My guest today is Dr. Aditya Nagrath, who holds a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science. With over 30 years of industry experience as a software engineer, author, and entrepreneur, he's worked on everything from atomic clocks to Amazon's Kindle Fire. As founder of Elephant Head Math software and the Elephant Learning Math Academy, he's developed an online system that helps children learn about a year and a half of math in just 10 weeks when used 30 minutes per week.   In our conversation, Dr. Nagrath outlines three distinct steps to master new math concepts – define, recognize, and produce. He explains the crucial "language gap" in mathematics, and explores the difference between recognizing math symbols on paper versus truly understanding and applying mathematical concepts. Most importantly, we discuss math anxiety and what children need to overcome it.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/101

We grow up in a world where seeking approval is assumed, expected. Authority figures (like parents) assume the responsibility of approval or disapproval to teach their offspring how to move through the world.

In this episode, Joe and Brett wrestle with the complexity of approval-seeking and how to break free from it. They explore:The push and pull between belonging and authenticityThe weight of societal norms and expectationThe way doubt and conditioning pull us from our innate wisdomThe necessity of discomfort in the pursuit of true authenticityThe somatic cues that indicate when we are honoring our truth—or avoiding itPractical exercises for cultivating self-approvalSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudsonBrett on X: @airkistlerAOA on X: @artofaccompVisit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.comWe invite you to experience our work.

In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Brett and Joe take us on a poignant journey through the inevitability of death and the profound ways it shapes the experience of life. At the center of their conversation is Brett's brother, facing a terminal diagnosis, and the extraordinary lessons his life—and the process of his dying—have imparted.Through anecdotes of BASE jumping, near-death experiences, and profound loss, Brett and Joe explore the paradox of mortality: the closer you are to death, the more vividly you taste life.Brett and Joe examine:The power of mortality: How facing the truth of our impermanence can compress life into moments of unparalleled sweetness.The freedom in letting go: Why the stories we tell ourselves about success, identity, and purpose often crumble in the face of death.A life well lived: Brett reflects on his brother's choice to "dive into his family" and redefine what it means to truly live.Lessons from the edge: Stories of BASE jumping and near-death experiences that reveal the peace and clarity often found in moments of extreme vulnerability.The opportunity of goodbye: How acknowledging the fleeting nature of life can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections.As the conversation unfolds, a clear and steady message emerges: death, far from being an endpoint, is a profound teacher. It forces us to confront what matters most, stripping away the trivial and leaving only the raw truth of our existence.Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community! Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson Brett on X: @airkistler AOA on X: @artofaccomp Visit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.com We invite you to experience our work.
