skills in creative industries—from sports tech to entertainment and beyondWhy college baseball, the Canadian Football League, and even scuba diving are exploring this technologyWhat future inventors need to know about turning ideas into patented, market-ready productsIf you teach technical education or have students interested in technology, this episode is a must-listen. The next big innovation could come from your classroom!3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Innovation thrives in times of urgency and challenge.PitchCom wasn't just a cool idea—it was a solution to a crisis in baseball. The Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal created an undeniable need for secure communication, and John Hankins applied existing technology in a new way to fill that gap. Great inventions don't start with ideas—they start with problems.2. True innovation comes from blending different disciplines.John's background as an engineer, patent attorney, and stage mentalist gave him a unique perspective on communication and encryption. Whether it's combining sports and tech, or magic and engineering, the biggest breakthroughs come from crossing industry boundaries and thinking outside traditional silos.3. Data is the future of every industry.PitchCom started as a tool to prevent sign-stealing, but now it's unlocking new levels of player performance data—tracking pitch accuracy, command, and strategy in real time. From sports to manufacturing to education, those who understand and leverage real-time data insights will lead the future.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about PitchCom's technology, visit: pitchcom.comWe want to hear from you!

Let's go over the unique symbols, associated elements, and the energies represented in each. Visualize or draw your own yantra as you listen to:

Venture capital is the engine behind many of the world's most innovative startups—but only 2% of VC funding goes to women-led businesses. Why does this gap exist, and how do we fix it?This week Matt sits down with Jennifer Abele and Raquel Filmanowicz, Founders and Managing Partners of VC 414, a firm dedicated to funding women, minority, veteran, and LGBTQ entrepreneurs. They break down how venture capital really works, what makes a startup investable, and how educators can help the next generation of founders succeed.If you're teaching entrepreneurship, mentoring young innovators, or just curious about how diverse startups get funded, this is a must-listen.Listen to learn:How venture capital works and why so little funding goes to women and minority entrepreneurs.What makes a startup investable—from founder traits to market potential and exit strategies.The biggest mistakes first-time entrepreneurs make when pitching to investors.How AI, workforce development, and education startups are shaping the future of venture capital.Why technical skills alone aren't enough—the key business skills founders need to secure funding.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:Diverse founders face barriers—but also bring untapped potential.Only 2% of VC funding goes to women-led businesses, despite data showing they often outperform male-led startups. VC 414 is working to change this by providing early-stage funding and mentorship to underrepresented founders, particularly in workforce, education, government, health, and wealth.The best founders are coachable, resourceful, and relentless.Investors look beyond ideas—they bet on people. VC 414 prioritizes grit, adaptability, and strong communication skills when selecting startups. A great founder can stretch $1, adapt to market changes, and take feedback without ego. Without these traits, even a promising idea can fail.Education plays a critical role in developing future entrepreneurs.Technical education provides a strong foundation, but business acumen, networking, and problem-solving skills are just as crucial. Founders who lack access to networks and mentorship often struggle to raise capital, which is why VC 414 not only invests in startups but connects entrepreneurs to key industry relationships to accelerate their growth.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about VC 414, visit their site: vc414.comStartups mentioned in this episode:Mastertech.aiEvenRex K-12Are you an entrepreneur?
