For this episode, we are replaying another episode of Diverse Thinking, Different Learning, this time episode 239, in which we sat down with Ashley Harding to discuss why it's so important to allow students time for rest, rejuvenation, and exploration of their interests outside of academics, especially during the summer months. As a reminder, Ashley is a fourth-generation educator and is deeply committed to educational equity. She holds degrees from USC and Tufts University in Child Development, and her career spans more than a decade, during which she has supported students and families in private and independent schools and contributed to global education initiatives in South Africa and Belize. Formerly the Director of External Engagement for a national school network, she has co-authored research on disparities affecting Black and Latino males and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. Through her organization, North Star Academics, and her roles with BEAN and CHADD, Ashley empowers students with evidence-based strategies and advocates for those with learning differences. With summer right around the corner, this seems like the perfect time to re-air this episode, and Ashley touches upon the fact that even though academic progress remains valuable throughout the school year, summer offers a really important opportunity for students to strengthen their sense of identity, independence, and executive functioning, so, rather than filling the break with demanding academic programs, she encourages parents to instead prioritize experiences that help build confidence, self-awareness, and connection. Our conversation stresses the importance of families (both parents and students, that is) using the summer to rest, recharge, and reconnect. Ashley recommends a gradual approach, beginning with more unstructured time in June before introducing increasingly intentional activities in July and August, such as exploring upcoming coursework, reinforcing some core skills, and establishing goals for the new school year. We also explore the value of real-world learning opportunities such as cooking, managing money, and traveling, all of which can reinforce academic skills in meaningful ways while also supporting executive function development. Ashley emphasizes the importance of giving students, especially older ones, the space to pursue their interests and uncover new passions during the summer.

How often do we label someone "unmotivated" or "defiant" when they fail to start a task? What if the barrier isn't a lack of will, but an inability to simulate the future? Sarah Ward, a speech-language pathologist and co-director of Cognitive Connections, joins Emily to redefine how we conceptualize executive function. Sarah moves the conversation beyond the ability to get things done and instead frames it as a complex mental simulation. They discuss the "time horizon" and why students with ADHD often experience time blindness not as a lack of awareness, but as a developmentally delayed ability to see future tasks with clarity. They also discuss some visual strategies to bridge this gap, shifting the burden of regulation from the adult to the student's own internal self-talk. TAKEAWAYS Executive function includes the ability to pre-imagine and simulate a task in the mind's eye before taking action. Planning includes anticipating the hidden steps, such as parking, finding materials, or teacher expectations. Students with ADHD may have a time horizon that is years behind their peers. Motivation often stems from the ability to pre-feel the relief, pride, or even the anxiety of a future moment. Independence is often built through a "model, help, watch" progression that turns external adult prompts into internal self-directed talk. Late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults are frequently missed in clinical settings because their presentations - often masked by high intellect, outward compliance, or severe perfectionism - fail to match traditional diagnostic expectations. Join Emily Kircher-Morris on May 1st for a targeted continuing education training designed to equip mental health professionals with the updated frameworks necessary to identify and support this population. This session covers the clinical complexities of burnout, masking, and the internalized stigma that accompanies late identification.

Sarah Ward, M.S., CCC/SLP is an internationally recognized expert in executive function with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals with executive dysfunction. She is the Co-Director of Cognitive Connections and co-creator of the award-winning 360 Thinking Executive Function Program, which received the Innovative Promising Practices Award from CHADD for its practical, research-informed strategies. Sarah has presented to more than 2,000 public and private schools and organizations around the world. Her latest work, The Time Tracker Program, is a groundbreaking three-volume series designed to help students shift from adult-managed to self-regulated time management. In 2023, she and her co-director, Kristen Jacobsen, were named one of the Top 10 Professional Development Providers by Education Technology Insights Magazine for their global impact on executive function in education.

This week on Unlocked, Savannah sits down with someone who has been part of her life for years… her best friend, Chadd Bryant.For a long time, people have asked what happened between them. Where Chadd went. Why their friendship seemed to disappear. And in this episode, they finally talk about it… honestly, openly, and without trying to make it something it wasn't.What they share is a story a lot of people can relate to. A friendship that meant everything, built during some of the hardest seasons of life, that eventually reached a point where both of them needed space. Not because of betrayal or drama, but because of unspoken feelings, emotional overload, and two people trying to survive in their own ways.They talk about what it looked like to show up for each other during Savannah's most difficult chapter, the weight Chadd carried behind the scenes, and how their friendship slowly became something neither of them knew how to sustain at the time .But more than anything, this conversation is about what happens after the pause. What it takes to grow individually, to set boundaries, to heal, and to find your way back to someone in a healthier, more grounded way.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting our show!- Rula: Use Rula to get affordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insurance.

In this episode, I'm joined by returning guest Jeff Copper, a cognitive engineer, ADHD coach, and host of Attention Talk Radio. Jeff has been a long-time voice in the ADHD community, and today we dive into a fascinating conversation about motivation, emotion, and executive function in ADHD.Together, we explore a completely different way to think about motivation. Instead of seeing ADHD as a lack of motivation, Jeff introduces a powerful framework that explains why motivation can feel so difficult—and how the right accommodations can completely change the game. We also discuss the emotional cost of executive functioning, why “lazy” isn't a useful label, and how collaboration and conversation can unlock productivity for ADHD brains. If you've ever wondered why some tasks feel impossible while others feel effortless, this episode will give you a fresh lens to understand it.Episode Highlights[0:42] - Introducing returning guest Jeff Copper and his work in cognitive ergonomics[2:41] - What motivation really is and why it's deeply tied to emotion[4:39] - Situational variability: why ADHD brains may choose TikTok over taxes[7:32] - Why the word “lazy” doesn't belong in conversations about ADHD[9:00] - The two-force model of motivation: automatic brain vs. executive functioning brain[15:02] - How executive function impairment changes the effort required for motivation[17:05] - Why willpower and rewards often fail as long-term ADHD strategies[18:49] - The problem with “extra time” accommodations and what might work better[20:30] - Why direct oral conversation can be a powerful ADHD accommodation[24:30] - The hidden role of collaboration in productivity and problem solving[30:11] - A real example: using conversation to get started on something like taxes[36:46] - How talking through problems strengthens executive function[42:15] - Are people with ADHD verbal processors?[45:01] - The big takeaway: ADHDers aren't unmotivated—they just need the right accommodations[47:25] - Thinking partners vs. accountability partnersLinks & ResourcesJeff Copper, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach, is founder of DIG Coaching Practice and host of Attention Talk Radio and Video.

We welcome back Chad Kenney, VP Product Management, to explore the new definition of "Enterprise-ready" in data infrastructure. We discuss how reliability and uptime are more critical than ever, with downtime costs frequently exceeding $300,000 per hour for a majority of companies according to a recent survey. Kenney notes that while hardware fails less often today, the major causes of downtime—namely security issues and human error—still persist, accounting for a large portion of outages. Our discussion pivots to how Everpure addresses this by simplifying architecture to reduce points of failure by using proprietary data devices instead of traditional SSDs. The new standard for enterprise readiness requires a system built on first principles with a software-centric view of resilience. We then explore how a key differentiator for modern enterprise-ready infrastructure is proactive support, which Everpure has always delivered through extensive telemetry and "fingerprints" that predict issues before they cause an outage. Our predictive technology is so effective that 70% to 75% of support calls are for problems that have not yet occurred. Architecturally, simplicity is critical, including the use of stateless controllers, which eliminates complex manual data management during upgrades, and limited error paths. Furthermore, our software-first mentality abstracts complexity, such as automatic management of RAID groups, to deliver autonomous systems. This frees storage administrators to become strategists and simultaneously reduces the potential for human error, enhancing overall system resiliency. We also dive into cyber resiliency, performance, and the future of data management driven by AI. Everpure builds layered cyber protection through capabilities like SafeMode, native encryption, and partner integrations. This approach prioritizes near-instantaneous recovery from local snapshots, which is faster than recovering from backups. Looking forward, Enterprise-ready means a unified platform (the Enterprise Data Cloud) where diverse workloads, including AI inference processing, can run simultaneously with consistency, enabling "data as a supply chain". This vision is achieved through the API-first and Fusion-enabled platform, ensuring that new feature functionality is immediately available for automation, all while maintaining the simplicity and continuous innovation provided by Evergreen.

Chadd and guest Jeremy Ryan Slate explore the Roman presence in first-century Judea, tracing how Roman governance, client kings (like Herod), and methods such as crucifixion shaped the political context of Jesus' trial and death. Slate — a scholar of Catholic theology, early Roman propaganda and author of The Roman Pattern — explains key moments in the Gospels through Roman law, propaganda and logistics. The episode covers Pilate's dilemma, why Jewish leaders brought a political charge, the symbolism and purpose of crucifixion, Josephus's historical corroboration, Paul's Roman citizenship and mobility, and the catastrophic destruction of the Jerusalem temple and its wider consequences. Slate also connects these historical patterns to modern themes of civilizational stress and media, and discusses his work with Command Your Brand. Listeners can expect a mix of biblical, historical, and practical perspectives — a clear primer on the Roman-Jewish interplay around Jesus' life, a look at Reformation-era causes like indulgences, and personal reflections on faith, family travel, and building an authentic public brand.

Chadd sits down with hospice nurse and author Penny (Influencing Death) to demystify end‑of‑life care. They cover the difference between hospice and palliative care, natural vs. medicalized death, practical guidance for families (medications, food/fluids, smoking, when to call hospice) and how to choose a hospice provider. The conversation also explores emotional and spiritual impacts—acceptance, forgiveness, joy and legacy work—plus vivid deathbed stories, the phenomenon of deathbed visions and the debate around DMT and other “woo‑woo” moments near death. Real patient examples (including personal stories about Mr. Don) illustrate what to expect and how to support a loved one. Penny shares her journey from late‑in‑life nursing school to over a thousand hospice deaths, offers resources for families, and explains how talking about death eases anxiety. Guests and listeners will leave with compassionate, practical tools and a hopeful perspective on dying.

Join the hosts as they dive into some of the Bible's strangest accounts, sharing baffling stories and trying to make sense of them. Highlights include an extended look at Ezekiel's prophetic sign (the 390 days, the siege brick, and the infamous dung-bread), the talking donkey and angel of Yahweh in the Balaam narrative from Numbers, and jaw-dropping episodes from Judges—Ehud's assassination of a fat king and Samson's superhuman feats and downfall. This episode blends historical context, theological reflection, personal reactions, and plenty of humor and banter as they weigh literal versus allegorical readings and what these accounts reveal about God's sovereignty and methods. Expect curious details, cultural background, vivid storytelling, and takeaways about the Bible's mysteries—most notably a reminder that the gospel remains Scripture's deepest, most surprising mystery.

Chadd talks about how by being a part of a "tribe" you become a pawn and why we must maintain our ability to think for ourselves.
3 of 7 unpacks why Greenland has moved to the center of global attention: a mix of historical claims, Cold War-era bases, NORAD radar positioning, and the strategic pathway for intercontinental missiles. They trace American interest from WWII through Truman to Trump's public mentions and the island's continued military relevance. The episode also explores Greenland's natural wealth — lithium, rare earths, uranium and other minerals under the ice — and how those deposits factor into a tech-driven resource race with China and Russia. A major segment examines “Praxis” and venture-backed proposals (linked to figures like Peter Thiel and tech leaders) to build libertarian smart cities or testing grounds in sparsely populated areas, and why Greenland has been touted as an ideal site. Key takeaways: Greenland's importance is both military and economic; private tech capital and political maneuvering are accelerating interest; environmental, ethical and sovereignty questions complicate any acquisition; and the conversation ties into larger themes about future governance, consolidated power, and global competition. Sponsors and training notes are briefly mentioned.
