147: Former BYU President Kevin Worthen | Say “Yes” as Often as Possible

Kevin Worthen was the 13th president of Brigham Young University and is a “BYU guy through and through” as he says. Kevin earned both his bachelor's and law degree from BYU, graduating summa cum laude. After graduating from law school, Kevin clerked for the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White, and later spent a year at the University of Chile as a Fullbright Scholar. Kevin also served as Dean of the BYU Law school and as Advancement Vice President of BYU before serving as President. Most recently, Kevin spent a year at Yale Law School as a distinguished visiting professor. In this episode we discuss the following: As Ken Burns said, “Leadership is humility and generosity squared.” Leadership is admitting we don't know everything and then giving credit to others for their success. When Kevin played basketball in college, his coaches would use every second of the timeouts to coach the players. But as the years passed, he noticed that coaches started using the timeouts to counsel with the other coaches. There's power in admitting you don't see everything and in getting advice from others. As the President of BYU, Kevin learned to say “yes” as often as he could, because there are so many times as a leader that you have to say “no.” It's important to be generous and kind when saying “no,” especially because saying “no” typically doesn't persuade anyone. I love two of the quotes Kevin shared: “Anger never persuaded anyone” and “The law of love is undefeated.”   Follow Me: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/

But according to our guest, a lack of access to appropriate support, as well as discrimination against students struggling with their mental health, are all too common on American campuses. Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu is the founder and director of the non-profit Project LETS, which stands for Let's Erase the Stigma. Project LETS is a national grassroots organization and movement focused on creating innovative, peer-led alternatives to our current mental health system. Their work includes peer support and communicative care, political advocacy, organizing, and mutual aid. Project LETS's mission looks beyond academia, though; led by and for people with lived experience of mental illness/madness, disability, trauma, and neurodivergence, it “seeks to build a world without systems of oppression where non-carceral responses to crises are the norm.” The organization is now active on about 30 college and high school campuses across the country. Kaufman-Mthimkhulu is a 2017 graduate of Brown University with a degree in Medical Anthropology and Contemplative Studies, and was a 2018 Fullbright Scholar. They describe themselves as a "white, queer, non-binary, disabled, neurodivergent care worker who shows up for their communities as a Disability Justice and Mad Liberation educator and organizer, parent, doula, peer supporter, writer, and conflict intervention facilitator." *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year. MIA is funded entirely by reader donations.

Katie is a Fullbright Scholar who has lived all around the world and has built her career and business success on her learning superpower.

It's the subject of her keynote and her book, which I initially thought would be the focus of our conversation. But when we talked, it was all about the power of learning, having a learning mindset and lifestyle, and how transformative learning is to organizations and business owners. In our conversation, Katie shares her unique experience of starting her consulting business, moving to Japan, and forging a deep connection with long-term Toyota executive Isao Yoshino. Isao gave her behind-the-scenes insight into the role of learning and the continuous improvement culture of Toyota. We go deep into the power of having a learning mindset and how it creates the conditions for excellence, risk-taking, and so much more. We also talked about our shared experiences as internal consultants, leaping into business ownership, and how to stay resilient and focused when scaling to new heights. In this episode, you'll hear: Why entrepreneurs constantly need to step outside of their comfort zone to start or scale their business and how it creates fears and imposter syndrome Katie's strategy for development professionals who love to learn How you can use your learning superpower to quell fears quickly when you are taking bigger risks with your business Learning is Katie's superpower, and I bet it is one of yours as a consultant or coach!

Creating the Conditions of Learning To Foster Engagement & Growth In Times of Disruption

The “Conditions of Learning” work synergistically to support student engagement and understanding. But what happens when systems are stressed? What happens when deficit based language and practices start to creep into our work with children? What happens when teachers are not able to be responsive to the students before them? In this episode of the Phenomenal Teaching Podcast, Michelle Morris Jones reconnects with Dr. Brian Cambourne and author Debra Crouch to unpack the ways the “Conditions Of Learning” are more relevant today than ever before. First and foremost learners must be the “doers” of what they are learning. Today's students must have ample time to read, write, talk, problem solve, and apply their learning. Being a doer is supported by engagement, immersion, demonstrations, employment, expectation, approximation, responsibility and response ~ these conditions are commonly known as the “Conditions of Learning” or “Cambourne's Conditions” and are an essential component of “Cambourne's Model of Learning.” Our expectations for students and our responses to them are more important now than ever before, we must believe they are capable and they must know that we believe in them. By honoring approximations we are able to see our students' strengths and plan our instruction to support those strengths and address any needs. Immersion, Demonstration, Responsibility and Employment (or use) come together to create opportunities for authentic application and practice. Engagement is critical as we must strive to create environments where each and every student is able to create a bond so that learning can occur. To learn more you can examine Dr. Cambourne and Debra's book Made for Learning: How the Conditions of Learning Guide Teaching Decisions. Brian Cambourne is presently a Principal Fellow at the University of Wollongong, Australia. He began teaching in 1956 at the age of 19 and spent nine years teaching in a mix of one-room schools and primary classrooms K-6 for the New South Wales Department of Education. In his tenth year of service for this department he entered the groves of Academe as a teacher educator at Wagga Wagga Teachers College. He completed his Ph.D at James Cook University in North Queensland, and was subsequently a Fullbright Scholar and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard. He has also been a Visiting Fellow at the Universities of Illinois and Arizona. Since completing his doctoral studies (1972), Brian has been researching how learning, especially literacy learning, occurs. He has conducted this research in the naturalistic mode he prefers by sitting in classrooms for many hundreds of hours. Debra Crouch works nationally as an independent literacy consultant, collaborating with districts and schools in designing professional learning opportunities to empower teachers, principals, and coaches as they envision instruction over time, across texts, and among practices. She has been involved in education for the past 32 years as a classroom teacher, coach, consultant, and author. She actively shares her thinking and practices through long-term professional learning opportunities with districts across the country serving children from diverse language and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Quantum Quote: “The key to mitigating CO2 and affecting climate change lies in governments' abilities to use their procurement power to procure carbon sequestered materials at grand scales. If we follow that mechanism, we could mitigate climate in a significant way, billions of tons.” – Brent Constantz, Ph.D.   The crucial necessity of solving the climate crisis goes beyond everything else we're dealing with today.   Every year, fossil fuels and industry emit 40 Gigatons (40 thousand million tons) of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere globally..   All climate modelers think we can put maybe another 500 gigatons into the atmosphere before things really get crazy. Sounds like a lot? It's just a little over 10 years   Did you know that concrete is the most marketed material in the world other than water? And that there's about 50 gigatons of sand and gravel mined and incorporated in asphalt, primarily in concrete, every year? Concrete is actually one of the very few places where we can store massive amounts of CO2. Limestone – the most common type of rock to be mined and transported for concrete – is actually made up of CO3 (carbonate) and calcium.   So… humanity currently uses 50 GTs of concrete a year. If we can capture part of the 40 GTs of CO2 that would have entered the atmosphere, mineralize it (just as nature does with biomineralization via organisms) and put that into our concrete - we can solve a huge portion of our climate crisis.   Mineralization of CO2 is the most permanent form of sequestration of CO2 that's possible right now.   Listen to this episode as we talk about biomineralization with Brent Constantz.    Brent Constantz, Ph.D. is a Fullbright Scholar and the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Planet Systems Corporation, a serial entrepreneur with expertise in biomineralization. Over the past 25 years, Dr. Constantz as founder and CEO led three medical device companies to advance mineralization technologies for orthopedic bone cements.   Dr. Constantz founded Calera to address global climate concerns with aspirations to permanently sequester gigaton quantities of carbon dioxide in the form of carbonate minerals. Blue Planet is the next generation product using carbonate materials.   Download a free webclass to discover how easy it is to get ultra-efficient geothermal heating and cooling installed in your home – without the pain of emptying your savings account.   In “The Power Of Earth With Comfort” From Climate Master webclass, you'll discover the answers every homeowner needs to know, including:   How geothermal heating and cooling can draw energy from the ground beneath our feet (for pennies) Why homeowners everywhere are making the switch The secrets to securing utility incentives and tax credits to pay for a large portion of your new geothermal system and much more…   If you are tired of rising energy costs and want to save up to 70% on your energy bills, Go to www.AWESomeEarthKind.com and register now for this FREE special event that will show you exactly how to get geothermal heating and cooling installed in your home.   Today's AWESome EarthKind podcast is co-sponsored by EarthKind Energy Consulting – a clean energy consulting company with 3 decades of experience in creating clean energy transformations that reduce energy costs, provide outstanding financial returns, and create positive environmental impacts. Go to www.EarthKindEnergy.com to find out how you can reduce your energy costs and lower your carbon footprint.   The most immediate climate issue that's on the table right now is passing the Build Back Better Act. It is the largest piece of climate legislation that's ever been proposed in the history of our country. That single bill will put us on track to meeting and even exceeding our goals, which is hugely important and necessary if we want life on this planet to continue.   Multiply your climate impact by a factor of 1,000 with #CodeRedClimate & CodeRedCongress.com  (https://coderedcongress.com/)   SuperNova #1. Where do you think all the carbon is? When we talk about carbon as opposed to carbon dioxide, there's about 750 gigatons of carbon in the atmosphere, and the atmosphere is an 85,000 ft. thick enveloped gas around the Earth. In the whole biosphere, there's about 5000 giga tons, then in the hydrosphere, there's about 38,000 to 40,000 giga tons of carbons. In the lithosphere (buried in the earth), there's about 55 million gigatons and it turns out most of it is actually limestone that makes up ~10% of the Earth's crust.   SuperNova #2. We all are in favor of carbon legislation. But the fact is that most countries are never gonna have a carbon price. Since a lot of the ways to remove CO2 are dependent on some sort of government subsidy, we need solutions that work in poor countries as well as in rich countries.   SuperNova #3. It's really important that people think about things quantitatively when we make policies on the side of what we're gonna do. I think it's really easy to miss the forest for the trees and do really cool things thinking that they're gonna impact climate change, but until you actually look at the numbers and really see what impact they're gonna have, you don't really know.     Best Advice He's Ever Received: “Be patient.”    Personal Habit that Contributes to Success: “I spend at least an hour in the morning thinking, usually in the hot tub with a good cup of coffee.”   Internet Resource: Carbon Star   Book Recommendation: “The Origin of the Species” by Charles Darwin   Magic Wand: “It would be education.”    Most Energized About Today: “Blue Planet.”    Next Step: “Go global.”   Connect: Website: https://www.blueplanetsystems.com/

Consumption and the Literary Cookbook, edited by Roxanne Harde and Janet Wesselius (published 2021 by Routledge) examines the ways in which recipe authors and readers engage with one another through reading, cooking and eating the foods contained within the pages of Literary Cookbooks. The editors define literary cookbooks as novels and memoirs that include recipes, cookbooks that include narrative, and children's books that include recipes. Divided into three parts­– “Textual Consumption,” “Consumption and Community,” and “Cultural Consumption”– the collection explores a diverse cross section of cooking literature and food culture from nineteenth century manuscript cookbooks to cookbooks built on the narratives of childhood classics Alice in Wonderland and Anne of Green Gables. Through this assortment of historical documents and cultural touchstones, Harde and Wesselius and their contributors work to convince scholars of literature and food studies that literary cookbooks offer unique insight into the era, society, and region they represent. The collection creates a foundation for an in-depth study of consumption as it pertains to the intellectual consumption of information, emotional connection and release through empathetic consumption, and of course, the physical consumption of the edible results of the recipes contained within each book. Ardent cooks and cookbook consumers, Harde and Wesselius hope that this collection will liberate literary cookbooks from kitchen shelves and incorporate them into both literature and food studies as important tools for understanding culture and society. Roxanne Harde is Professor of English at the University of Alberta's Augustana campus where she also serves as Chair of Department of Fine Arts and humanities.

Consumption and the Literary Cookbook, edited by Roxanne Harde and Janet Wesselius (published 2021 by Routledge) examines the ways in which recipe authors and readers engage with one another through reading, cooking and eating the foods contained within the pages of Literary Cookbooks. The editors define literary cookbooks as novels and memoirs that include recipes, cookbooks that include narrative, and children's books that include recipes. Divided into three parts­– “Textual Consumption,” “Consumption and Community,” and “Cultural Consumption”– the collection explores a diverse cross section of cooking literature and food culture from nineteenth century manuscript cookbooks to cookbooks built on the narratives of childhood classics Alice in Wonderland and Anne of Green Gables. Through this assortment of historical documents and cultural touchstones, Harde and Wesselius and their contributors work to convince scholars of literature and food studies that literary cookbooks offer unique insight into the era, society, and region they represent. The collection creates a foundation for an in-depth study of consumption as it pertains to the intellectual consumption of information, emotional connection and release through empathetic consumption, and of course, the physical consumption of the edible results of the recipes contained within each book. Ardent cooks and cookbook consumers, Harde and Wesselius hope that this collection will liberate literary cookbooks from kitchen shelves and incorporate them into both literature and food studies as important tools for understanding culture and society. Roxanne Harde is Professor of English at the University of Alberta's Augustana campus where she also serves as Chair of Department of Fine Arts and humanities. A Fullbright Scholar, Roxanne researches and teaches American literature and culture focusing on American women writers, children's literature, and popular culture.

Welcome to Self Driven Radio! This is an INCREDIBLE interview with FullBright Scholar, Teacher, Creator, Writer, & Performer Alaina Freeman! Not only is she the Writer & Performer of the one woman play, The MisEducation Of Ms. Freeman which you can check out October 9, 2019 in NYC, but she is a talented individual who has a passion for life that touches everything she does! Her approach to the classroom is one that focuses solely on what's best for her kids (and trust me, they are HER KIDS!) and pushing herself to be the best person she can be; not only for herself, but for those around her. I can't wait for you to listen and to get inspired by this amazing woman! Some of the topics covered: We unpack the year in teaching that changed her life forever and inspired her to create her play We talk about the fear in education (because it exists) The beautiful and amazing lessons that teaching special ed students taught her The Soul Thing that can make any child succeed The constant fight that teachers in the classroom struggle with to keep kids from giving up on themselves The importance of investing herself as an educator The value of being yourself 24/7, in and (ESPECIALLY) out of the classroom Why its so important to push yourself to the "edge"... so you don't get used to the monotony The BIGGEST fear we all have in life... The importance of having a vision which enables you to see opportunity... for yourself and your students... The importance of legacy as a teacher... Some GREAT Quotes And Takeaways From This Interview! The one thing about special ed kids is that they were true to themselves. I really learn a lot from the children that I teach I loved the kids, I just hated teaching Schools are run off of fear... and mediocracy is rewarded Teaching is a lot of your doing it right and your doing it wrong, but its not right or wrong, it's a process His work was perfect for him When I go with my friends who don't work with children... they are a little dull... they forgot the gift of discovery... they take my energy and give my life! They needed this other thing... this soul thing... The kids in my room are creators... they would literally create the day in my room We are so scared going inside of ourselves... We don't want to work... Someone talking in a meeting... is present... You really essentially have all you need... everything else is a blessing... I don't want to feel ok... I want to feel spectacular... or else I would be doing them a disservice... I'm never asking them to do something that I won't do CHECK OUT HER SHOW IN NYC OCTOBER 9, 2019!!
